Now, a word from our fake sponsor…
This newsletter is sponsored by Home Gym Cleaners!
Is your treadmill more of a storage shelf than a treadmill? Have your kettlebells seen less action than your tea kettle, you fat f*ck? Then it’s time to call Home Gym Cleaners!
We specialize in removing dust, cobwebs, and the guilt of not using your gym equipment. Let us do the cleaning, so you can focus on lifting…the weight of this massive lie you’re telling yourself.
Premium Subscribers to Doug’s Newsletter receive passive aggressive backhanded comments when they tell their cleaner they’re going to start working out again next week, like “Oh I bet you are!” and “Won’t that be the day!”
I Want to Inform You...
As a Human Design Manifestor, I’m meant to inform.
Before I explain what that means and actually do it, here’s a quick background on what the fuck I’m talking about when I say ‘Human Design’.
Human Design is a self-awareness system that blends ancient wisdom and modern science, giving you a blueprint for how your energy works best. It helps you understand your natural strengths, decision-making process, and interactions with others.
In short…the planets in our solar system imprint on us when we’re born. Human Design illuminates how.
Feel free to ignore this stuff if you don’t believe it at all. Magic is only real if you believe in it.
Like I said, my Type is a Manifestor. Manifestors are initiators, here to get things started and create.
My Strategy is to inform others before I act. Not for permission, just so you know what the fuck is going on, because I (Manifestors) tend to move quickly and assume everyone knows what’s happening in our life.
So! Here’s what I want you to know:
1) Starting in January, my newsletter will shift to every other week, and maybe even monthly. I’m committed to myself to finishing out 2024 with a full year of weekly issues, but as we head into 2025, my creative energy is being pulled in other directions…
a. Growing Slow The Fuck Down’s Community Membership offering AND Play With Time self-paced course (released in Early 2025).
b. My podcast. Which will be like an audio -version of this newsletter, and will likely be converted into newsletter format for those who’d like to read it. Manifestors are meant to utilize their throat chakra, so I’m moving toward more audio content.
c. A new wellness collaboration I’m working on to bring energy work training to people seeking it. More to be revealed!
Informing complete. Great!
Although, I’d like to inform you about one more thing, and that’s how huge an impact learning about my Human Design (HD) has had for me.
It’s put words, structure, and validation to aspects of myself I’ve always noticed but could never grasp and utilize to my benefit. And everyone I know who explores HD echoes that sentiment.
Now that you’re a Human Design veteran because you know the ‘HD’ shorthand, I have a fun experiment for those willing to be openly curious about this topic.

Below are the 4 Types, along with their Strategies.
I invite you to read them, take a guess at your Design, and then look up your design with the free resource I provide below.
1. Manifestors (~9% of people)
Strategy: Inform others before you act.
Manifestors are initiators, here to get things started and create.
2. Generators / Manifesting Generators (~70% of people)
Strategy: Wait to respond to what excites you.
These types have sustainable energy and thrive endlessly when doing what lights them up.
3. Projectors (~20% of people)
Strategy: Wait for recognition and invitations.
Projectors are natural guides and thrive when managing or directing others.
4. Reflectors (~1% of people)
Strategy: Wait through a 28-day lunar cycle before making decisions.
Reflectors mirror the health of their environment and need time to find clarity.

Results for last week’s question: You're eating out, and you just found a hair in your food! What do you do?
I answered pull it out and keep eating…but now that I think of it, if I’m pulling out an epically long hair or a hair that looks like it’s from below the built…yeah it depends.
