💀 The internet’s DEADLIEST newsletter: Biz, Building, and Lols by Andrew

"#1 Newsletter of the Year" 🏆️ -Andy’s Wife

Good morning to everyone who remembers to cancel their free trials before they get charged

😱 ANDY REACTS

Well, well, well, it looks like the White House has finally woken up and smelled the burnt rubber. They're acknowledging Tesla? What's next, Joe Biden cruising down Pennsylvania Avenue in a Model S?

I mean, let's be real here, it's about time they recognized the impact that Tesla has had on the world. With Elon Musk at the helm, Tesla has been revolutionizing the automotive industry and paving the way for a cleaner, greener future.

But you know what's funny? I remember a time when people used to roll their eyes at the mention of Tesla. They'd be like, "Oh, you mean the car that runs on AA batteries?" And now, here we are, with the freaking White House finally giving them a shoutout.

I guess it just goes to show that you should never underestimate the power of a tech innovator with a vision. Who knows, maybe one day we'll have a tech CEO in the Oval Office. Hey, stranger things have happened!

How to overcome perfectionism ↓

7 insanely useful tips to increase your daily output:

1. Give yourself permission to create junk

Put a stickie note on your desk.

• "Ship it halfway done"

• "It'll never be perfect"

• "Stop negotiating with yourself"

Give yourself permission to create junk.

You can fix it later (rarely will you need to).

2. Set a timer for all your tasks

You're never sure if you're working hard enough or spending enough time on a task.

You always feel like you could be doing more.

Setting a timer for each task helps you to focus on that task and not get distracted.

Work smart, not hard.

3. Break up your tasks into small pieces

You don't know how to start because the task seems too daunting.

You try to avoid it altogether because you're afraid of not doing a good job.

By breaking up the task into small pieces, you make it manageable and less intimidating.

4. Do the hardest thing first

You're always procrastinating on the hardest task.

You put it off because you know it's going to be difficult.

Tackle the hard task first so you can get it over with.

Knowing that the task is done will help you relax for the rest of the day.

5. Time block your calendar

You're trying to do too many things at once.

You feel like you can't focus on one task because there's always something else that needs to be done.

Time blocking your calendar will help you focus on one task at a time.

6. The ONE big thing technique.

You try to accomplish too many things and end up feeling overwhelmed.

You feel like you're not productive because you didn't get everything done.

Choose one big thing to focus on each day.

You'll be surprised at how much you get done.

7. Batch similar tasks together.

It's hard to stay productive when you're constantly switching gears between different tasks.

You feel like you're not making any progress because you're not giving yourself enough time to focus on one task.

Batch similar tasks together.

Let's recap:

1. Give yourself permission to create junk

2. Set a timer for all your tasks.

3. Break up your tasks into small pieces.

4. Do the hardest thing first.

5. Time block your calendar.

6. The ONE big thing.

7. Batch similar tasks together.
