Have you ever participated in an Ask Me Anything (AMA) session?

An AMA is a meeting where a person opens the floor to any questions from an audience. The goal is to get to know each other better.

Soooo…drumroll please… 🥁

Over this next week, I am hosting an Inbox Ask Me Anything. 🎉

I would love to get to know YOU better and help you on this journey of entrepreneur-ing your way. And you get an opportunity to learn more about me, too. 🤗

So until Friday, September 30th, please reply and ask me anything. It could be about side hustles, newsletters, productivity, caregiving, anything I’ve covered in this newsletter, even tv/music/book stuff.

I can’t wait to hear from you!

On to the picks!

P.S. I love experiments, so I’m excited to see how this goes! And if folks like it, I’ll make it a consistent thing.

📱. App: Swipewipe. If you’ve ever wanted to clean up your camera roll, this app is excellent and lets you do it one month at a time. Got a few minutes to spare? Do some digital decluttering. I saw this in Josh Spector’s newsletter the other day, purchased the lifetime subscription ($9!), and have already cleaned up two years of pictures. 💪🏾

📧. Resource: Email Marketing Membership. This $9/month membership provides weekly newsletter templates. I don’t use them all the time, but it’s a fantastic resource when I’m stuck on what to write about in #jesspicks. Liz also includes templates to help you get clicks, and replies, build relationships and make sales. Along with a monthly Q&A session. (spoiler: today’s AMA idea comes from one of her templates!)

@MichellCClark

there is no threshold of achievement that you must cross before you're allowed to be proud of who you are. there's always room for improvement, and your existence is always worth celebrating. don't wait—celebrate yourself, today.

Multiply your time by asking 4 questions about the stuff on your to-do list

Rather than asking “What’s the most important thing I can do today?”, time multipliers ask “What’s the most important thing I can do today that would make tomorrow better?”

Asking ourselves these questions can help us free up time in the future:

Can I eliminate this task?
If I can’t eliminate the task, can I automate it?
Can I delegate the task or teach someone else how to do it?
Should I do this task now, or can it wait til later?
