📚 3 Good Articles for You
So You Want To Be A Writer…
by Hugh Howey (12 mins)
- To succeed as a writer, you must outwork all your competition through persistence and effort. Most aspiring authors quit too early.
- Improve your skills by reading widely across genres to absorb what makes great writing work. Then practice writing constantly through blogs, stories, etc.
- While beautiful language matters, focus first on plot and narrative. Readers want an engaging and clearly told story more than lyrical prose.

Reshaping the tree: rebuilding organizations for AI
by Ethan Mollick (7 mins)
- Employees are already independently using AI like ChatGPT in their work, showing that AI is integrating at a human scale and requiring organizational change.
- AI tools can massively accelerate processes by synthesizing information, prototyping ideas, and automating drudge work, like shortening a week-long design process to days.
- Organizations need to rapidly experiment with reshaping workflows around AI due to its exponential pace of improvement. Waiting risks falling behind the efficiency gains of early AI adopters.

Getting Things Done
by Laura Scroggs (17 mins)
- Capture everything on your mind immediately into an inbox to process later. Organize your tasks into projects and next actions. Review weekly to keep your system updated.
- Clarify tasks by turning them into concrete next steps. Schedule due dates where necessary. Sort tasks by labels like context (@home, @office) and priority (@next).
- Engage with your organized lists by using custom filters to see next actions based on current context. Select tasks based on due dates, priority tags, and areas of focus to work calmly and decisively.
