Hey there - we just published a new essay.

Do you have a tendency to optimize things? Do you feel like if you visit a new city you need to eat at the best restaurants; if you get into a hobby you need to buy the best gear; if you play a game you need the best strategies?

Well, then this essay is for you.

Until next week,

- Carter and Jordan

p.s. we just launched a brand new version of Writing Club, the writing community we have been running since the fall. we think this version is a major improvement and invite you to check it out. 120+ people have joined so far, from founders to software engineers to artists to writers. the code “quartermile” will get you $50 off :)
