Hey 👋
Prado here. How are you doing this week?
3 Things I thought worth sharing with y’all
1. Why do I write a newsletter every Friday?
I started writing this newsletter over two years ago 🔥
The idea and the goal behind it are still the same since I started it.
Main Goal:
Write something I want my people to learn (Audience’s interest),
Write something I learned (Elaboratively) &
Write something I want to document 🙌
Few Extra goals:
Direct Contact (If Twitter, YT or IG deletes my account, how will we both stay in touch) Email is one of the best 👋
Give Something (No matter how busy the week is) 0 Tweets 1 Newsletter
To Tell a Story 💯
Write Every week ✍️
Show my Work (Best things I published/created this week) 📸
Every Friday, no matter how busy the day is… I have one priority: Publish the newsletter 🎉
I have documentation of every week in the last two years and I know exactly what I learned that week.
Plus writing on a certain day, every week has got into my subconscious brain 🧠
I can’t stop thinking about what do I need to write this week and now I can’t skip the newsletter (It feels like something’s missing)
Now how can you do it?
Figure out why you want to write a newsletter (Writing, Documentation, To give value) ✍️
Decide Day, How often, Topics, Platform (I used Mailchimp before now I use Substack ‘it’s FREE’)
Make time, Make it a priority & Make it a habit 📚
It’s very easy to give up, Try not to give up 🚀
Just Start (Figure things out later) 🙌
DM your newsletter link on Twitter (I’d love to subscribe and help you out)
One last thing I do after I write my newsletter every Friday: I take the rest of the day off (Mostly it’s post 7 PM) I watch a movie or something like that ❤️
2) Few Interesting Things:
One of the reasons why fingerprint recognition became a thing (Reddit)
You get 45% more testosterone when you don’t masturbate for a week (Blog)

Question of the week:
Quick hack of the week:- Go to Takeout.google.com and download all your information. (Google has around 75GB of my information)
Reading two books at the same time - 1. Deep Work by Cal Newport & 2. Elon Musk This week’s StoryCard is from this book (Re-reading)
3. “More one night stands with Books 📚”
