Why subscribe?

theslooow.co is a quarterly newsletter about work, life and play through the lens of slowing the f*ck down – with a particular emphasis on being and on doing things more intentionally. It covers:

• Books / Reads: Read about books, publications and other writing that might just change your life.

• Tools / Bits and Bobs: Nab tools for more intentional productivity in your own life.

• People / Places: Get introduced to new people and the inspiring things they’re doing. Learn about new places you might not have been to before.

• Stuff to Ponder on: Like a thought of the day, week, month or quarter.

I’ll also sometimes cover AI topics. Because whether we like it or not; whether we use it or not, it’s changing lives and society at large. Expect musings and thoughts on all things AI.

There’ll also be an occasional design or product rec – not sponsored and only of things I like, have wishlisted or think is worthy of note.

How often do you publish?

At the moment, I publish one public post a quarter.

What can I expect from a post?

Posts will typically read like short-form diary entries though sometimes they’ll be a bit longer.

Who are you?

I’m Jen, entrepreneur, educator and creator. I started my career as an interpreter, translator and educator, later transitioning to editing, copy writing and language and communications training for founders, academics and executives.

I’m also a screen printer who makes neon words for walls.

I grew up in Wales and the UK, currently live in Germany and like to consider myself a cosmic citizen.
