Taking Myself Out of the Equation 👻 - Issue #5

By Art's Newsletter • Issue #5 • View online

Hey friends 👋

Question this week: Are you moving soon or did you just move recently?

We are and it’s a bitch.

Productizing Myself

My friend and co-founder Erik used to say: “What can be automated, will be automated.”

The idea is to build scalable systems.

If you do something more than once, automate it with software.

Name of the game: Productize everything

I’ll paraphrase it by saying: “Knowledge that can be productized, should be productized.”

In short: If you communicate anything more than once, document it (publicly).

Create it once, distribute it forever.

Productizing my Introduction for #ODCC1

This week I’m joining On Deck Course Creators - a 10-week online course for people who are building online courses.

This is what an online course for online course creators looks like. The ultimate META.

One of the main benefits of this course is the network of fellow students. In this course we are ~130 people.

This means a lot of introductions. A lot of typing or copy/pasting.

To scale my time I created a public about me page for this course.

It saves time and I can reference it.
