The 4-hour work week revolution, storytelling and design, google but for your personal life
Issue 04
Hello Folks, writing this newsletter has helped me immensely to reflect on what I am doing every day, read more (as I'm curating content here), and made me more accountable in general. It's been three weeks of consistent newsletter writing, I would like to continue this forever.
Right now, it's content curation but eventually, I would like to write long-form essays. As, my partner, Rajeshwari says "one day at a time" ✌️ .
This week brought a lot of good news, firstly launched the beta version of our app to a few users, and got flooded with feedback. We are buidling the world's simplest and most accessible calorie tracker, want access? Comment below.
Secondly delighted to share, Bobo, our beloved rescued kitten has finally found a home 💛 It's been a long journey of over 6 months, but in the end, I would say it was all worth it. Thanks so much to everyone for helping out.

📖 Curated reads for you
The great contemplation
Paul Millard wrote a detailed essay on his reflections on the impact of the '4-Hour Workweek' 15 years later. Paul has been tinkering with his life and how we define our relationship to ‘work’. Ferriss offered a powerful alternative script that inspired millions around the world to escape the default path, travel the world, take mini-retirements, start businesses, and take breaks from work. Highly recommend this essay.
