Summary: Gylt is designed to be a comprehensive guide to living a more organized, stress-free life across 6 Key Life Pillars. We recognize that every person's journey is unique, and what works for one person may not work for another, and our resources are built with that in mind (see our writing process here). It's designed to be flexible and adaptable, with each reader able to customize their journey based on their unique goals and needs.

As human beings, we all have the desire to live a life that is fulfilling and purposeful. We want to be healthy, financially secure, prosperous, and connected while enjoying life to the fullest. It often feels overwhelming to navigate the different aspects of our lives with so many things happening. It feels as if anytime we seem to make progress, life creates a new problem that stops our efforts and finds us back to square one. That's why we created Gylt, a comprehensive guide that covers life's core pillars, including Health and Wellness, Finance and Wealth, Career and Purpose, Relationships and Love, Fun, and Leisure, and Spirituality and Ethics to help get our life together.

Our philosophy is that organization and planning are the keys to success in all our lives. We at Gylt believe that when we live organized lives and plan out goals, we can better focus our energy on what matters and achieve our goals more effectively. Let's break down our life pillars and how Gylt can help within each.

Health and Wellness

As we all know, caring for our physical and mental health is crucial to living a happy and fulfilling life. However, knowing where to start when maintaining our health can be difficult. We provide practical tips on everything from exercise and nutrition to mental health and self-care. Following these tips and prioritizing your health can improve your overall well-being and reduce stress and anxiety.

Finance and Wealth

Money may not buy happiness, but it certainly makes life easier. Unfortunately, many people struggle with financial insecurity, a significant source of stress and anxiety. That's why Gylt includes practical tips on budgeting, saving, and investing, so you can take control of your financial future and reduce the stress and anxiety of economic uncertainty.

Career and Purpose

We are confident that everyone has the potential to achieve their dreams and live a purposeful life no matter what their background, gender, race, ethnicity, age, religion, education, income, literacy, nationality, orientation, trauma, relationship status, or family dynamic. We know firsthand that not all paths are the same, and knowing where to start when finding your purpose and achieving success in your career can be difficult. Through Gylt, we provide practical tips on everything from goal-setting and time management to networking and personal branding to help identify the reason and purpose of living your best life every day. By following these tips, you can take control of your career and succeed on your terms.

Relationships and Love

As social creatures, we all crave meaningful connections with others. That said, navigating the complexities of relationships and maintaining healthy, fulfilling connections can be challenging. Through Gylt, we provide practical tips on everything from communication and conflict resolution to building healthy boundaries and finding the right partner. By following these tips, you can cultivate meaningful, fulfilling relationships and reduce the burdens, stresses, and toxicity of relationship problems.

Fun and Leisure

We believe making time for the things that bring us joy and fulfillment is essential. Unfortunately, many people neglect their leisure time in favor of work or other responsibilities they prioritize. Gylt provides practical tips on everything from pursuing new hobbies to exploring your passions to taking vacations and spending time with friends, family, and the most crucial person in your life, yourself. By making time for fun and leisure activities, you can enrich your quality of life by actively making time for the activities you love and finding new ones.

Spirituality and Ethics

Regardless of whether you are religious or not, we believe that having a connection to something greater than ourselves is crucial to living a purposeful life. Through Gylt, we provide practical tips on everything from meditation and mindfulness to exploring your values and ethics. Connecting with your sense of spirituality or ethics can help you find a more profound understanding of meaning and purpose in life that makes all of life's pillars harmoniously co-exist.


Subscriber-Only Content

In our effort to understand what shapes someone's way of thinking, we learned that a huge obstacle and blocker to learning and applying some of the life advice outlined in Gylt is what someone knows, or instead thinks they know, about themselves. People seem to underestimate their potential based on the characteristics that society has labeled for people facing similar life challenges. To help address this and prime you for applying the learnings in Gylt, we created a series of articles for subscribers with one of the 50+ life-defining "challenges" to help understand what they are, what it means for you, and best practices for how to overcome any irrational limitations that come along with them. You'll find what most people believe are challenges may not be, and the insights can serve as powerful reminders that you are well-suited for achieving your definition of success. Example titles these series include are:

  • "The Single Mother"
  • "The Introvert"
  • "The Family Outcast"
  • "The Immigrant"
  • "The Disconnected Parent"
  • "The Breadwinner"
  • 50+ more

We hope the understanding that comes with the content helps remove the weeks, months, or even years' worth of baggage that has been limiting your growth. We've appropriately named this series of articles the Champion Series due to the profound effect of winning the fight against yourself. We made it exclusive to our paid subscribers to help fund our efforts to get your life together. If you're having trouble applying the practices from our complementary content, please consider subscribing.


Summary

Overall, Gylt is designed to be a comprehensive guide to living a more organized, stress-free life. We recognize that every person's journey is unique, and what works for one person may not work for another, and our resources are built with that in mind. It's designed to be flexible and adaptable, with each reader able to customize their journey based on their unique goals and needs.

You'll find throughout our resources that we love seeing stories, anecdotes, questions, and quotes to help build a personal understanding and connection to readers on what we often go through in pursuit of our happiness and well-being. You can also expect life stories and examples from our founder, Jonathan Chavez, and other contributors who share their own life's defining moments to communicate better how to live a more organized, prosperous life. By learning from the successes and challenges of each others' stories, we believe you can gain valuable insights and inspiration to help you on your journey.

By focusing on these key life pillars, we can all achieve our full potential and live the fulfilling, stress-free lives we deserve.

Stay tuned for how we expect to evolve Gylt through the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as we ideate and test features that can help enrich our lives that much more.
