The Newsletter in 2024 + Exclusive Gift Inside

Hey there, it’s Ramzi If you’re getting this you saw me on socials or downloaded one of my templates. You are 826 strong already. Thank you for sticking around while the year-end wrap took all my time, plus planning what next year’s content looks like. My thoughts are clearer. But why would you care? Now hold on till the end. To close the year, I want to give you - and myself - a final gift.

The System Club in 2024

To be honest, I started this newsletter without being clear on what I will write. It started off as the ClickUp Club. Then I thought “Who the f**k wants to receive updates about ClickUp twice a month in their inbox?” The newsletter focuses on 3 areas instead.

1. Action

In other words, productivity. Talking about productivity is talking about quality action. Productivity here means satisfaction with what you do, rather than doing a maximum of things. I’ll be sharing products, hacks, and automations discovered over the years that fit this idea of productivity.

2. Growth

Nature is designed to grow and expand. I see having a growth mindset as essential. Today looks completely different from last year. I’ll be talking about tools and ideas that drive my growth and change, hoping they can help you too.

3. Philosophy

Don’t worry, it won’t be philosophical essays on stoicism, for now. You will get my own take on what it means to seek your own truth. I will try to connect it as much as possible with tangible actions to help you through your journey. Here’s a diagram. It kinda makes sense, no? → You grow through the lessons of life. → You seek your new truth. → You act upon it. If you want to stick around, you’ll get an email to grow, act and reflect every 2 weeks.

Now about your Christmas gift.

I have been doing yearly reviews for the last 3 years, trying a new template each year. They all have the same problem: they’re long, very long. Last year, my yearly review took me 3 hours. They ask you to fill 30 questions. And sometimes, you fill up some bullet points because you feel obliged to. That’s quite intimidating. So this year brings a homemade framework. It distills the best from thinkers like James Clear, Tim Ferriss and Napoleon Hill into the Simple Yearly Review. It’s concise: past, present, future, with 3 bullet points for each question. It takes half an hour. The depth of the responses is what matters most. This brought gratitude, clarity, and optimism, and it can do the same for you. Here’s the link to the template. Try it out, and if you’re willing, share your thoughts back. Grab the template here
