Happy Sunday,
it’s me Waldi!
I left the nice place I stayed in on Friday for work this weekend.
But this isn’t the only thing I do. I’ve published a new blog post and work on more things behind the scenes - especially for Instagram.
But, enough about me. Enjoy this week’s newsletter!
1. Q&A on Twitter
I’ve somewhat hijacked Jack Butcher’s Twitter Post “What do you need help with?” and answered many questions on there. I think the easiest way to check it out is via this link. I’m sure there’s something valuable in there for you.
2. You are an Expert on Yourself
Adding onto this, I really enjoyed this answer to a question from the same thread:
“You are an expert on yourself. Speak your truth and no one else can replicate it.”

3. Tiago Forte on How to Summarize Books
I continue to dig into Tiago Forte’s posts and took some helpful pieces of information away from his “Ultimate Guide to Summarizing Books.” Like these:
“We are living in the midst of an “Infodemic” – a term coined by the World Health Organization as “an excessive amount of information about a problem, which makes it difficult to identify a solution.” Not only in health but in all areas of life, we are drowning in far too much information for any normal person to make sense of.”
“Creating a book summary requires a surprising amount of creativity. Because the truth is, these are much more than summaries. They are actually reinterpretations.”
4. This, too, Shall Pass
Deleting old emails, I stumbled upon this line from the Daily Stoic newsletter (which I highly recommend):
“Life will abideth forever, so there is no reason to get angry or afraid or bitter. Just hang on. Do the best you can. Be your best self and play the cards you’ve been dealt.”

5. Jordan Peterson has COVID-19
It was sad to learn that, after the grueling time that Jordan Peterson went through in the past year, he has COVID-19. I hope he recovers quickly. The latest post of his daughter on Instagram indicates as much.
6. RoamStack for Roam Research
If you checked out Rom Research in my last e-mail, you should check out RoamStack as well. They put together five lessons on how to use Roam for beginners that will give you a quick start.
7. New Books to Read
I snatched a few great deals of used books last week and look forward to diving into them over the coming weeks. Here’s a selection:
Which is your favorite?
That’s it for this week! I hope you found something valuable.
Until next week!
