2x2: An email trick

Hello! Shawn here. And welcome to this week’s edition of the 2x2 Newsletter. This is your premier Friday email for leaders, creators, and business owners like you who want to do the important work that matters while creating and protecting your free time to enjoy life. I’m so glad you’re here. Check this out 1: [Dave Kline’s delegation playbook]( Some must-read advice and healthy reminders for leaders / managers on how to properly and consistently delegate to your team. 2: Lightweight Power Banks This is definitely on the venn-diagram of multiple nerdy things overlaping… If you’re looking for an ultralight-yet-powerful battery pack to take on your camping / hiking trips, there are a lot of options. [Nitecore is well-known]( (they make [the best headlamp I’ve ever used](), but I feel like their power banks are over-priced. Last year I bought [this compact and lightweight]( portable power bank, and it’s fantastic. It’s one-third the price of the Nitecore and only weighs half-an-ounce more. Something to think about 1: One weird trick to overcome procrastination Try this: tonight, before you go to bet, set out your clothes for tomorrow. Why? Well, there are many reasons why we procrastinate. One of those reasons is lacking a system of execution. By making the first step of a task or project easier on yourself, then you have one step one already decided. It will make it simpler to continue following through. (You can apply the night-time-outfit-trick to any other project or area of your life.) 2: How to apply “Automate, Eliminate, Delegate” to your email inbox - Automate = pre-built rules for filtering, sorting, flagging, and deleting your email. - Eliminate = unsubscribe (of course). - Delegate = using canned replies, an assistant, and/or a “smart service” to help manage your inbox. * * * — Shawn P.S.
