Thoughts on my daily minimalist newsletter.
I’m anxious to see how many of the paid subscribers that Substack paid a month’s subscription for will stick around. If it works well, I may do my own version of this promotion at some point.
Also, I’m hoping to launch a referral program on Substack soon, I just need to figure out the prizes. If you have any ideas, don’t be shy.
Here are the stats for each of my newsletters.

❓ How Can I Simplify?
A weekly question for me, and you to save time, money, and/or energy.
Have you audited your phone lately?
Every week I do the following:
Remove unused apps (or ones I don’t want to use).
Remove photos, videos, and other files I don’t want to keep.
Close all apps that are running.
Check for updates on apps and OS (even if it does it automatically).
Power off the phone.
Clean the whole phone (screen, back, and case).
Minimalist Hustler Weekly is a free newsletter.
You can upgrade to get premium perks like:
Digital copies of all my books.
Access the Minimalist Hustler HQ Skool community.
50% discount on newsletter ads and newsletter reviews.
I like the idea. I can add this exercise to my weekly review session.
Auditing my phone is something I do when waiting...at a doctor's office, at a drive-thru, in a long line anywhere, etc. It's a decent use of time that would otherwise be an annoying and complete waste, lol.
