🎉 2022 Sloww Overview
- 📧 Newsletters Sent: 37
- 🆓 Public Posts: 22
- 🔒 Premium Posts: 20
- 📚 Book Summaries: 17
- 🤯🌐 Side Projects: 2 (Meta Crisis, Daily Wiki)
- 🧠 New Products: 1 (Mini Mind)
Highlights:
- Curating 500+ cognitive concepts into the 🔒Mental Mastery Cheatsheet and creating Mini Mind.
- Curating 100+ people and projects into the Meta-Crisis Meta-Resource and creating MetaCrisis.org.
- Deep diving into the lottery of birth and free will and publishing 15+ posts on those subjects.
Lowlights:
- I’m still working on the Synthesizer course. But, the course keeps getting better (in my opinion). Instead of launching a bad beta product, even the first iteration should be pretty good. I believe it will be worth the wait and overdeliver on value for the cost.
What’s next?
- In addition to the Synthesizer course, I’ll be launching a course for each of the 4 Sloww Stages. So, expect the Synthesizer course, followed by an Intentional Living course (Sloww Stage 1), followed by a Life Purpose course (Sloww Stage 2), etc.
- Here’s my full reading list to see what I’m reading next along with some areas I’m excited to learn more about (I’m only 25% through my reading list, so much more to come along with plenty of Premium content).
- You can always see what I’m working on now.
