What lands in your inbox each Sunday
One short email you can read over a coffee. If I mention a tool, it's one I use, and I'll tell you if a link earns me anything. Here's what I write about:
Ways of working
How I organise my week, and the jobs I've handed off so they stop eating my time.
Productivity
Small changes to how you work that add up to more free time by the end of the week.
AI you can use today
The AI tools I use every day, what they're good at and where they still fall short.
Phone and life setups
How my phone, apps and life admin are set up so there's less for me to remember.
Who it's for
Anyone who feels there aren't enough hours in the week. I write it with founders, people who work for themselves and busy professionals in mind, because that's where I've been.
You don't need to be technical. Everything is explained in plain English, with the steps to copy it if you want to.
Who writes it
I'm Mike McDonnell. I run Glide Marketing, a marketing agency, and a software studio that builds automations and apps for businesses. I use AI agents across both to do jobs I used to do by hand.
The Growth Toolkit is where I share what's worked for me. I also make videos on the same topics on YouTube at @GrowthToolkitHQ. More about me on the about page.
