Hello my friends,

If you want to come up with better ideas, here are some suggestions ↓

  • Take a walk (30+ mins preferably).

  • Listen to new podcasts.

  • Read books (as a practice, not 5 mins before bed).

  • Talk to different people.

  • Read CMMN WLTH.

It’s not that hard,

— Andy

Product

  • An introduction to “Invisible Asymptotes”. A long but important read if you’re trying to grow a product or business.

  • Have you ever wondered what the original product brief for Powerpoint looked like? “Presentation graphics for overhead projection” by Robert Gaskins, 1984.

  • Video call mood monitoring software is somewhere between Harari’s Homo Deus and Black Mirror. AI brings a whole new meaning to reading the room.

People

  • Why do the smartest people embrace being wrong? People who are right a lot of the time also change their minds often.

  • Encourage your friends (and colleagues) to ship their ideas. Putting something out starts the feedback flywheel, enabling your work to get better in less time.

  • Everyone wants to hire but nobody likes to fire. How to make it as painless as possible for both manager and employee.

Process

  • I think writing is one of the most overlooked skills in life and I’m dedicated to making mine better. I’ve taken a few online courses but the one that made a noticeable difference is the CopyThat course by Sam Parr.

  • Learning to learn is the foundation of mastery. Understanding how memory works and effective strategies for revision.

  • If you’ve just announced your triumphant return to work on LinkedIn then The First 90 Days by Michael D. Watkins is worth a read (or re-read). After the great resignation must come the great re-hiring, right?


Out of Office

According to this study, 61% of American adults reported gaining weight during the pandemic.

As the days get longer and the weather improves it’s the perfect time to go outside and develop a new habit.

Here’s a definitive list of bodyweight fitness progressions, with video instructions, to get you started ↓
