Monthly Digest # 1 — May 2021
Hi there 👋
This is my first ever newsletter, a monthly digest where I plan to share a curated list of highly insightful tweets and articles from across the web.
This month's digest is about taking action when you have a business idea, building an online audience in tech, how coding lets you see the world differently, and much more!
🚴♂️ Productivity
The thing that makes products successful is tens of thousands of tiny 1% improvements and small learnings compounding over the course of many years.

It’s an honor to watch, underestimated by nearly everyone, impossible to simply “buy,” and a miracle when it works.
The more you think about things, the less you’ll do.

Execute then analyze.
Progress over strategy.
Strategy hypothetically gets you from a to b.
In reality, only action does.
When you have a business idea, take action now before it dies.

• Write 1 paragraph about the idea
• Write a 4 slide business plan
• Write your 1st line of code
🧑📚 Personal Development
Your actions reinforce your self-perception.
— Dr. Julie Gurner (@drgurner) May 21, 2021
Hesitancy leads to insecurity over time.
Taking chances leads to confidence.
Think about the person you're reinforcing, and what you are telling yourself every day by what you do. The choices we make create us...block by block.
💡 Insightful
How good writing works.

The reader: “Good piece! You must have written it in just a couple hours because you’re a natural talent.”
The writer: “Ummm... nope. I actually rewrote the entire piece four times.”
The reader: “No way, it reads so naturally.”
The writer: “Exactly.”
