WORK LESS WEDNESDAY

🖥️ 1. I Just Ditched Safari For This Amazing Web Browser – Arc by The Browser Company​

I’m not the type of guy to hype up a random app I just downloaded two days ago.

But that’s exactly what I’m about to do now.

I just deleted Safari and Chrome from my computer and went all in on Arc, a new web browser.

Arc’s goal is to reimagine the browser from the ground up.

What do I love about it?

  1. The interface is designed for focused, productive browsing. The best solution for tab overload I’ve seen.
  2. Spaces for different areas of your life. I have one for personal, one for Work Less, and one for my agency RMC.
  3. The quality of life improvements are genius. Pinned tabs, easy split screen views, mini-player picture-in-picture video while browsing, and so much more.

It takes a bit of getting used to, but Arc just works better.

Want to see more? Check out some of their demos on YouTube.​

If you want to try it for yourself, you have to get on the waitlist here.

FYI – It took me 20 days to get my invite.

(No special influencer treatment for me lol.)

⛳ 2. Something New I Learned About – Hole In One Insurance

I love Twitter.

How else would I learn about something as wild as Hole In One Insurance?

Here’s how it works…

So, golf event organizers love to offer crazy prizes for a hole-in-one.

  • $1 million
  • Cars
  • Vacations

The good news?

People are really bad at getting a hole-in-one.

(The odds are 12.5k to 1.)

But every now and then, someone does it.

Without insurance, a golf club easily could go bankrupt from a poorly timed prize payout.

With hole-in-one insurance, everyone wins.

Golfers get a chance at a crazy prize.

Clubs don’t go out of business when they win it.

And the insurance company makes money.

There are around 30 hole-in-one insurance companies today.

Altogether they insure tens of thousands of hole-in-one policies per year.

The lesson?

You can turn ANYTHING into a business.

🌈 4. Get Inspired By This Email Signature – Andrea Reeves’ Email Signature

Two things I love:

  1. Only responding to emails on Friday. I check my email 2x a day. This is taking batching to another level. I’m inspired!
  2. No pressure to respond. With most emails, there is an implied urgency that once you see it, you must respond. I love this: “Please protect your time and peace, and respond when you’re back to work.”

Check out Andrea’s business here and join her newsletter here.

And keep sending me replies. 😄

⏰ 5. Why 9-5 Just Doesn’t Make Sense – Tweet By George Mack

Some people work best in the morning.

Some people work best at night.

People should work when they get their best work done.

That’s why I believe asynchronous work is the future.

My team works async at my agency and Work Less LLC.

Speaking of which…

Are you a solopreneur who wants to learn how to implement async work with:

  • Your team,
  • Your freelancers,
  • And even your clients?

Hop on the waitlist for How To Work Less Cohort 3, launching in January.

I’ll teach you exactly how to do it.
