Hi all, I hope you’re doing well!
In October, I’ve decided to take up a challenge. See, I was on the verge of burning out in September, so I couldn’t find anything more reasonable than starting a productivity challenge as soon as the workload would (maybe) go down a little! Yay, genius me!
Anyway, I’m here, so might as well do the thing correctly.
Every day in October, I will be sharing one piece of content somewhere on the Internet. I wanted to use Substack as a blog, but couldn’t find a way to disable the automatic notification email and I didn’t want people to get a dozen emails in a month from my blog, so day 1 was mostly dedicated to setting up a lightweight blog.
I’ve settled on a weekly-ish email newsletter here, which will include links to what I’ve published during that week. Here’s an example:
You can also read…
Spotify and the bleak future of podcasting, on my personal blog
And 6 other similar links on different platforms, in French and in English.
What do you think of this? Does it seem like the right way to go? If you have any advice, either on how to publish once a day or on how to improve this brand-new little blog (I’m not a developer and I have no idea what I’m doing there, please be very patient), or on how to improve the Substack newsletter, please do so!
See you next week for a real newsletter + links to everything I’ve published in between! (And if you want to know sooner, I have a Twitter thread too!)
Have a great end of week,
Lexane
Update: I figured out how to not send an email approximately three seconds before sending this email, but hey, I spent all morning building a blog, might as well use it now.
