3 Things I’m Grateful for (August 13, 2021)

3 things I’m grateful for, this second week of August, 2021:

CleanShot X: This handy little app is a fantastic way to take screenshots, mark them up and then easily share them. But the killer feature for me is the ability to make gifs out of screencasts. It’s $29 (once) OR it comes with Setapp.

Nice Pens: I will generally celebrate a big launch with a new pen (or some other related hobby thing). Since mid-July I’ve launched 3 courses, so I picked up a new Leonardo Momento Zero Magico. I’m excited for this to arrive because I LOVE my first Leonardo pen.

Being Candid: It’s very rare that my candor has failed me. I generally try to be straight with people and they tend to appreciate that. It served me well a couple of times this week and I’m grateful for my parents and other influences in my life who taught me that being candid wasn’t a bad thing!

That’s it for this week! What are you grateful for? Let me know in the comments!

  • Leaving Facebook

    A few weeks ago, I posted on LinkedIn that I’m systematically deleting my social accounts. Today, Facebook was up. It’s not fully deleted yet — I added a bunch of new friends from a conference last week. But it’s on the way. I’ll be posting more here, and writing more at Streamlined Solopreneur. More on…
