Most newsletters are bloated. Here’s how to trim the fat in yours: 1. Lose the parts of your intro no one cares about — like how many new subscribers you got this week. Get to the valuable stuff. 2. Ease up on the emojis. It’s a newsletter, not a MySpace page. 3. When you’re done writing your newsletter, do a word count and then force yourself to delete 20% of the words. 4. Not every sentence needs to have an accompanying image with it — it’s a newsletter, not a scrapbook. 5. That paragraph you have at the top saying who you are and what the newsletter is? The one that’s the same every week? No one’s reading that. 6. I’d rather get a weekly short story from you than a monthly novel. (This isn’t about books.) 7. Do sponsors really need a giant image of their logo that looks like an ad and therefore is ignored by your readers? There are better ways to deliver attention to sponsors. 8. You found 20 links worth sharing? Good for you. Now cut 10 of them and save them for the next issue. 9. People are more likely to read (and share) your article if your newsletter contains a short summary and link to it on your site than the full text in the email. 10. The more actions you ask readers to take, the less likely they are to take one.

I did a Clarity Call with a new client last week. Before the call, he sent me a one-page overview of his business. It was the best I've ever seen. The page included 6 sections. Each with a one-paragraph summary or few quick bulletpoints. The sections included...

Warren Buffett believes Munger has the best 30-second mind in the world. He sees the essence of everything before you even finish the sentence. That’s because Munger has a robust latticework of mental models in his mind. Here are 8 indispensable mental models:

@sandersted I read the Korean abstract and the first sentence is a poor translation. They imply that they have done the literature research and broad consideration. I chalk it up to English not being their first language.

This paper examines the way of thinking and limitations of physicists regarding the phenomenon of superconductivity and outlines how room-temperature and ambient-pressure superconductors can be developed through the statistical thermodynamic background of the liquid state theory.

As a former materials physicist, I am genuinely unsure of what to make of this superconductivity paper. 🧵 👇

@EastenLaw @AmericanBaptist Congratulations Easten! I look forward to listening to you preach in the near future.

A personal update: after what seems like a lifetime, I’m ambivalently pleased to announce that my pastor presented me to my congregation today as a candidate for ordination with the @AmericanBaptist Church. It feels like it’s been a lifetime of discernment and, well, here I am.
