The Week of Sleep Deprivation #2

This week was great. I was busy. I like being busy because when you are busy, stupid thoughts and overthinking minor things takes a backseat. Busy me rushed to finish two books while editing a (pro bono) book for a friend. I went to Mumbai to get a lot of work sorted. I bought some new plants and will start experimenting with a root-over-rock bonsai. I talked to around ten random creatives and we came up with some trippy ideas. Then there was the meow-sum audio live with Nada on Egyptian mythology (its sequel on pyramids is happening on Monday,4:30PM IST). Will probably be sharing a Ra-is-a-cat-dad short story soon (if it is as funny on paper as it is in my head). I worked and worked and forgot to sleep. My back hurts, my eyes have gorgeous shadows under them, I have Itachi-stress-lines. I am happy!

On to LinkedIn, the nosediving reach hasn't changed. It is the content. My content is about me and not about you. I don't tap into my TAP (target-audience-persona). Don't worry, nothing is changing with the content. My hill to die on was, is and will be unfiltered creation. I would be remiss if I don't mention how some of you reached out via DMs, WhatsApp, a letter in response to my previous mopey update. It made my heart swell because I felt acknowledged; I matter ??. Thank you lovelies. I am going to be asking for your addresses soon and you will be nerd-bombed!

Let's start with my content consumption for the week. I think I slipped for the week because what does one do when they travel by a train that's shaking-it-like-a-belly-dancer. However, the details are juicy. Here goes. Sip sip:

I have decided to give full access to the Notion notes to my website's newsletter subscribers. If you haven't signed up already, do so. There's a double opt-in. If you don't opt in, you won't receive anything.

I have also been thinking of getting out of educator-retirement. I love to teach. I love to learn. I love to feed off the fascinating energy of people who are excited to learn. I obviously have loads to figure out moving forward.

For now, I have two interesting events lined up:

1. LinkedIn Video - Language learning isn't hard if you've got the secret sauce - Saturday, 19th February: Register here
2. LinkedIn Audio - Mythology chats (Pyramids) - Monday, 21st February : Will update link here when I make it.

...that about does it for the updates

Give me a follow if you like my work.

Ring my bell on LinkedIn to help me survive the nosediving reach.??
