The Weekly Review - by CaraCodes | Creating Tasks Over Working On Them

The Weekly Review March 3, 2024 Creating Tasks Over Working On Them: ↓ Something I want to admit in this newsletter is that I am kind of obsessed with the idea of productivity more so than I am with actually being productive.

Just Do It - CaraCodes

The Weekly Review Oct. 22, 2023 Just Do It: ↓ Immediately giving credit to Nike and its trademarked slogan before legal comes after me. Now that's out of the way, here is my first post: 3 years-ish ago I read "Shoe Dog", it’s a memoir written by Phil Knight, the founder of Nike. It was a transformative book for me. As an Entrepreneur, its easy to constantly see failure staring you in the face. You’re meant to fail. Most people either refuse to (aka they give up before they do), they fail and...
