00. i_am_starting_this_again

.

Seven years.

Thousands of emails written.

Hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions, sent.

In the last year, I’ve let it all slide.

365 days - 0 emails.

I have reasons.

Excuses.

Well rehearsed lies!

However I justify it, the fact remains, this last year I’ve published less than ever. It’s time to put an end to that.

I am starting again.

Back to 00.

But, I’m going to learn from my mistakes.

Timing.

Frequency.

Consistency.

Length.

Format.

Style.

I’m not going to make these promises.

I’ve proven I can’t keep them.

But, I will make this one.

When an email from me does arrive, it will be valuable, interesting and worth your time.

And if I can't keep that promise, you can unsubscribe. That is only fair.

I’m writing this. 01 now.

It’s about speed.

And just like dinner, “it will be ready when it’s ready”.
