Hello ,

This email landed in your inbox because you signed up at PSG Studio or a friend forwarded it to you. I hope you enjoy it, but if you'd like to leave, simply unsubscribe.

No, you didn't miss any newsletters. It became impossible to keep this up with all the obligations or work and life. It's switching to a monthly release schedule, sent on the second Tuesday of each month.

Normally in this section I mention a current event or problem I've needed to solve, provide one quick thing you can do yourself, and that's that.

However, in addition to changing the timing of this newsletter, I want it to be useful for you.

Can you take this quick survey for me? Thank you!

I value your feedback

Can you help me improve the newsletter by answering a few quick questions? It should take 2-3 minutes

Yes, I'll help
