"The Front Page for Retirement"
Most car factories, like Ford or Tesla, reportedly build one car per minute. Isn't it time we do that for houses?
BOXABL believes they have the potential to disrupt a massive and outdated trillion-dollar building construction market by bringing assembly line automation to the home industry.
BOXABL homes are built in their Las Vegas factory, folded, shipped on a truck, and then unfolded on site in one hour. They aim to transform home construction, much like how Henry Ford automated car manufacturing – bringing assembly line efficiency and mass production to an artisanal, slow industry.
And they're not just dreaming big; they're delivering:
Initial prototype order delivered to SpaceX in 2020.
Subsequent project order of 156 homes from the Department of Defense completed in 2021.
Now, after implementing what was learned from those prior orders, actively delivering to developers and consumers.
BOXABL reserved Nasdaq ticker symbol $BXBL*!

How to Create a Peaceful Bedtime Ritual: A Step-by-Step Guide
A calm, gentle bedtime routine can help you unwind, improve sleep quality, and support your overall health. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to create your own peaceful ritual before you drift off:
1. Set the Mood (5 minutes)
Dim the lights or use a soft lamp to create a cozy atmosphere. Avoid bright screens—turn off phones, tablets, and TVs at least 30 minutes before bed.
2. Gentle Stretching (5 minutes)
Do some slow, gentle stretches while seated or standing. Focus on releasing tension in your neck, shoulders, and back. Simple stretches like neck rolls, shoulder shrugs, and reaching arms overhead can soothe tired muscles.
3. Deep Breathing (3 minutes)
Practice deep breathing to calm your nervous system. Try inhaling slowly for a count of four, holding for four, then exhaling for six. Repeat this cycle several times to ease your mind.
4. Warm Herbal Tea or Water (Optional)
Sip a cup of caffeine-free herbal tea, like chamomile or peppermint, or warm water to soothe your throat and promote relaxation.
5. Gratitude or Journaling (5 minutes)
Write down three things you’re grateful for or reflect on positive moments from the day. This practice helps shift your focus to calm, happy thoughts before sleep.
6. Mindful Visualization or Meditation (3-5 minutes)
Picture a peaceful place, like a quiet beach or garden, or listen to a short guided meditation. This helps your mind let go of worries and prepares you for rest.
7. Set a Consistent Bedtime
Try to go to bed at the same time every night to train your body’s internal clock and improve sleep quality.
By taking these small, calming steps each night, you create a nurturing ritual that signals to your body it’s time to rest—helping you fall asleep more easily and wake up refreshed. Sweet dreams!
