Value first. Automation second
An easy peasy tip, plus an alternative point of view.
Are your New Year resolutions on track? One easy way to improve your odds is to create a "me-time" event in your calendar.
Now, on to this week's ideas...

Everything you read from me comes from my brain. Here's why:
- It helps me talk better.
- It sharpens my thinking.
- It helps me know myself better.
- It helps me uncover hidden logics.
- It's the path and craft of the writer.
- It's an intellectual challenge I enjoy conquering.
- It helps me develop my voice, my point of view.
- It helps me make time for deep work and keeping busyness at bay.
- It allows me to experience flow (as defined by Mihály Csíkszentmihályi).
- My brain (and so do yours) already has its own LLM—nurtured, curated and ever evolving.
My guiding principles:
- Protect your learning process.
- Nurture your critical thinking.
- Create human connections.
- Automate what might help you with all of the above.

Thanks for reading 🤟
