31-day pop-up newsletter - cultivating creativity

Hi and welcome to the 31-Day Pop-Up newsletter about creativity.

This is just an introductory post - the content will start on 1st January 2022 and will contain hints, tips and stories about creativity that can help inspire your new year.

There will be a new post every day for 31 days - then poof - gone.

Below you will find the 31 day content list so you can decide whether to subscribe.

But first, why a pop-up newsletter?

I run The Manager newsletter which is weekly and has been running for about 3 years now. It's a big commitment for both me and my readers. With a pop-up newsletter we all know there is an end in sight, a final point when it's done. There's a kind of nice relief knowing this is not a long term commitment.

The topic of creativity is one that does fit well with The Manager, but it also feels like a discrete topic that can stand on its own.

There is also a part of me that likes the rigour of a writing and publishing habit. I like the act of writing and I enjoy the feeling of sharing something with people who are interested.

Won't it be overwhelming?

Possibly. But I suggest you turn off notifications if you don't want to get pinged and bookmark the newsletter - but remember - it will only last for 31 days and then be deleted (assuming LinkedIn will let me).

Copy the posts and save them to Evernote, or Apple Notes, or something like that - then read them at your leisure - or join me each day for a nugget of inspiration as you start your New Year - the choice is yours.
