Episode notes
Protect Time For Deep Creative Work
- Prioritize work that preserves your freedom to do deep creative work like writing.
- Build income streams (royalties, speaking, products, real estate) that don't force you into high-overhead management.
Audience Ownership Enables Better Products
- Owning a direct relationship with readers lets you sell meaningful, brand-aligned products.
- Daily Stoic turned an email list into a products business that publishers would normally license out.
Block Mornings For Deep Focus
- Schedule large uninterrupted blocks for creative work and front-load them in the day.
- Avoid scattering meetings across the day because short breaks fragment deep thinking.
