Hi Reader, You may have signed up to Incantations recently or a while ago. If you need a reminder it was on [SIGNUP_DATE GOES HERE]. Either way, thank you. Things have been very quiet here for a long time (almost 2 years) — life got a bit chaotic — but I’m finally bringing the newsletter back. If you're still here, I really appreciate your patience. 🧙 What is Incantations now?It’s a behind-the-scenes look at what I’m working on, thinking about, and building — across creativity, tech, and making things that (hopefully) matter. You can expect: This isn’t a niche newsletter. It’s a thread through everything I make and explore — a way of thinking out loud and sharing the journey. I'll be launching 2 newsletters soon (in addition to running this one), one focused on automation and AI workflows explicitly and another on 3D print farming to give you a taste of what's coming. I'll also cover how I got to this point. You can think of this as a newsletter behind newsletters too. I've set up and sent out thousands of email newsletters to millions of people over the hiatus but on behalf of others so it's time to come back and do it for myself and share what I've learned. I’ll be back in your inbox soon with more — a bit of context, a bit of backstory, and a clearer picture of where things are going next. 💌 Not your thing anymore?That’s totally fine. Just click here to unsubscribe — no drama, no guilt, no dark magic. If you want to see what's next then there's nothing you need to do, you'll stay subscribed. Thanks again for being here. – Andrew |

For years I’ve been fascinated by typing speed. I’ve used every shortcut, text replacement, and expansion trick imaginable to squeeze a few more words per minute out of my fingers. But at some point, I realised that no matter how fast I type, I can’t type as fast as I can think. Recently, I’ve been using Wispr Flow on both my Mac and iPhone, and it’s quietly changed how I capture ideas. Instead of forcing thoughts through my keyboard, I just… talk. It’s brilliant for rough ideas, notes to...
Why Automate (and Why I Call It Wizardry) When I first started automating my own work, it wasn’t about saving time. It was about something simpler: it felt like magic. I’d click a button or say a command, and suddenly files moved, notes synced, emails sent, tasks appeared— all without me lifting another finger. It was as if I’d whispered an incantation and the world moved on its own. That’s still why I do this. Automation isn’t just efficiency. It’s techno-magic—real-world spells you design...
Hey there, I want to make progress but I feel like I'm getting in my own way a lot, the following is going to seem like a lot of procrastinating and in a way it is. I think the difference this time is that I'm sharing it all and I can see the value longer term and that's what I'm thinking of now, things that will sustain and help me longer term, especially with income and security.
