Hola from Buenos Aires, 

You know that cozy winter cabin feeling, wearing comfy slippers chillin' by the fire with a puzzle and glass of wine?

The puzzle pieces are scattered on the table as you figure out how they fit together. Then, all of a sudden, you see the big picture and something clicks into place. "Aha!" you shout as you grab the piece and spill your wine. The missing piece was right there the whole time. You just needed to look at it from another perspective.

Well, that is this newsletter. Giving you small pieces to put together your own puzzle. All in under 3 minutes each week. (Vino not included.)

Let's boogie.

🧳 Travel Gadget

I've now been "location independent" for 6 months.

Before I left, I read all the travel blogs warning about the same biggest mistake of novice travelers... OVER packing.

So I optimized for maximum utility and minimal size.

One gadget that fits this description has been a lifesaver. It's a small retractable Ethernet Cable (and adapter) to plug directly into your modem and laptop.

It literally 10x's the internet speed at my apartment. (I was getting 29 Mbps download speed before)

Great insurance to always have in case of spotty wifi.

✏️ Writing

Over 5,000 years later and writing is still our best tool…

Yet most don't do it.

Paul Graham says 70% of ideas come after writing.

"Writing doesn't just communicate ideas; it generates them. If you're bad at writing and don't like to do it, you'll miss out on most of the ideas writing would have generated."

Similar to exercise. Never want to start, but never once regretted it once it's done.
