My Daily Journal Entry For December 22nd, 2022
Morning Routine, General Diary, Thoughts, and Ideas
Got up relatively late and completed my morning routine.
Today is day 29 post bone marrow transplant for my son, all is still good! 🤞.
My wife and I are crawling up the walls having to isolate ourselves while the rest of the world post covid are not, so last night we decided to walk to a local wine bar. The bar was quite busy so we sat outside in the cold, in our coats, and had a few drinks. Turned out to be quite an enjoyable night, was great to get out of the house. I felt a little rough today though.
Due to the beer and wine last night we needed to feed our hangover, so we did a trip to McDonald’s drive-through, which always seems like a great idea until you’ve actually finished the meal and feel like crap afterward. So today’s picture is an AI-generated big burger to depict all the Mcdonald’s crap I ate for lunch!
Played racketball in the evening, and my fitness is slowly coming back as I beat the friend that beat me last week.

My Learnings Today
- payment system
- Part of this was covered in previous journal entries
- email automation
- Part of this was also included in previous journal entries.
- Set up emails for various user interactions and inactivity, for example not using the product for a certain amount of time. Maybe send a coupon or ideas on how to use certain features. Trigger emails need to offer solutions.
- Create use cases for emails that customers should get immediately after sign-up. Ask for the email on sign-up. Get further information in the second step. So you can still contact them if they abandon the sign-up.
- Popular email offerings are SendGrid, MailChimp, and Active Kit. They all cover transactional and marketing emails.
- When developing your blog think of ways to gather your visitor’s emails for future email marketing.
- You need to create the email sequence that guides them through the setup process.
- customer messaging platform.
