Ready to Get the Most Out of Your Time and Energy?

👋 Hey, I'm Dean Yeong

I run content and SEO at AppSumo. Here, I write and share about productivity, leadership, money, psychology, marketing, and more.

As a 2x Quora Top Writer, my work has been featured on Inc, HuffPost, Observer, and many other major publications—leading to over 30 million organic views.

But life isn't a bed of roses. I started from:

• Not knowing how to read and write in English in my early 20's
• Feeling lost after graduating from college
• Started a few businesses, failed, and got into debts

With no plan in mind (but a lot to recover from), I grabbed on to every opportunity to learn—from books, blogs, and courses—and to work with people who are smarter than I am.

Along the way, I've learned insights and strategies that help:

• Put my financial life in place
• Master my habits and behaviors
• Write and communicate well
• Think critically and make better choices
• Live a healthier and balanced life

And more.

Now that I'm doing a lot better, I'm in quest of figuring out how to make big swings while protecting my downsides.

While I'm doing that, I write a free monthly newsletter that shares things I'm exploring, learning, and building with people—hopefully, you—who want to do the same.

That's why we're here!

If you're a curious person who want to find out more about my journey (while becoming a better thinker and leader), simply enter your email below and stay tuned for my next newsletter.

While you're waiting for my email, I'll send you the system I use to plan and review my day and week. I call it the Output Journal.

In hindsight, here's what has consistently brought me results: Do the one thing in front of me and do it well.

In Will Smith's words: "You don’t set out to build a wall. You don’t say ‘I’m going to build the biggest, baddest, greatest wall that’s ever been built.’ You don’t start there. You say, ‘I’m going to lay this brick as perfectly as a brick can be laid. You do that every single day. And soon you have a wall."

With years of experimenting and tweaking, Output Journal is my answer in doing just that. And I believe it will be the same for you.

Looking forward to seeing you in your inbox.
