Good news for North Wales


Hi fellow PM!

Sign up for one of the training apps (e.g. Apple Fitness+, Freelytics or similar) that offers shorter training sessions (10-20mins) that you can do with a simple floor mat.

Do it during lunch break before you have food.

Get it all set up so there's no effort to starting and try to make it part of your daily routine.


I would say that the social benefits of leaving the house to go to a gym, even if you talk to nobody throughout the visit, outweigh trying to solve the problem in the place where you already live and work.


I'd say that we shouldn't disregard easier targets. In the UK we have this "five a day" campaign, to eat 5 unique pieces of fruit or veg a day. If someone said they were going to eat an apple every day and we said no, don't do that, it's better to eat 5 different things, you may end up with that person not eating any.

Some of us are time poor, or to flip it round, very busy. Our 24 hours can be hectic, filled with parenting and work. 10-20 minutes a day at home is easier to fit into a busy schedule than an hour to go to the gym.

Is an hour at the gym better? Yes, but 10-20 minutes a day consistent will outweigh sporadic visits to the gym.


I would agree but at least part of the issue is that Google has a poor track record within the email design community for having weird / wonky support of the standards that already exist.

If they had worked on addressing some of those shortcomings alongside the launch of Amp for email, it would have gone a long way to promoting adoption.


Went through this process with Mail Designer 365. Luckily as we only need sending access, the requirement was less arduous, but the process was not great.

After submitting it took ages to get reviewed and even when it had been processed the status wasn't entirely clear.

At the time it was made clear that using app passwords was considered a risk and users were receiving emails about it being a security risk.


Looks really nice - simple design, clear focus, looks like a great music memos replacement!


Thanks :)

We've just launched Mail Designer 2 – a Mac app that lets you design emails and newsletters that work with MailChimp, Campaign Monitor, Apple Mail etc.

Sure, most of us could build these by hand, but who really wants to mess around with Outlook 2003 background fixes?

For our launch, we're offering Mail Designer 2 for just $9.99 this week – if you send emails for your product / blog / newsletter, it'll save you a ton of time.

If you have any questions, let me know!

Cheers, Adrian
