Happy Sunday! Before diving into today's newsletter I just wanted to briefly mention that I'm open to any feedback, recommendations, tips, tricks, gifts... Well, you know what I mean. Just get in touch and now, let's have a look! 🗞️
From last week's talented content creator Nadia, this time we meet a writer and film fanatic Evangline.
🖊️ Twelfth guest
Evangeline Parry is a compulsive writer, film fanatic and wannabe ghost hunter. In school, she was the awkward, introverted girl with a stutter and a terrible haircut. But, despite these setbacks, she was also very good at English, and that was because she absolutely adored (and still adores) storytelling. Evangeline writes both screenplays and novels and started freelancing as a script reader and editor after graduating from university in 2020, right as the covid pandemic hit. The only thing she loves just as much as working on her ideas is working on other people's.

🧠 Lesson from Evangeline's episode
“I still have my best friends from university but at the same time, you are there to study. I'm not saying put all your time into studying but I think a large portion of your time should be studying, working and making the most of the fact that you're there. With all those resources, teachers and people who have so much knowledge and you want to take advantage of that.”

🎙️ Podcast updates:
Today I’d like to use this space for a little marketing opportunity. As I’ve mentioned before I started a Patreon account where people can support the podcast. I’m happy to say that the Patreon community is growing… No, I’m just kidding as no one has joined yet. But I know that it’s no surprise with still growing podcasts and little to offer. However, I want to mention this again, especially with recent Patreon cool updates! 🎁
You can join Produced By Patreon and choose from various tiers, ranging from as little as £1/moht to £30/month. There are perks and benefits included for each tier, such as shot-outs, private community and live Q&As. It’s not much I know but I will definitely add more and other lucrative rewards. Also, I’m open to any suggestions so feel free to let me know. If you wanted to support the show and can spare one coffee per month, your favourite snack (so that you’re healthier) or even a potato, I’d be grateful for any support. If you don’t want to, that’s completely fine and thanks for following the podcast and hopefully, spreading the word! 📢

💡 Idea worth sharing
Before revealing today's big idea, have a look at the following examples and think about them.
See the pattern? This phenomenon is called the Pareto Principle. It states that roughly 80% of outcomes come from 20% of causes. It's used across various industries and businesses to help determine the highest priority tasks that yield the most impact.
It comes from an Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto, who in 1896 observed that 80% of the land in Italy was owned by only 20% of people.
So if you want to improve your productivity, what are those 20% of tasks or activities to focus on for the highest benefits? Whether it's in your hobbies, relationships, career or other areas, think about it to be more effective! 💯
