4000 subscribers is an amazing accomplishment Marie! I've noticed my growth slowing as well over the past few months. Which reminds me of this great perspective I got from Shaan Puri: "I don't want to be well-known, I want to be known-well". Hope that helps a bit :)

Big magic is one of my favorite books. And somehow I also have highlighted few the sentences you have had. Talking about the spreadsheet I like it but it seems out of place sometimes.

Also, I’m a bit indifferent about the spreadsheet. I think it depends on your overall direction/objective here. I think the bigger question is, do YOU like the spreadsheet? I get the feeling that maybe you’re a bit “over” it and that’s why you’re asking. Do what makes you happy, dear!

I DO like the spreadsheet, it keeps showing me from how far I've come. 😊 and I recently had a conversation in the chat with a reader who loves it, so I was curious to have an idea of the overall feeling from my readers

I love the transitions from not having any inspiration to plenty of it! I could also relate to building Legos again - anytime our kids get those out I usually join them as it's a great way to focus right along with them and not worry about anything else.

Right? It's the same with puzzling for me.

Indeed, eventually inspiration showed up 🧡 thank you Matt
