Listened to it while I was on a walk. So easy to listen to. Felt like a conversation with a friend. 🥰

Wonderful! That was what I was going for 💗

Massive fan of voice-notes (you have a beautiful voice!) and probably easier than getting into full blown podcasting mode. Personally the multi-media approach with emails - text + voice + imagery is a winner for me. I also think with the launch of Airchat people are going to crave this more.

Thanks for the feedback! I agree, it's way easier to pop the audio into the newsletter rather than trying to produce a whole podcast, and I also like that it's contextual. Good to hear that I'm on the right path! Thank you 🙏🏽

Absolutely love this!! So helpful! I really love these kinds of chats, the creative process is so interesting and I relate to not really knowing where a concept will end up and how I discover that gold nugget during the process. I'm going to listen to it again when I'm back at my desk later! Love the idea of audio, great for those multi tasking and for those don't have much time to read!! Thank you Anna!

Thanks Mel! Did you just listen to the audio or did you read the article too? I only ask because I'm thinking about having an audio segment where I just read the newsletter post (for people who prefer to listen not read) and a second audio segment which is more of the chatty deep dive (like the one from this week). Would love your thoughts as someone who likes the audio!

Yea I think thats a great idea! I often speed read things that look interesting ( I spead read yours today and then listened to audio) and try to quickly get the take away. Sunday mornings I might read things through properly with a cuppa, but with so many things coming in your inbox I know theres so much great content I miss just due to lack of time ( or attention haha) I would definitely love the audio version. I'm a huge fan of audio. I listen at bedtime, on walks, on google nest in the kitchen etc or even just at my desk whilst doing other things. I feel like I can be learning and still getting other things done at the same time so yea I think it would be an awesome way to go!!

Listened while I just cooked dinner 😀 I really needed to hear this message… having never really sat and thought about the difference between prolific and productive, I now feel like pausing at the beginning of each day and asking myself “do I want to be prolific or productive today?” will be a great way to get centered and set my intention for the day. And loved the audio on your creative process, would love to hear more of those!

I haven't really seen anyone write about productive vs. prolific anywhere! It's a really interesting distinction and it's actually been quite monumental in changing the way I structure my time. Glad you enjoyed it! x
