Forge Skills 10x Faster in 2025

Imagine mastering a skill in 2 days instead of 2 months. With the rise of AI, a lot of us are feeling threatened in our careers. It doesn’t matter if you’re an artist, musician, coder, or photographer, AI can do some part of all of those jobs. But if you can pick up new skills fast, you can ride this wave of opportunity instead of being swallowed up by it. Suddenly, you can get a new job or grow your business a lot easier than someone who doesn’t know how to learn as fast as you. I’m going to...

Want to read the online version? 🚀 Read it here You need to work less, not more, to get things done. You’re building your business on the side of your day job and it’s going well. But you’re going so much slower than everyone else online. They all have more followers and more business than you. So, what’s going on? When you finish work for the day, you’re probably exhausted. You might have the time to work on your business if you’re lucky. But you sure don’t have the energy. Of course you...

Want to save this article for later? Read it online: Read Later You know what’s funny about working from home? You forget what real humans actually look like. Last night, I ventured out from my garden office and went to an in-person networking event. It was at the hotel I used to work at when I was 18. I spent the evening awkwardly inserting myself into different conversations. You know, trying to relearn how to socialise after spending too much time just hanging out with the dog. That’s...

My friends and I were on our way to a gig in London and made quick pit stop for some food next Waterloo Station. We thought we’d venture further afield than the usual McDonald’s. So we went one restaurant over to try some chicken 😅 I didn’t expect to be wowed by Popeyes Chicken… But before I knew it, I was stuffing perfectly cooked chicken and chips into my mouth in under two minutes. Sure, the food was good. So good we actually went back for seconds at the end of the night. But really it was...

My team was until I realised ClickUp Chat could replace Slack and save us £1,000 a year. Slack was cool but it came with a price tag. I was already using ClickUp for project management. A while back they came out with ClickUp chat. Then I noticed they had upgraded their Chat features. So I thought, Why...

How I Built a Personal Image Organiser to Replace mymind I’ve always loved trying out new apps, especially ones that make organising life a bit easier. A while ago, I started using mymind and thought it was the app. You could save just about anything into it. Articles to read later, images, notes, bokos, and the AI would tag everything automatically. No folders, no hassle. Just search for what you needed, and there it was. If you’re a designer, it has this cool “same vibe” feature where you...

Want to have better conversations? ClickUp have recently released ClickUp Chat so you can keep projects and chat in one place. Click here to check it out How Ancient Wisdom Can Transform Modern Conversations A few years ago, a colleague of mine lost control of his temper and punched another. It was like a scene from The Office (the UK one of course). The punch was pretty crap but the biggest damage was to relationships and trust across the team. That thought came back to me recently while I...

Hi Reader 👋 Let's say someone shares an article with you or you find something with a headline that really grabs you. You want to read it now but you’re busy trying to run a business here! You don’t have time so you save it to your read-it-later app. And never look at it again… Here’s why read-it-later apps didn’t work for me and the cost-free solution I’ve found instead. Omnivore’s Shutdown If you haven’t heard, Omnivore recently shut down. It was a lot of peoples favourite read-it-later...

Hi Reader 👋 New: Listen to this email I’m at my day job building out a ClickUp dashboard to try and make sense of all the tasks, deadlines, team progress. And then I stumble upon this card, and it’s called the Who’s Behind card. This card shows “Inbox unread notifications” and “Total overdue tasks” for each user in the workspace. When I went and had a look at it and actually saw the data, it was kind of shocking. Out of the 18 people in the workspace in my day job, 6 of them (an entire...
