Hey friends, Maxime here

As a follow up from last week's theme being automation for me, this week is about hubs and controls. After last week's integration of my newsletter into Feedly so I can control when I read them, and as a central hub, I did the same with my other service notification. All my notifications (calendar, forums, discord, etc.) now go into Station where I get an on/off button, and a feed to catch up after a do no disturb session. There's something beautiful about knowing that all the things will be waiting there for you when you come back to it.

P.S. Don’t forget you can always write back if you got anything to tell me

Quotes/Ideas 💡

1. Automation will make creativity more valuable
2. Your future is the average of the 5 projects you're working on
3. "So many things happen as soon as I'm trying to write this book" is just a framing based on a project. It doesn't happen because of writing the book, life just happens and the book takes so long (years often) that life happens a lot
