Hey there — happy Saturday! 😄
Welcome to The Weekend Whirlwind. As a reminder, TWW is a quick weekend email with a few thoughts or articles or tips to help you out. Or just stuff to share, which may not even be business related. Short, sweet, and to the point. 😉
THINGS FOR THIS WEEKEND’S WHIRLWIND:
THING 0 — Before we jump in to the regular Things, I first have to say: I’m celebrating two years of The Weekend Whirlwind! 🥳🎉🍾 This is issue 104, that’s 104 straight Saturdays — two years! — of sending this particular newsletter.
Before I started this one, I was pretty sporadic about sending emails, never could seem to get on a regular schedule. So I thought maybe sending one simple newsletter on the same day every week, with a little helpful info, would be doable, and then I could fit in other emails as I could. And The Weekend Whirlwind was born. And it’s become my most consistently read email, week-in and week-out.
Then, a year later, I started another consistent, simple weekly newsletter on Wednesdays, The Midweek Memo. That one turns one year old next week. So you’ll see another celebration then. 😊 The third consistent (though not quite as simple) weekly newsletter, Monday Mischief, came about a couple of months after that, so it’ll turn one year old in a few weeks.
I appreciate the support and feedback and readership. I appreciate you. 😘 And now on to the show…
THING 1 — Helpful link: An interesting way to drill down on productivity issues in this article.
THING 2 — Random fun fact: The line “Born and raised in South Detroit” in Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin” makes no sense, as there is no South Detroit. Lead singer Steve Perry admitted he tried “east,” “west,” and “north,” but “south” fit the melody best. He later discovered that the area south of Detroit is actually Windsor, Ontario, Canada, but kept the line because of its emotional, poetic feel.
THING 3 — TWW Quick Tip: Choose one thing you’ll accomplish today that will move you closer to your goals. Big progress starts with small steps.
THING(S) 4:
~ Partner Freebie of the week: from Jan at Simple Happiness Biz, get her How to Sell Spreadsheets.
~ Partner Deal of the week: from Francis Ochoco, get his The 15-Minute PLR Rebrand for just over $9.
~ My Flash Sale for the weekend: get all my Digital Papers for 30% off through Monday night.
THING 5 — TWW Wisdom: Don’t save up the good stuff (fancy wine, or china) for that rare occasion that will never happen; instead use them whenever you can.
That’s it for this time — let me know what you think, and have a great weekend! 😎
