The S.T.U.P.I.D. Email (Friday July 15th, 2022)
(Swipe, Thought, Uplifting, Picture, Interesting, Drawing)
This is a fun email for Friday July 15th, 2022. Hope you like it 🙂
🎤 Listen to this email here:
#1.) Swipe:
When I first saw this ad, I just HAD to read the fine text to figure out what the hell a "Lobster Test" was (turns out they just put the watch on a lobster claw to see if it would come off or break) 😂
That's a clear form of getting people down the "Slippery Slope."
They brought the ad home by showcasing the watch didn't skip at all because it was "shock proof."
Gotta admit, I wouldn't have thought of this 😂
#2.) Thought:
I propose a way of getting all your work for the day done in 2 hours, called:
"The 2-Hour Work Sprint"
It's very simple: • You write your tasks on paper. • Start on #1, scratch off, go to next task. • Either share your screen, or sit next to someone.
This would be a 2 Hour Sprint that happens everyday, and would knock out: ✔ All administrative tasks ✔ Email ✔ Random tasks ✔ Writing blog posts / social media ✔ Planning and scheduling
I personally think the co-working aspect of this sprint is important. Either virtual or in-person.
As for the timing: 1 hour is too short, and 2 hours seems to be working threshold. Some people may have to practice working for 2 hours straight.
Watctchya think of this concept?
#3.) Uplifting:
This is a quick life assessment you can do in your head. Your scores will change at different times in your life.
Try it:
Rate these three areas of life from 1 to 5:
▪️ Health: Rate 1-5
▪ ️Wealth: Rate 1-5
▪ ️Love: Rate 1-5
Start improving the lowest ranking one today. That's it!
Here's some example results and the result from each:
Health: 2
Wealth: 4
Love: 4
Result: Start improving your health ASAP.
Health: 5
Wealth: 3
Love: 5
Result: Start planning out how to improve your finances to your expectations.
Health: 4
Wealth: 5
Love: 2
Result: Put more effort into family, friends, and love interests.
Rating Scale:
1: It's very bad and you want to change it immediately.
2: It's not great, and change must be made.
3: It's average. Not great, but not completely horrible.
4: It's going well, could use some slight improving.
5: It's pretty good, and you don't need a ton of improvement.
#4.) Picture:
There's a random restaurant in Austin called El Arroyo, and the famous thing about it is it's daily sign:
It's Instagram page has 600,000 followers 😳
Everyday they change their sign to something kinda funny, and they post it on Instagram:
Their food is basic Tex-Mex food, but the amount of exposure and notoriety they've got from this basic sign is amazing!
One key to the success: Consistency.
They've been changing the sign everyday since 1975!
#5.) Interesting:
Here's some questions you can poke-n-prod at your own business:
Here's 10 more:
Here's even 10 morrreee:
And even 10 moooorrreeeeee!
Today I'm working on a post with all of these, and adding examples to every single one (I'm up to 87 so far):

That page should be updated throughout the day as I write more!
#6.) Drawing:
Ok, this is kind of random, but I've always wanted to use this silly image of "The Guy Peeking Over the Wall" on something:
It's never been that great of an image. Like try to show him looking at an old ad or something.

Meh....it doesn't work that well.
But now he currently shows up as the error message I hastily made when someone tries to look at community content, but is not a member:
Hope you enjoyed these little tidbits, have a happy Friday!
