2 HOUR BUILDER

Hello World! | #001

4 February 2024 | 2 min

Here we go. I'm writing my first newsletter edition to exact one subscriber: myself. Why? Because action is better than thinking. I tend to overthink things and never start. But not anymore.

So this is the first issue of the 2 Hour Builder Newsletter.

What is this about?

Each Sunday, I'll send a 2 min summary of actionable insights into the digital side project world. I want to encourage people to build online next to their day-to-day responsibilities. Everyone is daydreaming about "one-day I'll do XYZ" ideas. Sadly, this day never comes.

This weekly newsletter should change that. My goal is to motivate and encourage you to start building now. 2 hours a day. 5 days a week. Do this for a year (=500 hours) and you are a different person.

What's the content?

Four sections:

  1. Insights into my live projects. I share how-to's (and how-not-to's!), lessons, stats and updates on the things I'm working on. I mostly do one idea a quarter.
  2. Summary of new content: I'm adding new content to the website every week and will share the highlights here.
  3. Curated content I stumble upon during the week. Can be anything from tweets to ancient books.
  4. Life lessons from a dad running this thing in parallel to a busy life of 9-5 work, raising 2 little sweethearts and keeping my wife happy :)

The Goal

Focus on the controllables: Publishing 100 editions.

This is it for today. Now do yourself a favor and start building.
