Clief Notes Is Changing: Today's Prices End Sunday
Hey everyone!! Jake and I are rebuilding Clief Notes around Edubaware, Eduba's own platform. We're aiming to launch it between 10 December and 1 January, and if that date moves, you'll hear it here first. Clief Notes stays free to join, and always will. Here's everything else that changes, starting with the part that has a deadline. ⏰ Lock in today's prices by Sunday 15 November ⏰ Right now Premium is $11 a month and VIP is $97. Join by 11:59 pm EST on Sunday 15 November and you keep that rate for as long as you stay subscribed. After that, new members pay $14.95 for Premium and $499 for VIP . If you already pay $11 or $97, your rate doesn't change. 💰 $1,000 of Edubaware credit 💰 Every Premium member on Clief Notes through 9 December gets $1,000 of Edubaware credit at launch. Every VIP gets $5,000. It's paid in full on day one, and members on the $11 rate and lifetime VIPs get it too. Join Premium by Sunday and that's $1,000 of credit for an $11 month. Anyone who joins after 9 December doesn't get it. Premium and VIP also get founders pricing on Edubaware: 50% off your first year and 25% off your second, for as long as you stay subscribed. VIPs get 50% off for both years. 🚀 Early access, over the next few weeks 🚀 Premium and VIP members get into Edubaware before launch. We'll be onboarding people over the next few weeks, not all at once, so David and Kay can set each of you up and check in once you're in. If your invite arrives later than a friend's, that's why. Every Premium and VIP member gets one. Every Tuesday, David or Kay posts an Edubaware update here. ⭐ What Premium gets ⭐ Everything new lands in Premium first: - A build tutorial from Jake every month, one full build from start to finish - Ask Jake: post your question in the monthly thread and Jake answers the most-liked ones on video. The first thread opens Monday 16 November. - Master sessions, run live here by the Masters of ICM - The Masters' drop: a new template, workflow or walkthrough from every Master, every

@Jeff Van Leenen I will be interesting seeing what you show😊 and congratulations on becoming a master😎
Jake commented on my YouTube video!!!
You know you are working on the right thing when @Jake Van Clief comments this on you video! The showcases series shows my latest build and what I will be demoing to the Lyceum. It is a full CRM and Project Management System (PMS) build using my Automation Factory and that lives 100% in Microsoft's eco system. You can try the full build here: https://ashy-flower-0f920ed0f.4.azurestaticapps.net/?guide=on It is a demo that mimics what the real build does. See the full showcase playlist here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbHpE15i41yc&si=Juq3iGImNspaDHQs

@Shannon Howard thanks That is so true and someone has to lean into it! If you look into my previous post you will see I have created the automation factory - a system that goes in and creates everything within Microsofts eco system. And that factory has the ICM structure

