Work Less Wednesday: March 11

👋 Hey Reader!

This is issue #193 of Work Less Wednesday, where I share with you 5 things you should know about, in 5 minutes or less. That leaves you with 10,075 other minutes this week.

🧭 1. This Week’s Substack Post - Your Inner Compass​

Got a good one for this week!

Right now you have access to an advisor better than any coach, consultant, or therapist.

You just keep ignoring it.

​This week’s Substack post is about how to listen to your inner compass to make better business decisions.

You’ll be able to:

• Make decisions faster (and more accurately)
• Build a business more aligned with what you want
• Cultivate a higher degree of self-trust
• And yes, make a lot more money

In it, I also provide 3 tools you can use to start cultivating your inner entrepreneur, right now.

🛠️ 2. Tool I’ve Been Using Daily For Inspiration - Sublime​

This week’s Substack post was graciously sponsored by Sublime and I thought I’d share it here as well.

​Sublime is my favorite tool for creative thinking and cultivating my taste.

I use it daily (literally) to collect references, images, quotes, articles, and ideas that move me, which I can later use in my life and work.

You can see the canvas I made for this week’s Substack in Sublime:

🤖 3. Paid Workshop I’m Hosting Next Week - “How I’m Using AI In My Business”

Doing a fun workshop for my paid Substack subscribers on the 20th.

It will be about how I’m using AI in my business, right now.

This is something I’ve been getting a lot of questions about.

I’m going to break down some of the tools I’m using and how I’m using them (including my most-requested workflow, how I’m creating viral images for social media).

I have a pretty high bar for AI, so all the workflows I’m going to share are actually going to do something, not just make you feel productive.

​Sign up for the paid tier; $15 a month to get access (cancel anytime).​

P.S. For those already signed up, note the date change, it was originally scheduled for Thursday, the 19th.

🔥 4. Update On My Dante Reading Journey

A few weeks ago, I shared in WLW that I would be reading Dante's Divine Comedy.​

I found a challenge called 100 Days of Dante, which is an email course that has you go through one canto every day.

I'm pleased to say I am in the middle of Inferno right now and greatly enjoying it.

BUT…

Ultimately, I ended up discovering some better resources to help me digest the literature than 100 Days of Dante.

Here's what I'm doing now:

1. ​Columbia's Digital Dante program. It includes multiple translations, detailed notes for each canto, and a full Dante course that they teach over two semesters.
2. ​Claude. Because of the sheer volume of scholarly research on the Divine Comedy, I have found Claude to be extremely helpful in aggregating research. For each canto, I am able to get a detailed summary and interesting passages to pay attention to. It has really enriched my experience reading it. This is actual great AI use case.
3. ​Dante art. Finally, there is a huge amount of visual art that accompanies the Divine Comedy. And nearly all of it is incredible. This article from the Public Domain Review is a great place to start.
