Work Less Wednesday: Mar. 30

👋 Hey Reader!

This is issue #22 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. Join My FREE Live Training TODAY!

To celebrate the launch of How To Work Less, I’m teaching a FREE live training TODAY, called “How To Run A $500k Business in 15 Hours A Week.”

I’ll be holding nothing back as I break down the lessons I learned and key mistakes I made, including:

• The simple daily practice that freed up half my time immediately after beginning it.
• The one mistake about time management even the most brilliant CEOs don’t understand.
• How to identify the work that only you can do, and delegate everything else!
• How I take meetings one day a week and check emails twice a day.

🤯 2. Audiobook That’s Blowing My Mind: Made To Stick by Chip and Dan Heath​

This. book. is. so. good.

Why do some ideas thrive while others die?

And how do we improve the chances of worthy ideas?

Why do we all remember the infamous "kidney theft ring" hoax or the urban legend about razor blades in Halloween candy, but can't remember what our boss said about the company vision at the meeting last week?

That's what this book is about.

🔑 Key Takeaway:

If you argue ten points, no one will remember any, even if they're good.

To make you idea sticky, you should make it simple and strip it down to its core.

One point. One idea.

“We know that sentences are better than paragraphs. Two bullet points are better than five. Easy words are better than hard words. It’s a bandwidth issue: The more we reduce the amount of information in an idea, the stickier it will be.”

📺 3. YouTube Channel With 8K Subscribers That I Think Will Hit 1M By 2023 - Modern MBA​

I’m making a bold prediction: This channel will hit 1M subscribers by 2023.

⬇️ I came across this awesome video through the YouTube algorithm, called "How Casper Failed & Why DTC Startups Lose Money."

It tells the fascinating story of the downfall of Casper mattresses.

Casper went from turning down an offer from Target for $900 Million (just because it wasn’t A BILLION), to a failed IPO and a PE buyout for $6.90 a share.

Check it out, if they hit 1m subs, you heard it here first!

Marissa Goldberg @mar15sa The order of events you add to your calendar should be: 1. Time for yourself (Rest, health, alone space, etc) 2. Time for people you love (spouses, friends, family, etc) 3. Deep work hours 4. Meetings Yet, most people are filling their calendar in reverse. March 28th 2022 34 Retweets 196 Likes
