i made a 3-day Claude Cowork for Beginners course, and it's yours for free by the end, you'll have a personalized AI teammate on your computer that: • knows your style • connects to your tools • and produces finished work you can send immediately here's what you get: day 1: install cowork, set global instructions, and run your first real task (15 min) day 2: workflows that replaced hours of my week, including building landing pages from a description and running full competitive analyses in one prompt day 3: skills, plugins, and connectors so cowork actually knows how you work and can access your tools + copy-paste prompts so you can follow along as you read like + comment "COWORK" and i'll DM it to you

finished in under 10 days, passively running codex in the background final stack is vercel + convex + mux + typescript + stripe + posthog

Sunglasses worn too much rob your brain of photons. Stanford’s Dr Tony Wyas-Coray (scientist identifying proteins to rejuvenate tissues). Note (before the Ophth. folks blow a gasket) in the full context, we discussed UV exposure and cataract, etc. times when UV is low.

When you’re 5 years old, a year is 20% of your life. And when you’re 50 years old, a year is 2% of your life. This is an explanation given why time speeds up as you age. It's called Janet's law. It states you’ve experienced roughly half of your perceived by life by 20 years old. Or to put it another way: A summer holiday for a 5 year old feels as long as the 10 years from 40 to 50 years old. But Janet's law can be broken with high agency. You have agency over the speed time. You're not a passive victim. A better explanation of why time speeds up as you age is because you have fewer new experiences as an adult, so your brain deletes the memories. If you take agency over your life, do new things and create memory dividends, time slows down. If you live your life on autopilot, you may die at 80, but feel like you died at 20 years old. If you take agency over your life, you may diet at 80, but feel like you died at 200 years old.

if you do email marketing of any sort and don't have something like this set up, you're missing out. at a high-level: 1. Connect Claude Code to your ESP's API (I use Kit) 2. Get it to do a deep analysis of all your broadcasts & sequences, look for patterns, top performers, etc. Output these to .md files that you can update periodically (every month or so) 3. Create a massive context doc with info about your biz. Products, strategy, personas, product page links, etc. (This is EMAIL_SYSTEM.md here - it's a 6,000 word doc that was built from 10 existing files I had. A mix of persona docs, research summaries, slides, PDFs) 4. Build a skill for monthly/quarterly strategy AND individual email writing. Have Claude Code ask you a ton of questions to dial this in. 5. When writing, get it to interview you first. 6. Constantly iterate. If you don't like the output, explain why and get it to update its skill/memory. This saves me a huge amount of time and actually delivers great output. It still requires effort & taste. It's not a one-shot write good email, but it cuts the time in half easily.
