You now have full access to Superorganizers

Good news!

Because you’re a Divinations subscriber, you now get free access to the premium edition of my friend Dan Shipper’s wonderful productivity newsletter, Superorganizers!

Normally, Superorganizers is $150 per year, but we’ve teamed up to create a bundle, and we’re grandfathering in all of our existing subscribers. (So you get it for free.)

To claim access, all you have to do is reply to this email, and tell me you want in! Once you do, I’ll add you to our new bundle publication: everything.substack.com. We’ll use that to send out a weekly digest email with everything both publications publish. (If you’d like access but don’t want the weekly email, just let me know and I can make that happen, too.)

What is Superorganizers?

The first thing to know about Superorganizers is that it’s written by Dan Shipper, who in my opinion is a genius. 

I first heard of him back in 2012. I was quite addicted to Hacker News at the time, and his essays always seemed to be perched at the top every time I visited. (They still frequently are! A few of his recent articles have gotten hundreds of upvotes.)

Superorganizers is Dan’s study of creative geniuses. Specifically, he wants to understand how they organize their lives in order to do their best work. Every week, he publishes a new interview with someone who has an incredible system.

He’s talked to some pretty famous people that you’ve probably heard of, like Seth Godin (iconic marketing author), Yancey Strickler (co-founder of Kickstarter), and Naveen Selvadurai (co-founder of Foursquare). 

But perhaps his best work comes from interviews with less-famous people that simply have incredible systems we can all learn from, like Simon Eskildsen, the director of production engineering at Shopify. He uses an obscure yet awesome technique called “zettlekasten” to help him learn and remember more from what he reads. Another great example: Marie Poulin, who runs her life on a Notion setup that is frankly awe inspiring.

What’s included in Superorganizers Premium?

(This is the stuff you now get free access to, thanks to the bundle.)

Any time Dan does an interview, he creates something useful from it that’s only for paying subscribers. For example, when Simon Eskildsen told Dan about his zettlekasten technique, Dan worked with our friend and collaborator Adam Keesling to create an in-depth guide to using zettlekasten in your life.

Another cool thing Superorganizers does is create and share templates for popular productivity software, like Notion. Remember Marie Poulin, who had the awe-inspiring Notion setup? You’ve got free access to it now.

How the bundle works

Pulling off a bundle on Substack is somewhat clunky, because it’s not technically supported yet. But we’ve hacked together a solution that we’re pretty happy with.

We created a new Substack publication at everything.substack.com that has copies of all Divinations and Superorganizers posts. Any time we create a new post, we’ll make a copy of it there, but we won’t email it out, so you won’t get duplicates.

Then, at the end of each week, we’ll send a digest email to all subscribers of everything.substack.com. It’ll link to all the posts we published that week. 

How to claim access

In order to get in, just reply to this email and say you want in. We’ll grant you a free subscription to everything.substack.com, and you’ll start receiving digest emails and will be able to access all premium content from Superorganizers! 

I hope you love it. I’m a huge fan of Dan’s work, and I think you will be too.

Thanks!
