join me on Insta? (#333)
A couple of weeks ago, I did a poll to determine where you spend most of your time on social media. This is validating, as Alice and I prioritize content/posts on Instagram and Facebook.
That got me thinking…are you following me on Instagram? If not, I’d love to see you over there.
It’s a great way to get doses of #jesspicks through the week: goal-setting threads, juggling and productivity tips, and inspiration.
I have yet to get on Threads - are people still doing that? 🤔 But I love the fun and temporary natures of stories. Be warned: there will be memes.
On to the picks!

🎧. Listening: chemistry. Kelly Clarkson is one of my favorite voices; her latest album does not disappoint. My current fave: mine. Also really like favorite kind of high.
📚. Reading: Book of the Month. This service is excellent if you want new reads and love physical, hardcover books. Each month they curate five reads for you, and you pick one to get in the mail. Easy peasy.

Balancing Your Creator Side Hustle With A Full-Time Job
“I’ve stripped down my side hustle to running a newsletter and adding other things when I have the capacity. If I’m getting my newsletter out every week, I consider that a win.”
It was great chatting with Passionfroot (a service that lets me sell my newsletter ads/sponsorships) on growing subscribers, monetizing my newsletter, and juggling It with a full-time job.

Khe loves to surf and has built a business around this love so much that the first couple of hours of each day is surf time. He is prioritizing life first.
He schedules thinking time. This isn’t a complex concept, but how often do we plan time to think? (yes, I want to do this).
“Hustle culture” is not for everyone, which is always a refreshing perspective.
Two of my favorite $10K Questions are:
If I could only work 2 hours today, what would I work on?
What’s one decision that removes 100 decisions?
