“To procrastinate is to willingly endure the discomfort of anticipation, rather than the discomfort of action. Both are burdens, but only one leads to progress.”

"Do your duty without attachment to the fruits" — Bhagavad Gita i think and experience this as a mental framework more than any business book mantra i've ever read. It's one of the things that contributed to my relentless pushing of...
Most people are drowning in information. But the ones making money are taking daily action Don't be the one who knows everything but never does anything

Before I found this simple journal prompt, I began every day in pure zombie mode: • Sucked into 24-hour news • Doomscrolling social media • Replying to every notification But now I start every morning with elite clarity. I call it the Morning Kickstart. Here's...
My entire life changed when I realized you have to sacrifice short-term freedom in order to earn long-term freedom. Instant gratification is the thief of your dreams. Sacrifice is the cost of entry. Delayed gratification is the key to the...

Rule 8: Apply the power of surprise. The brain pays attention to the unexpected. The best surprises aren't invented — they're already hiding in the story you lived. 10/12
I squat 80kg today, a new PB But my negative self-talk is out of control I can't help but tune into to my weaknesses I focus on not reaching my goals or feeling uncomfortable in my body Even when the evidence points the other...
But you can't build a new life with the exact same old habits. Stop negotiating with your potential and start doing the work you know you need to do.

Most weekly plans fail for one simple reason: we try to fit too much into too little time. A productive week isn’t built by packing every hour with tasks. It’s built by creating breathing room so you can think, adjust, and focus...

We’ve been told that productivity means organising everything. More to-do lists. More apps. More perfectly categorised tasks. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: organising more work doesn’t solve overwhelm. It often creates it. The real productivity shift happens when we stop asking “How can I manage...
Pops said I can go to zero today and still have an entire career doing anything else, so go for it. Blessed to have someone I look up to believe in the dream and I don’t take that for granted.

Six years ago, I released Power Shift into the world… Six years later, the message still stands: You don’t wait for power. You build it. You don’t chase opportunity. You position yourself for it. I’m grateful for every reader who didn’t just read the...
Doing the work tired Doing the work nervous Doing the work imperfectly Doing the work even when I don’t feel like it Because no matter how bad I feel when I start, I know exactly how I feel when I finish.

At 41 years old, I have lost quite a few friends over the years for different reasons. My drinking or being an asshole or just being immature. Many were my fault, 100%. Others, I could have salvaged, but only by betraying myself. I'll...

You can “take about writing or ✍️ drawing or anything” but until you put pencil ✏️ to paper … you’re doing nothing but building a fake narrative to hide your insecurities and fear … my friends … this post is...
“One of the many life skills that you want to learn at a fairly young age is the skill of being an ultra-thrifty, minimal kind of little wisp that’s traveling through time . . . in the sense of learning...
I'm convinced you should feel remarkably unprepared & unqualified whenever you start something new Otherwise you wasted time
“Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.”
@bgurley (Partner @benchmark + early investor in Uber) surveyed 1,000 people and 7 out of 10 said they'd restart their career if they could. Not bc they made bad choices but cause they never made the scary ones. @DanielPink calls...
I actually do the whole new year's resolutions thing, and it actually works. The key thing to understand is that humans are creatures of habit. Doing the same action you've already done regularly takes very little mental effort, whereas inserting a...
Sleep masks that induce sleep (exist not released yet), glasses to ramp up specific brain states etc (early versions look promising), and vagal micro stim with specificity… have tried several, and the engineers behind the soon to come tech are...
If you spent half as many hours taking action as you did thinking about taking action, you would be in a better spot
I plan for 3 types of days to achieve my goals Extraordinary days : I can do a lot more Normal days : all checkmarks are completed Chaos days : the minimum gets done They all move the needle.
Mindfulness doesn’t have to mean long meditation sessions. It can be as simple as pausing during the day and fully experiencing a moment. Put the phone down. Notice the light, the air, the people around you. Let yourself actually experience the...
Since I started writing on 𝕏: - I quit my job on Wall Street - I made hundreds of friends - I learned tons of new topics - I have a heightened sense of self-awareness - I developed consistency in other areas of life Highly recommend...
↓ If your knowledge system feels like a second job to maintain, you have too many moving parts. I've coached hundreds of people through building these systems and the pattern is always the same. Too many tags, too many databases, too...
It doesn't matter if it takes years. What the fuck else are you going to do? You aren't going to learn, create, experiment, grow, and everything that makes life enjoyable because you have something better to be doing? Your mind is playing tricks...
Visualisation sounds like nonsense until you realise what it actually does. When you picture a future moment in extreme detail, what it smells like, what people say, how you feel, your brain starts connecting the dots on how to get there...

Most of us were trained to grind. Very few were taught how to decide. COD is your decision framework: ✔ What gets captured ✔ What gets scheduled ✔ What gets ignored Less guilt. More progress. Master Collect, Organise, Do for FREE. https://t.co/edEGsruY96 https://t.co/Ov1xW8eM3P
This is my last comment today on choice and ownership: The whole premise of “bad luck” is absurd—and frankly ungrateful. Do you really think anyone goes through life with only good luck? Do you think there’s a single person on earth...
The person who faces illness and asks, “Is there something I can learn from this? Is there something I could have done to avoid this?” opens the door to discovery. That mindset has the power to teach the world something...

#1 reason stopping us from starting: Not (lack of) talent. But the story we tell ourselves. "I'm too old." "I'm too late." "I missed my window." I've heard every version of this limiting belief. And I've studied the psychology behind why we...
I’ve seen constant scrollers go offline for a goal. I’ve seen distracted minds lock in under pressure. I’ve seen “I can’t focus” turn into deep work daily. People protect attention when it matters.
The smallest mind is not the one that knows the least, but the one that doubts human will and fails to see that choice is the architect of destiny.

Progress doesn’t always happen on your timeline. But if you keep going, keep learning, and keep showing up… you’ll get there.💪

So many are stuck in a “glass half full” 🥃 mindset…envy, jealousy, resentment, longing, desire, begrudging, rivalry, yearning,spite of others isn’t allowing you to see the “good” you have … comparison to what others “have” has destroyed a generation of...

Understanding where we want to go in life helps us say yes to the things that keep us on the path to greatness, and say no to those that do not.
Two thoughts from Rolf Potts "Time is the truest form of wealth. And the beauty is, we are all born equally rich in time." “Someday” (“someday I’ll do this, someday I’ll do that”) is a disease that will take your dreams to...

fwiw is this is you sitting on the sidelines bc you think you missed it, don’t. you’re not too old. you -are- too stubborn. you can just decide not to be. https://t.co/IDQLQ631VY

Productivity isn’t only about how much you do. It’s about where your energy goes. Most people try to solve exhaustion by working harder, planning better, or adding another tool. But often the real issue is simpler: energy is leaking in small places all...
There is no point in "trying to be present." You're always in the present moment, but you're too stuck in identity and mental constructs to notice "Being present" thus is less about "doing something" and more about NOT doing much at...
Something I’m thinking about more and more each day: Will the next generation of workers learn faster by using AI? Or will learning actually become harder because passable outputs are becoming easier to create without effort? New tech is amazing, but...
Things shifted for me when I realized this: I am not responsible for my trauma. I am responsible for my healing.
