Hello friend, With just 18 days left in 2025, now is a great time to reflect on the year and think about next year. To help, this weekend's digest has an annual review flavour. I am sharing several doodles, articles, and podcasts from my archive to support your reflection and goal-setting. I hope you'll consider running some personal experiments alongside your goals next year and see how that feels (if you haven't read Tiny Experiments for inspiration yet, now would be a great time). I also...

Hello friend, I've been feeling that "end of year" energy this week. What about you? I like the emphasis on slowing down a little, reflecting, and planning rest. On the subject of rest, I'm going to take a couple of weeks off over the holiday period. This means I won't send a weekend digest email on 27 December or 3 January. I've already started planning my last two digests of the year for you, though, and I am excited to send them. Next weekend's email will have an annual review and planning...

Hello friend, I don't know about you, but I have found the extra Black Friday email traffic a bit overwhelming this week. If you have made time to read my email today, I really appreciate it. Thank you. On the subject of sales (insert awkward face emoji here!) I've applied a one-week discount to my Trust Your Task List Masterclass. I am referring to this as a seasonal price wobble! Let's crack on with the digest👇 ✏️ Doodle Essay and Voice Note I have a doodle essay and a new voice note for...

Hello friend, Welcome to your weekend. First, a little personal news: If you read my last Now Page update or follow me on social media, you will be aware that Guernsey had some small (but, for me, significant) elections this week. I, along with some other fine folks, was elected as a Parish Douzenier (a local public office role). If you're curious about how tiny islands operate, there's a link on my Now Page you might enjoy. I'm looking forward to next month's swearing in ceremony and getting...

Hello friend, I hope you've had a good week. I have some great articles, podcasts, and videos to share with you this week, I'll get straight to it! Here's your digest... ✏️ Doodle Essays This week's doodle essay was inspired by an article I read a while back. The article, written by Miski Omar, describes the overwhelm we can feel due to the "tyranny of being reachable" and how we often use responsiveness as a proxy for care. My doodle encourages us to slow down and rethink this tendency. I...

Hello friend, I hope you are well. It's been a busy week—one where I have absolutely had to take my own advice about choosing what not to do. How about you? When things get hectic, I rely heavily on my well-established systems and routines, such as my daily start-up and shut-down and my weekly plan and review. They’ve proved their worth again this week—and it’s prompted me to pull together a simple guide explaining all of my systems. I will share it with you soon. Here's your digest for this...

Hello friend, Happy November. Thank you to everyone who purchased my new masterclass, Trust Your Task List. I’ve told the world (well, social media!) that the launch price ended yesterday, but—between us—I won’t have time to update the website until tomorrow. So you still have another day to grab the masterclass at this special price. If you’ve ever been curious about how I manage the various contexts, projects, and tasks in my life and want to do similar in Todoist, here’s the link you need:...

Hello friend, Happy weekend to you. Before we get into today’s digest, I wanted to share something I’ve been working on. Over the years, I’ve lost count of how many people have asked how I manage all my tasks and projects in Todoist. While Todoist offers built-in templates, they’re not the same as seeing someone walk you through their setup and explain the thinking behind it. So I’ve finally pulled everything together into a new masterclass: Trust Your Task List. It’s under an hour,...

Hello friend, I hope your week has gone well and that you have some rest planned for this weekend. I certainly benefited from last weekend’s enforced downtime. There’s something I forgot to mention in last week’s email (a sure sign that I was under the weather!). A few weeks back, I mentioned that I was thinking about moving this newsletter to Substack and introducing a paid tier. Many of you shared thoughtful feedback (thank you), and, as you know, based on that, I decided to keep things as...
