Saturday Morning Cartoons #35
Movie? Pass.
Good morning, fam!
Hope you all had a good workweek.
Apparently that furry little turd saw his shadow, which means we’re all in for six more weeks of winter. Rude.
While I look up cheap flights to somewhere a little warmer (Miami anyone?), feel free to check out this week’s recs.
Turn on that extra heater, wrap yourself in your biggest comforter, and let’s get into it.
Here’s what I have for you this morning:
I read The Practice by Seth Godin and it couldn’t be better timing. It’s all about shipping creative work (which you’re currently reading) and focusing on the process instead of the outcome. Always a nice reminder :)
By this point, I’ve already plugged The Last of Us (the game and the show) a bunch of times in this newsletter, but if you haven’t seen episode three, my God, it will make you full on ugly cry. Some of the best TV we’ve gotten in a while.
Remember MoviePass? If not, imagine paying $10 a month to see as many movies as you want. Sound to good to be true? It was. They blew through millions of dollars, went bankrupt, and made it super hard to cancel their service. They’re back with a more grown-up business model and ready to win you back.
Do you find yourself constantly overworking week after week? Here’s an argument for prioritizing rest over work.
The co-founders of Instagram are back with their newest app and it’s a personalized news app called Artifact that uses AI. It’s being called the “TikTok of text.”
If you’re like me, then Barnes & Noble is also your happy place where you can easily waste half a day perusing hundreds of books that you (sometimes) end up getting cheaper on Amazon. Speaking of which, if you’ve ever wondered how the hell Barnes & Noble made it through the Amazon onslaught, this might help.
Do you have a tough time balancing multiple creative projects at once? Here’s a little advice on how to organize all the chaos.
As kids, we think grown-ups have everything figured out. Spoiler alert: adults are just grown up kids. Nowhere is this more obvious than in Corporate America.
What are your thoughts on fully-remote jobs?
Check out my new favorite Twitter account where a designer shares fictional product ideas/updates every day.
You made it to the end! As a bonus, I’ll leave you with this.
Cheers,
Billy
