Welcome to 2022 Look Up readers! I hope you are all well-rested after the holidays and are finding it enjoyable to get back to your daily routine.
I spent some time at the end of 2021 at a friend’s farm with my phone turned off. Spending time completely off the grid reminded me that most of my time these days is driven by “demand-pull” work and conversations - that is work driven by inbounds. One of my intentions for 2022 is to spend more time focused on projects that emerge from my own goals and desires (like this newsletter :-)).
I’m excited to bring you more quality content with the occasional rambling from yours truly.
After a few weeks away from the typewriter, there’s a ton of juicy content that I’ve been reading and listening to that I think you’ll all enjoy.
Leading with this gigathread from Sahil Bloom on what he perceives to be the “Most Powerful Ideas in Life” (click the image to read the whole thread)
That’s all from me for today; until next week!
