I’ve been focusing a lot on actually finishing ideas lately but I haven’t really thought about what happens around that. The idea of stacking by creating, then sharing, then presenting it in a way that stands out, feels like the next step. It makes the process feel less isolated. Like the work can actually build into something instead of just existing on its own. Thank you Idris Elijah for sharing this when I needed to see it and enjoy your weekend!

This is a great! It is the next step. But think of the create, share, and present like one creative cycle among many. You’ll constantly be shifting into each phase over time. Growing and improving as you go. So good! Thank you for sharing. Hope you’re having a great weekend!! 🤗🤗🤗

I’ve always thought of painting as its own lane but this made me realize how much stronger it becomes when paired with other skills. Even just documenting my process or explaining what I’m learning has started to change how I see my own work. It forces more clarity. And creatively I’m more intentional about how I present things, not just what I make. It’s interesting to think that the work doesn’t have to live in isolation. Another thoughtful and valuable read Idris Elijah, Happy Friday to you!!

I spend way too much time creating in isolation in the past. It doesn’t get you very far. You realize that. Which is brilliant. Thank you for having and hope you had a great weekend! 🤩🤩🤩

The reps, slowing down and building early all make more sense when you look at it through this lens of stacking. I’ve been so focused on learning things individually that I haven’t really thought about how they connect. The idea of becoming “dangerous across a few” instead of waiting to master one thing actually feels more aligned with how I want to move. It’s less about picking the perfect path and more about building something that works together. I’m going to use these ideas as I build the framework for writing my ebook. Thank you Idris for this valuable series of newsletters and Happy Friday!

I like how this can apply even outside of something like coding or writing. With my daughter, it’s not just about learning the steps anymore. We’ve started recording little videos, talking about what we’re learning and even sharing it with family. It makes it more fun and more meaningful. It’s like we’re not just practicing, we’re creating something together. I got a lot out of this one Idris Elijah, Happy Friday to you!

Oh wow! Thats incredible!! You’re no longer just practicing, but you’re producing content and sharing it. I’m impressed!! Hope you’re both have a great weekend! 🤩🤗🤩

What stands out here is the idea that leverage comes from intersection, not isolation. Writing alone builds clarity but paired with something else, it becomes a multiplier. I’ve started to see my own work differently in that sense. Not just as standalone pieces but as part of a larger system. That shift makes the process feel more intentional and less fragmented. Thank you Idris Elijah for continuing to build on what I learned in the ebook and have a great weekend!

System thinking is virtual to success. Being intentional and less fragmented is it’s our choices really is just as important. Love what you shared here, and you are most welcome! Hope you’re weekend as been wonderful!! 🤗🤗🤗