@Pascal Pollack thank you for you feedback. I really appreciate it and I will improve the build.
The night the AI got cut off: how the work carried on (Behind the behind, episode 4)
Behind the behind, episode 4: The night the AI got cut off The fourth episode of the mini-series about what I learned building Behind the paper plane, made by the same workspace. 4 minutes 41 seconds. Watch it: https://youtu.be/RpSAC11pX7M Episode 3, Ghosts in the machine: https://youtu.be/aOPweB4hEuI Episode 2, The AI checks its own art: https://youtu.be/Bnm71iXm8QA Episode 1, Thirteen messages: https://youtu.be/C2POk9nGRxE Behind the paper plane: https://youtu.be/fXEyIoVjOeM THE IDEA An AI session can stop at any moment, and a new one remembers nothing. Not the night, not the plan, not one word I wrote. Everything it knows, it reads. So the build carried on for one reason: everything it needed was written down in files. The build's log, the review log and the saved steps. THE NIGHT - At 23:59 I asked what happens if the AI runs out of usage while I sleep: "do you just stop and wait for me to start you again or do you start your self?" The answer: it stops, and it cannot start itself again. - It could set a timer and check on the build every hour. I asked how a check would carry on the work. - Each check reads three things: the build's log, where every step is written down; the review log, where every decision is; and the last saved steps. Then it finds the next unfinished step in the plan and goes on. - I said yes, asked for every 30 minutes, and went to bed. - The timer rang 11 times through the night, and the helpers kept building. Just after five, the film's first part was finished. - At 05:49 the usage ran out, in the middle of the work. 63 steps had been saved since my last message. 4 pieces had not: 2 scenes for the second part, half written, and 2 new styles for the fourth, one nearly done and one barely begun. They were on the disk, and nowhere else. - The timer rang at 06:13, 06:43, 07:13 and 07:43. The only answer each time: limit reached, back at ten to eight. It rang inside the same session that had run out. It could knock. It could not open the door.
My short film - Paper Plane
Hi everyone! I had to share my latest project. I am so proud of it and hope you enjoy it! Thanks to @Jake Van Clief and his crew for creating the community. I feel like nothing is impossible to create. I had Claude code write the next part: I gave Claude one sentence. Two days later it was a 9.5 minute animated film. My idea was one line: "a child's room where different art styles are used." What came out is "The paper plane": a 9 minute 31 second animated film with 25 art styles, 8 narrator voices and an original soundtrack. Not one image or video generator was used. Every frame is drawn in code. Here is how it came together, and why ICM is the reason it worked. THE IDEA I had a folder of 84 reference art styles (sumi-e ink, claymation, film noir, Win95, synthwave and so on) and one picture in my head: a child's room where every object is a door into another style. The camera dives into the TV and you are inside a video game. The poster on the wall turns out to be a whole world. One style draws an arcade machine, and inside it the next style is already playing. THE BRAINSTORM Claude ran a structured brainstorm with me (the superpowers brainstorming skill): one question at a time, and a quick mockup of the room so I could see the camera route. Out of that came four "hand-off moves" that join one style to the next: - Dive in: through a screen into its world. - Drawn doorway: my arcade idea. - Pull back out: the world was the poster on the wall all along. - Carried thread: something crosses the seam from one style to the next. Then Claude pitched me three stories: 1. The paper plane: a plane that flies from style to style. 2. The bedtime question: a child asks something, and the room answers. 3. How pictures learned to move: from shadow puppets to 3D games. I loved all three and could not pick one. So I asked Claude to weave them into one story, and to drop the 2 to 3 minute limit we had planned, because a great story needs time to play out.

Website finally done! The Wheel of Clarity
Hi everyone! I just wanted to share that my website for my ebook and audiobook is finally live and done! It has been sitting on the back burner for a few months and now I finally set time of to finish it! I am really happy with it and it is created using ICM and Claude code. https://www.thewheelofclarity.com/

@Arne-Per Heurberg Thank you so much! It really does feel good, and you're right, the conversations are the best part. Great question, and no forgiveness needed. The short answer: no, I didn't build it on a formal model like the transtheoretical model. The organizing idea is a natural cycle rather than a clinical one. The thirteen laws sit in four movements: Opening, Movement, Direction and Integration. As I put it in the book: "We organize them this way because nature, and human life, always follows a cycle." That said, I think there is real overlap with the stages of change. Opening is close to contemplation, the moment you sense that a broader life is possible. Movement covers preparation and action. Rhythm even has a section on maintenance. And like Prochaska's model, the wheel assumes you will come back around. A hard season sends you back to Surrender or Rhythm, and that isn't failure, it's how the wheel works. Where it leans more toward your passion is identity. The starting point of the book is that we often change our circumstances but not the role we play: "The stage changes, but you are still playing the exact same exhausting role." Most of the laws are really about loosening a role that has become too tight. And I love your approach of living the book through reading it. That is exactly how it is meant to be read. I'd be curious to hear which model you lean on most in your own work.

@Pascal Pollack That's the beautiful part: there's no test and no chart. It's about feeling, following your gut and trusting it. Read through the laws and one will tug at you on a hard day; that's usually the one. And after reading or listening, my hope is you start noticing them in your own life, in small moments, without looking for them. Then you just know where to step in. 🙂
