Sunday Brief - Issue #6

Hey,

Welcome back to Sunday Brief, this is issue 6 of my weekly email newsletter for creative professionals where I share my thoughts, inspiration, life lessons and interesting reads from that week.

This week marks the start of one of the largest national holidays here in Cambodia - Water Festival! So I’m taking the time to recharge, reset, refine and goal set for the coming month.

I also got around to redesigning and developing my new personal website, so make sure to check it out if you want! It’s still a V1, but keeping it as minimal as possible this time 😀

So I thought it would be fitting to revisit one of the simplest forms of staying productive and that is goal setting.

I think it was in The 4 Hour Work Week, Tim Ferris calls goal setting a dreamline but it’s essentially just a fancy way of defining goals by framing them with a cost attached to them to make them feel more tangible. For more info you can check out the blog post over on the Tim Ferris blog.

For me, I use Notion to plan out my Roadmap, but don’t underestimate the untapped potential of something as simple as once a month, once a week, once a day setting some goals in a tangible way. For more details on how I set my goals up in Notion you read one of my very first blog posts and YouTube videos.
