Why I’m Changing My Substack Game (Thanks Jari!)
A new schedule, a fresh mindset, and a small shift that could bring big value—for both you and me.
Hey friends,
Every writer reaches a point where they pause, reflect, and realize that something must shift.
That moment hit me recently after a thoughtful and eye-opening call with none other than
—a creator I’ve admired for his clarity and generosity.Our conversation nudged me to fine-tune the way I show up here, and I’m excited to share what’s changing (and what’s not).
What You Can Expect Going Forward
Starting this week, here’s how I’ll be publishing:
🆓 Tuesdays – Free newsletter for all subscribers
🔒 Sundays – Paywalled newsletter with more profound insights for paid members
Don’t worry—the Sunday editions won’t leave you hanging. I’ll include a small preview (a “blurp,” as I like to call it) for free readers so you’ll always know what you’re missing out on 😉
This change is about bringing more intention to my writing, my connection with you, and how I can serve both free and paid readers with clarity and consistency.
Why I Write (And Why You’re Here)
I write about productivity, mental clarity, and reclaiming focus in a world obsessed with doing more.
This newsletter isn’t about hustle—it’s about humanness. I share:
My experiments with getting things done
Productivity hacks that don’t require you to become a robot
Mental health tools that support a slower, saner way of living
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by your to-do list or want to lead a more thoughtful, intentional life—you’re in the right place.
❤️Thanks, Jari (and a Little Confession)
Jari didn’t just help me reshape my schedule—he also reminded me of a powerful practice:
👉 Engaging with and recommending like-minded newsletters.
I’ve been guilty of not doing enough of that.
I've let this slide between my advisory roles, work-life juggle, and board meetings.
So here’s a personal promise: I’m carving out time weekly to read, engage, and amplify other brilliant creators. Because this isn’t just about writing—it’s about being in a community.
Where am I (And Where I’m Going)
I’m now 789 subscribers strong and joined by 2,102 followers. It’s humbling, energizing, and motivating.
I know many of you are reading, nodding, and bookmarking. Now, I’d love to convert more of you into paid subscribers so I can continue offering richer content and creative resources and maybe (just maybe) launch that Productivity Vault I’ve been dreaming about.
If you’ve found value here—consider going paid.
If not today, maybe this Sunday’s newsletter will be the nudge you need.
What’s Coming Next
A free Tuesday edition on how to slow down without falling behind
A Sunday paywalled piece: “The Productivity Myth That Almost Burned Me Out”
I’ll start recommending my three favorite newsletters (stay tuned for the list next week!).
Thanks for being part of this journey. I’m excited to keep evolving, writing, and showing up for you with more purpose and focus.
See you Tuesday.

P.S. If you’re a fellow creator reading this—I’d love to know what changes you’ve made lately.
And if you’re just here for the vibes?
That’s cool, too. You make this fun.
