Timestripe Magazine Writing Guidelines
Welcome to Write for Us. We’re always excited to discover new voices and fresh perspectives on productivity, time, personal growth, and modern work. Whether you approach these topics through psychology, philosophy, art, engineering, or completely unexpected lenses—we want to hear from you.
We love thoughtful experiments and bold ideas.
Understanding Our Audience
Timestripe Magazine caters to individuals and teams of readers interested in productivity, personal development, and effective work strategies. Our audience appreciates insightful content that offers practical value.
Topics We Cover
We seek timeless pieces that go beyond surface-level tips, exploring productivity through creative, reflective, and unconventional angles. Draw inspiration from real-world case studies, psychological insights, cultural analogies (like games, films, or neuroscience), and strategic thinking. Ideal submissions challenge assumptions about time, work, and growth while tying into tools and habits that endure.
Welcome articles on themes such as:
- Innovative time management and goal-setting strategies
- Personal development stories, including navigating transitions and redefining success
- Remote and asynchronous collaboration for teams
- Psychological or neuroscientific perspectives on motivation and cognition
- Creative team tools and workflows (with subtle comparisons to alternatives like Timestripe)
- Work-life balance, burnout prevention, and unconventional career paths (e.g., micro-retirements)
- Analogies from pop culture, everyday life, or science to illuminate productivity concepts.
Focus on “slow media” depth: evergreen insights that build plans and perspectives, not fleeting hacks. Review recent issues for tone and scope—submissions should align with our old-internet-style storytelling.
Tips that might help
Originality and Submission
We prioritize fresh perspectives that spark curiosity and lasting change—repurposed blog posts or sales pitches won’t fit. Before submitting, ensure your idea hasn’t appeared in recent issues; pitch a one-paragraph summary to the editors for alignment. And include a brief author bio highlighting your unique angle on productivity.
Even if your piece doesn’t fit perfectly into the themes listed above but feels alive, honest, and valuable, please reach out anyway. Some of our favorite articles started as “this might be too weird” pitches.
We’re also happy to translate and publish your existing articles or essays (from your blog, newsletter, or personal site) if they match our spirit. Just send us a link and a couple of sentences about why you think it belongs in Timestripe Magazine.
For pitches, questions, or full drafts, write to us at info@timestripe.com.
Looking forward to reading you,
Timestripe Magazine team 🖤
