Hi everyone! ๐๐ป For a few years now, Iโve had a secret goal: write a book. Iโve always admired people who teach what they know, write, edit, record, and sell their work. Developers, designers, writers, and countless others are in a unique position; they have the means to both create and share, or sell, the things they create. Iโve successfully sold products in the past โ everything from an icon...

To become good at our work, we have to put the hours in. A deadline, announced publicly, forces you to stop being precious. It kills perfectionism and resistance to just getting shit done. The more deadlines I set, and commitments I make to other people, the more Iโm able to get done. What works for you?

Have you ever found yourself close to finishing a side project, only to become stymied by one last task you need to complete? You have to figure out how to integrate Stripe payments. Or youโre futzing around with the landing page design. You know you should just ship the damn thing but, for whatever reason, you canโt. That's what this week's episode is all about ๐

Anything that falls under the banner of "Trying to get better at the thing you do", really. I share one short article per week. It usually takes about 3-5 minutes to read, since I don't want to eat all of...

Ahoy! ๐๐ป I publish the Monday Mailer, a weekly newsletter about shipping side projects, productivity, and doing your best work.

It's my first foray into the world of podcasting โ after picking up some tips from a few people more savvy than I โ so I'm sure there will be kinks to...
