Nerdful Mind is a passion project. Practicing mindfulness has enriched my life. I use this project to learn about mindfulness, psychology, and software engineering and to share my findings with other developers.

July 3, 2020 Just got my 10th subscriber!

And I don't even recognize their email!

All subscribers until now came from friends & family. This is really exciting.

A few weeks ago I started to share tweetstorms with content from my newsletter and the latest issue linked as the last tweet.
I'm happy to see progress.

Growing a newsletter like this is slow and steady work.

My next goal is to find more watering holes/online communities that I can interact with.

June 1, 2020 Just released my 20th issue!

These were some long 20 weeks. But I learned so much. Not only about the topics of my newsletter.

I learned more about myself. For example, I like to have Saturdays as my newsletter-writing days. Starting by making the next newsletter ready-to-publish and then using this energy to draft the one after that.

Writing my Nerdful Mind issues also gave me the confidence to start my blog at menssen.tech. And I'm getting confident enough to share my work with people other than friends and family.

Issue #20 is about feeling lonely vs. being alone. Read it here: https://www.getrevue.co/profile/nerdfulmind/issues/feeling-lonely-nerdful-mind-20-241708

January 20, 2020 Published the first Nerdful Mind issue!

And so my journey begins!

I use this newsletter to learn more about mindfulness, psychology, neuroscience, and software engineering and to share my findings each week.

Over the next few weeks I want to share it with some friends and see if they're interested.

I use Revue, because it is a european offering (yay, privacy!) and because I like their editing experience for writing a curated newsletter.

Writing something for the public to read feels interesting. But I want to write like I'd write this email to a friend.
