I'm a sucker for cat pics as well, a lesson to get into your head, and yet another thing I don't know about Substack...

If there’s one thing that you can NEVER forget about a 9-5, it’s that the work will never be completed.

There’s always one more customer request, one more assignment, one more task to complete. Learning the true meaning of the phrase “the work will always be there” is one of the toughest things for a completionist to get over.

Here, too, this truth holds.

Writing is a never-ending process, an upward spiral, another chance to connect.

Here’s what I’ve got for you this week.

BlueSky Bit - simply because I can’t keep scrolling political stuff nonstop

Medium Maxim - a reminder of the lessons that await me in “The Alchemist”

Substack Sampling - another thing that I absolutely have no clue about on this platform

Prismatic Progress:

Using AI to help me with my ideas and honing the themes that I want to use for my writing has been quite helpful, and I’m becoming more interested in exploring other ones outside of ChatGPT.

On another note, I decided to subscribe to a year of Canva Pro again for the first time since my YouTube days…and I’m becoming a little more open to considering adding that into my content in the future. I have an immense backlog of vlogs from the past few years and a ton of ideas now.

So far, I’ve collected a few series together into three eBooks, and I’ll be using Canva to create other useful things again.

You may have noticed that my newsletter issues have gotten longer, and I’m considering splitting them into smaller ones. Maybe I’ve reached the Eve Arnold level where I can crank out two articles a day?

We’ll see. One of my weaknesses is my tendency to stretch myself too thin.
