Okay. Enough admin. It’s Sunday. It’s supposed to be a fun-day right?

So let’s have some fun. Check out this list of the worst pitches journalists have ever sent. The third from Nathan Ma is my fave. Great reminder not to take yourself too seriously (and to ABP - always be pitching!!)

One final note, before you feast on the opps.

Last week I has a lot of higher-paid opps for more experience writers. This time there’s a bunch for early career and newer writers (and some fellowships too!). Look out for the milk bottle 🍼 for early career jobs.

That’s because I love you all, equally 😊.. except for you (you know who you are 😉)

1️⃣ Resource of the week

Productivity tips from this free newsletter

After last week's resources some of you wanted more newsletter recommendations. Plus I love sharing free these free resources with actionable tips.

I reached out to Steve, who writes these awesome tips in ProductiveGrowth

One of my faves is this framework for weekly reviews. I work on multiple things (main job, side projects, this newsletter) so I found it super useful,esp if you're working with multiple clients!

Steve's mission is help you get to the next level through the 3Ps: productivity, personal development & process building. Also, it's free! Check it out
