🔬 Weekly experiment 2, 2021

Hey There.

You should have received the confirmation email for the new mailing list. Please switch to the new email list as soon as possible if you haven't yet. Tnx.

With the beginning of the new year, I'm going back to weekly newsletter format plus three pieces of content a week.

I also finally managed to ship the Minimalistic software newsletter. Subscribe to the bit-sized weekday developer tips, if you belong to the geek camp.

Above plan involves a lot of content for each week. Nine pieces per week to be exact plus all social media posts. I'll have to up my writing game to hit the mark. I hope that I have enough ideas in the closet this time to make it work.

I'll most probably have to switch the format at some point, but till foreseeable future, that's the new format 😂

So, why?

Short answer. Momentum. Long answer: Why I struggle with writing?

If anything, I completely lost my momentum in 2020. First, two months not so much, but in mid-March, I was literally grounded 🛬 (like all of us ...).

I was supposed to be on the road 2 - 3 weeks a month—slightly more than in the past three years. Travel all the time.

So I went from visiting a new place every few weeks to staring into the same four walls of my apartment, for a year. That had a tole on me.

It wasn't the lockdown or isolation that messed with me, but the fact that I didn't have to go anywhere. In June, when some of the travel restrictions were lifted, I had no desire to travel again.

To be honest, it's pretty simple. Staying in motion is easier than sitting ducks and do something every now and then. So force yourself to move that ass of yours if you haven't lately 😉 I certainly have to force my self.

🔬 Weekly experiment 53, 2020 & 1, 2021

During the Christmas holidays I spent most of the time reading, creating, writing and reflecting:

To top off the calm holidays, I watched the new documentary The Minimalists: Less Is Now | Official Trailer | Netflix that was released on 2021-01-01. If you need a little decluttering motivation or not, it's worth the watch.

"Offer."

Since I want to take my writing to the next level, I'll begin with a systematic pre-review process of the articles I publish. If you want to become a reading test bunny and preview some of the pieces I write, let me know.

Don't forget to experiment and cheers till the next experiment.

Ziga

P.S. Sharing is caring so forward this newsletter to two friends. If you like what you read here, it would be kind of selfish not to share it with others 😉
