Hey Reader,

I messed up.

I have nothing of substance to share in this weeks newsletter.

It’s because I put too much on my plate this past week. I tried to focus on too many things at once.

Usually I spend about 2 to 3 days writing a newsletter. But I used time to chase other opportunities and run some non-typical errands (I need a personal assistant!)

I couldn't focus and dedicate the time to write a decent message for this week.

I felt bummed about it for a moment.

But then I realized that these things happen.

Plans come up.
Opportunities come your way.
Stuff comes out of nowhere and needs your immediate attention.

It happens to the best of us.

The best way I can handle it is to not beat myself up and be fully transparent about it.

Take the unnecessary pressure off - it’s ok.

Learn from the experience and do better next time.

Maybe this helps you. Perhaps you felt some pressure lately to commit to something because you felt like you had to do it.

It could be a request from someone else,

But you just couldn’t do it because other things fell on your plate.

It’s ok to say no. Just be real to yourself and whomever you felt an obligation to. Most likely, they will understand.

I feel better just by writing this, to be honest!

Thank you for reading and understanding.

Btw…if you wanted to know what I planned to write about:

I wanted to share a serious consequence of the AI revolution that no one is talking about

I have a strong prediction that I believe is going to come true

I’m almost certain this is going to happen - but I could be wrong. I want you to tell me.

Be on the lookout for it soon!

- Aleem
