Get ready for Invested Learner 2.0!
The details on what's happening moving forward inside
Hey there!
It’s been a while since I put an indefinite pause on sending out newsletters and I just want to let you know THAT I’M BACK!
I started Invested Learner as a way to curate and share articles about productivity and personal growth with people who are interested in self-improvement and lifelong learning.
I enjoyed it a lot but I treated it as a hobby, an outlet for me to be more mindful about my content diet while honing my thinking through writing.
There will be some changes when I re-launch the newsletter.
2 key things moving forward
🗝 The central theme of the newsletter will shift from lifelong learning to lifelong play.
There is so much to talk about the importance of play - for children most especially.
But the specific details on the hows and whats become vague for grown-ups, especially when it comes to applying it at work.
We know it’s tied to creativity and innovation, but in application, we barely scratch the surface.
The goal of the newsletter is to unpack concepts of play and see how it can be used as a strategy in our everyday lives beyond hobbies and leisure.
Imagine being equipped and confident to use play as a tool to improve systems, promote sustainability practices, become a better partner, or even diffuse conflicts.
Now, that’s a dream I have for you and my other future readers! I even drafted a manifesto.
🗝 The newsletter will become a channel for different streams of income.
This means I will be more committed to making this newsletter as valuable as possible for readers.
While it’s free to subscribe, I’ll be transparent about earning from commissions and sponsorships from brands whose values and beliefs are aligned with mine.
It will also serve as a venue to offer my products and services related to the theme.
Given these, here’s what you can expect
I’ll start sending out newsletters every Wednesday starting 🗓July 31.
I’m moving to a different email service provider so you might notice some differences. If you wish to continue with your subscription, you don’t have to do anything.
I’m developing a database of different types of play to share as a thank you gift for subscribers who successfully invite another person to subscribe. Here’s a sneak peek.
I hope you’ll find the future issues interesting and relevant to you.
Can you also do me a small favor? Can you reply and answer the question: “If I were to dedicate a newsletter issue about PLAY to you, what do you want it to be about?”
Or just reply with your favorite emoji to let me know you’ve read this. Either way, I’ll reply!
Thanks for reading and I hope to see you in the next chapter! 🎉
