Annual reviewI know incredibly well what kind of company I want to work for. It was an incredible lesson and it is time to move on to the next chapter. I have started my first interview with a creator for the new series (even though I edited the title after sending the letter). I will have more interviews with artists, writers and creators lined up as I intend to put more time to write these letters for you this year. Related: Alisa Bacon - Interview With a Creator vol. 1 This week challengeTo start fresh and get back to the routine of creating and writing next year, there would be a creative or writing challenge every other week. The first 5 challenges are going to be sent to you in the coming weeks in 2023. The remaining would be sent to paying subscribers for the rest of the year. I would feature some of you in the letters. Just hit reply and send me what you are writing or creating with my challenge. This week challenge:
12 week yearI have come across the idea of 12 week year a few times last week. I will see if I can implement that soon. I know that I either stay complacent or get myself working on too many projects at once. This time, I am not doing 12 week year for productivity, but giving myself mercy to just test it out and see how it goes. Of course, Notion would have a template for that.
Quitting Alex ElleI have been thinking about the idea of quitting for a while. I always seem to quit much later than I need to, whether it is the idea that I can do it all or to please the people I can never please.
I have set up to give you a 7-day free trial to get access to all subscriber-only letters. If you like reading this newsletter, share with your friends on Twitter, LinkedIn, WhatsApp or Email to help me reach more people. Tip me a coffee if you feel generous. Take care, |
