It’s actually so lovely to see an ‘influencer’ with a normal job and going through the exact same application and rejection and success that their viewers go through- it’s such relatable and inspiring content to see!

Notion is pretty great and pretty easy to get into but for private use I think it's better to look for alternatives (like "Obsidian") because it doesn't come with security for your data and it's only online, so when Notion crashes, which it did a couple of weeks ago, or when you don't have Internet on your phone/PC all of your stuff is unavailable

This is so interesting! Can you talk a bit about how you went about getting your job! I'm a graduating English Literature student this year, and I so badly want to go into publishing. Thank you!

fan theory: jack edwards is researching for ali abdaal’s productivity book

Holy craperoni you're so productive! You do your work, you read books, you experiment with furnishing in your room, you play video games, you actually COOK food and test new recipes, and you film and presumably edit youtube videos, and you do puzzles... Meanwhile I can barely get up in the morning lmao. Really insightful video and honestly, a motivating video!

Got rejected for my Masters today and honestly Jack's channel is such a comfort right now. (I hope this doesn't sound bad, honestly not my intention!) Edit: thank you everyone for your kind comments. I got waitlisted for another school and I’m hopeful that I might be accepted to that one instead! Sending positive vibes to everyone.
