Starting tomorrow, 331 Ship 30 for 30 members will write and publish every day for 30 days.

331 shippers, 31 countries, 9,930 Atomic Essays.

Let's get to know this cohort, shall we? 🚢 👇🏼 Image
This is the fourth Ship 30 for 30 cohort.

Here's how each has evolved:

1. 55 shippers
2. 171 shippers
3. 251 shippers
4. 320 shippers

Our goal for the next one.

500 shippers 🚢📈

Sign-ups are open for the next one.

ship30for30.com
In this cohort, 69% are male and 30% are female.

This is a huge improvement from the first cohort (which was 88% male and 12% female)

This is mostly due to shippers like @PaulineRiviere, @jerinenicole, @alicellemee, @julia_saxena, and @KristinaNette who have CRUSHED it. Image
Some more numbers:

• Number of countries: 31
• Average age: 37
• Average Twitter followers: 180 ImageImageImage

• Creating a content library Image
2. What's your biggest struggle?

4. What would a successful 30 days look like for you?

We also ask:

1. Which of these best describes your writing habit?

Only 4% of members write and publish every day.

We are going to change that.

If you use it right, Twitter is the most powerful platform in the world.

But Twitter does a horrible job of showing you its advanced features.

Here are 10 of them you probably know nothing about:
The most underutilized Twitter feature: advanced search.

It blows my mind how few people know this.

Want to find someone's best tweets?

In the search bar, type:

from:dickiebush min_faves:500

Replace the handle and the number of likes as you see fit.
Another good advanced search tip:

Want to see everyone's tweets on a particular topic?

In the search bar, type:

from:dickiebush "consistency"

Again, replace the handle and keyword as you see fit.

You can filter by popularity too:

from:dickiebush "consistency" min_faves:100

Alright - time for some No-Coding in public.

The Ship 30 for 30 cohort contact info / infrastructure is a mess. Too many forms, data everywhere, and as we scale, this is something worth investing in.

Time to hack together a @zapier / @podia / @typeform / @airtable integration
Workflow I want to create:

1. Member signs up in Podia
2. Podia integrates into ConvertKit to kickoff onboarding sequence email
3. Zapier creates a new Airtable record with that person's name and date (taken from Podia)
4. ConvertKit sends Typeform survey to new user
5. On Typeform submission, Zapier looks for a record with that email in airtable

If it exists, update all of the information for that record.

If it doesn't exist (oof, will plan for this later)

Atomic Habits from @JamesClear changed my life.

In Atomic Habits, James lays out the Four Laws of Behavior Change.

1. Make it obvious
2. Make it attractive
3. Make it easy
4. Make it satisfying

Here's how to leverage them to build a daily writing habit (🧵✍🏼):
Habits are made up of a four-part feedback loop:

1. Cue
2. Craving
3. Response
4. Reward

Building a habit means intentionally designing each part of this feedback loop.

1. Make it obvious
2. Make it attractive
3. Make it easy
4. Make it satisfying

Before you start to build a writing habit, it's important to understand the real goal.

Your goal isn't to start writing.

Your goal is to become a writer.

Why the subtle difference?

Because behavior change is identity change.

One struggle every writer faces:

Distractions.

Between you and your best writing stands a never-ending stream:

• Notifications
• Shiny-objects
• Genius engineers
• Buzzfeed clickbait

Here's a thread on how to overcome them 🧵👇🏼
Beating distractions comes down to one thing:

Environment design.

Relying on willpower is a recipe for failure.

Amateurs try to overcome distractions.

Professionals make it impossible to get distracted.
The three biggest sources of distraction:

• Your phone
• The internet
• The outside world

But instead of resisting them, eliminate them!

• Put your phone in another room
• Use the Cold Turkey app blocker
• Invest in quality headphones
