Happy Thursday fellow Roamans,
I don’t often send out emails outside of the bi-monthly schedule but I wanted to see what you were up to this weekend.
Do you want to hang out this Saturday?
Jason Griffing and I will be doing a YouTube livestream Roam Sessions on Maximising Output in Roam.
We’ll be live at 2pm UTC, 10am ET. That’s 3pm here in the UK. (Check out when it is in your timezone)
I’ll be discussing and demonstrating my Roam writing workflows. I'll be pulling back the curtain and show you how I go about creating Letters from a Roaman and how I turn my notes into articles and essays.
Come along and say hi and bring your burning questions about writing in Roam. If you can’t make it, send me your question by replying to this email and I’ll try to answer them. You’ll be able to catch up with the replay later.
Hope to see you on Saturday
Andy

This technique is a great psychological way to hack your brain when...
Hello Reader, What do you do when you sit down to plan something out? If you’re anything like me from 5 years or so ago, perhaps it looks something like this: I sit down, pen and paper in hand, and computer at the ready. I get myself a fresh coffee and start thinking about the project or goal I need to work on. I stare into space and ponder the sorts of things that could be done. After about 5 minutes or so of staring, one of two things would happen. 1.I decide I don’t have enough...
Hello Reader, According to Max Lugavere, author of Genius Foods, sitting for an extended period will literally cause blood to drain from your brain, which can impair your cognitive function. As I've touched on over the last few emails, I highlighted the danger of us being active and sedentary. Active movement throughout the day is better for our health and well-being than only exercising once for 30 minutes and then generally sitting still for the rest of the day. Let's wrap up our discussion...
