🧠+ 😄 - Chris J Wilson Issue #1.5
I hope you don’t mind me moving the newsletter over to Revue. I saw Greg Morris using Revue and got jealous. The ability to quickly add links from different sources was really appealing to me.
I’m not sure how this experiment will turn out but I’m kind of hoping for something like Austin Kleon or Greg’s newsletters.

I’d love to know what you like and any suggestions you have.

Things I made
Actually Listening, Not Waiting to Speak
I’ve recently become aware of how powerful listening is and how terrible I am at it. It’s shocking the number of times when I ”listen” but am really just waiting to speak…
7 Likes, 5 Comments - Chris Wilson - Sketchnoter (@sketchnotr) on Instagram: “Had a bit of fun playing with procreate and making a simple sled-portrait.”
In general, I believe iOS users tend to prefer out of the box solutions. It’s the whole model of Apple pricing and technology (certainly in contrast with android which favours customisation, even if it is become more standardised)….
A Commonplace (book/blog) :: Chris J Wilson —
This one is almost a year old, but I was reminded of it this week. A blog as a commonplace book.
Till next week
I hope you have a great start to June. For me, this marks almost a year at my current job and a year on from leaving teaching. Time to reflect, celebrate and be thankful.
Speaking of which, I’m thankful you subscribed.
