Maybe I should send this e-mail too while I’m at it. Oh, someone just messaged me. Let me reply. Hm, I think I need to check up on my post online. Oh look at what this person put on their feed. It’s hilarious. I’m going to comment something. This seems like an interesting video. Let […]
What Promises Are You Making?
“The thing that makes someone swipe right on you on Tinder may not be what you want to be in the long run” Seth Godin I’m sure we’ve all been in a situation where we tell ourselves we “need” to do this to get what we want. It could be work. It could be education. […]
Your Sets Can Ruin Your Reps
There was an interesting video I watched a while back from professional trainer Jeff Cavaliere. He discusses the limitations in mindset around the common “3 sets of 12” paradigm around workouts. His criticism comes not from the ineffectiveness of the structure, but what it incentivizes us to do. Particularly, our knowledge of future repetition of […]
“Is This Going To Be On Test?”
You’re asking if you have to do more. It means you’re here just to tell everyone you were here. If you ask “How can I learn/do/give more,” you’re here for a lot more than a certificate of attendance. I think it’s a lot more productive to show up to things that spark the second question […]
You’ve Pushed The Rock Up The Mountain
Congrats. Now what? Maybe you can find another rock. You can find another mountain. Maybe you can find a way to do it faster, to do it better. But a better question is to look at that rock and ask, “What was it for?” Most people are pushing rocks up a mountain because everyone else […]
The Best Tip For Your Success
Here it is: Stop looking for tips. The tips, tricks, and tactics are nothing but a blanket to hide behind. They’re the 1% you can add on at the end to edge out some more from your work. But it doesn’t matter if you have Stephen King’s pen. Tim Ferriss’s morning routine. Steve Wozniak’s keyboard. […]
The Second Prescription We Never Check
There’s a great video by Prince EA. You can find it below. He offered us the choice between being blind and being deaf. And for most people, the answer is to be deaf. Because that’s how important we feel our eyes are above all the other senses. But how often do we walk around the […]
Don’t Prioritize Your Schedule
Instead, schedule your priorities. Time is a finite resource. It’s invaluable and we can only do so much in our day. But that just means you’ll have to decide how you want to use it. The poor and popular strategy is to find something you want to do and find a way to fit in […]
The Shared Addiction
“There is something about yourself that you don’t know. Something that you will deny even exists until it’s too late to do anything about it. It’s the only reason you get up in the morning, the only reason you suffer the sh*tty boss, the blood, the sweat and the tears. “This is because you want […]
Better or Worse?
Have you ever spent a long time not having written anything with a pen or pencil? It feels strange getting used to writing again. Almost like it’s a completely novel experience. We usually view the world as a static background to which living beings apply dynamic change. Nature is like the board game in which […]
