@sentientt_media SKILLS

Fuck it. Prompt engineering officially died last month. Anthropic dropped the 32-page internal guide that replaces it with “Skills” reusable workflow folders Claude learns once and never forgets. Progressive disclosure + MCP = your personal AI employee that actually remembers how you work. The era of re-explaining everything every chat is over. Download the guide + my updated 2026 Skills starter pack here (free): Comment “SKILLS” and I’ll DM both.

📝Me: I should write. 🧠My brain: But first, let's organize every photo 📸 we've taken since 2015 #WritingLife #Procrastination Anyone else’s brain do this?

@nathanbarry Brilliant!

Every professional should start an email list, but not everyone should write a weekly newsletter. Here's what you should do instead: 1. Choose a topic that you know well. That could be UI design, real estate floor plans, buying businesses, e-commerce, or something else. Something that your friends and co-workers ask you for help on. 2. Write a 5 email series (in a Google doc) teaching that topic. Each email should be 250-500 words. Write like you're explaining it to a friend. Ask 2-3 friends to review it for you. 3. Create a landing page in @ConvertKit for the course. There are 30+ templates to choose from and it's easy to set up. Write the headline around the value you're delivering. 4. Load your emails into a ConvertKit email sequence connected to your landing page. Now any new subscriber will get the emails on autopilot, timed to when they subscribed. 5. Link to the landing page from your social media bios. Now anytime you are active on social you're driving people back to your email course. 6. Ask for replies on what questions readers have or anything else you should add. Filter those into a label in GMail. Then once a month spend an hour and make any suggested updates or improvements. That's it! You can go back to practicing your craft on a regular basis, without the burden of creating consistently. But you've done three things for yourself: 1. You have public documentation of your expertise. That will lead to many more opportunities that you can't predict. 2. You're saving yourself time. When someone asks you "hey, what are your best tips on learning [your topic]?" you can send them to your free email course rather than having to explain it all one off to them. 3. You're building an audience. If you ever decide to double down on content creation you've given yourself a head start. At first you'll have 25 subscribers, but if the course is valuable that will quickly grow to hundreds. I know people who have used this strategy and picked up thousands of email subscribers before they took it seriously. Those subscribers resulted in hundreds of thousands of dollars in business for their agency. 10-20 hours of work to set this up will pay dividends for years to come!

@nevmed Love this! Can you talk more about the “what you did this hour” column? What’s your thought process for that?

My best productivity advice for 2024: • Write your to-do list the night before. • When a task is finished, scratch it off. • Never add to your to-do list the same day. • Once you finish to-do list, you must hard-stop working.

Are you a writer often haunted by the 'Should Do's' in your craft? I'm peeling back the layers of this notorious checklist, the one we all know but find tricky to consistently implement. Brace yourselves, we're about to tackle the art of writing, one 'Should Do' at a time. 🧵👇

Finally stop 'shoulding' on yourself 💩 by creating a plan & taking it one step at a time. You can do this 👊

@thedankoe 💯% 👏👏👏 I often say, sailing solo doesn't mean refusing the crew, it means choosing the winds over the anchors!

I don't care about hiring dozens of employees. I don't care about managing teams and scaling to the moon. I don't care about watering down what built me to this point. I care about understanding, creative struggle, and self-development. Everything else is to be eliminated.

@ItsKieranDrew Love this! Reminds me of the quote: "To defy gravity, add wings. To enjoy the flight, lose the weight!"

To achieve success, apply effort. To maintain success, remove friction.

@thejustinwelsh Oh man this is so true! I see your 95% and raise it to 98%

One of the clearest signs of intelligence is being interested in other people’s perspectives. 95% of people I meet aren’t. Crazy.

Most people suck at writing. But if you use these 10 writing secrets, I guarantee you won’t: 🧵

The life of a writer: Write a lot, walk a lot, read a lot, and by all means, don’t get distracted by the Internet so you can focus on your writing.
