I’m sorry but I have to stop now. A notification told me that there are a few new posts on Medium I have to read now:

1. 25 things about life I wish I had known 10 years ago
2. How to invest into yourself
3. 5 Books That Will Give You A Massive Advantage in Life
4. 75+ Awesome Tools for Designers
   I told you 100 fucking tools!
5. How Successful People Think Differently

Just a personal note: It’s not that I don’t like people choosing those headlines, so it’s not a personal attack. It’s the same way with those “7 ugly mothers in your area would like to whatever..” ads, there is a reason why they use that ad copy instead of “7 super hot top models in your area”. So I don’t blame you for wanting to write posts that actually attract readers. Unlike me, nobody ever reads my shit.
