Notes on thinking better, in public

I'm Pete McPherson, and this is my personal newsletter for online creators and entrepreneurs โ€” journaling, note taking, systems, automations, and the software behind all of it. Weekly-ish, written by an actual human, very few sales.

What you'll get

Journaling & note-taking

What I actually use to think on paper (and in apps), and what changed my mind recently.

Systems & automations

The workflows and tools that keep my notes, tasks, and content moving without babysitting them.

One real email, weekly-ish

Written by me, not a content calendar. No AI-generated filler, no daily drip, very few sales.

Portrait of Pete McPherson

Who's writing this?

Just me โ€” Pete McPherson. No team, no ghostwriter, no AI drafting. I write about journaling, note taking, and the systems and automations I actually use to run my creative and business life, and I send it out roughly once a week.

No spam. No sales pitches every issue โ€” I mention my own stuff rarely, and only when it's genuinely relevant. Unsubscribe in one click, any time.
