​A fun email for Friday. I hope you enjoy!

Edition: Friday, February 3rd, 2023​

🎤 Listen to this email here:

Swipe:

Checkout this door flyer I received:

It appears to be handwritten (it's just a convincing print) so it catches your attention. Then it explains why replacing your windows is a good idea during the "down season."

I thought this was a great flyer that drums up business in the slow season...and the "handwritten" nature of it somehow got me to read all the way through!

Wisdom:

The political style of your brain is a dictatorship, not a democracy.

You are the dictator in charge.

Ruthlessly prune out people/news/information that doesn't serve you.

Essay:

"Copywriting" is associated with writing words on a page, but my definition is:

"Installing an idea into someone’s head and getting them to take action."

The medium could be: ​
- Writing
- Images
- Videos
- Software
- Combination of all the above

The medium of transmitting information has changed many times, the human brain has not.

Sketch:

Apparently this is how Benjamin Franklin used to organize his day 🤔

Almost all daily to-do list methods are similar. Like this "Ivy Lee Method" of productivity:

The beauty of this system is it limits you to 6 main tasks, then forces you to first organize them by importance. You can fill out a chart like this everyday:

​My own daily to-do list method looks like this:

I will say my daily to-do list is more complicated looking than my monthly goal layout which is very simple:

I hope you enjoyed these Friday tid-bits!​
