Hello my friends,

Thank you for all the positive feedback on last week’s issue and cheers to everyone who shared it. I truly appreciate every click.

Top of mind this week:

  • The importance of working on what matters.

  • How to turn yourself into a learning machine.

  • Livestream commerce is eating the world.

  • Tesla combines digital x physical to disrupt the insurance industry.

I hope you enjoy this week’s curation.

Before you get into it, I’d like to ask one favor: hit the ♥ button at the top of this issue to help others discover CMMN WLTH.

Have a great start to your week,

— Andy


Product

  • Tesla uses a digital twin method to collect individual vehicles data and improve the user experience for the owner. Will it disrupt the insurance industry?

  • Need convincing that Livestream Commerce is the future? Two streamers pull in the equivalent of Twitter’s annual revenue in half a day.

  • This fantastic essay breaks down why efficient isn’t always effective. Written on the subject of advertising, it rings true for any creative endeavor.

People

  • The top five regrets of the dying. Reflections that are more relevant today than ever.

  • “One of the biggest challenges we face in modern culture is a lack of humility.” A lesson in humility and how it can help us create.

  • As you climb the ladder, working on what matters becomes increasingly important. A note on pacing and the value of genuine expertise.

Methods

  • Critical thinking and creative problem solving are essential to innovation. Here’s how to embrace uncertainty and challenge conventional wisdom.

  • Reading truly is a superpower. Turn yourself into a learning machine using these techniques to retain what you consume.

  • Open enough tabs in Google Chrome and your computer will start to sound like a plane engine. This handy extension pauses tabs that are not in use saving battery life and your sanity.


Out of Office

Living in a bilingual household I’ll occasionally hear a word that describes a situation with no literal translation to English.

Eunoia is a fascinating repository of over 500 words that don’t translate ↓
