Your Majesty — 10 things
Aug 11th · Issue #287

Hey ,

As we put this together 10 Things this week, the office is quiet as team members are in and out with various vacations but we've finally had some sun this week - hurrah! 

Really great mix of articles in this issue, from "how to log off" and a lazy guide to getting into gardening (perfect for these summer days) to dressing for success. Plus a killer email strategy we can all learn from and the usual dose of cool tech and AI. 

Enjoy your weekend, 

⚔️ Your Majesty
