Productivity

Sometimes the simplest solutions—like a silicone band on your wrist—work better than anything a screen can offer.

I write everything down—ideas, phrases, random thoughts—because I never know when I may need it. Eminem calls this practice, "Stacking ammo".

I take notes in every meeting—not because I have to, but because it helps me pay attention. This is how I built a method that works for me.

For anything you do, there will always be a “day one.” Your first sketch. Your first post. Your first workout. The trick isn’t to nail it. The trick is to get better at starting—whatever it is. To just do it.

In the TV show The Bear, there’s a scene that shows a wall with a timer and a plaque beneath it. The plaque reads: “Every second counts.”

Feeling overwhelmed? Write it down. Feeling lost? Write it down. Feeling inspired? Write. It. Down.

For over a year, I logged every 30-minute chunk I could’ve spent making my life—or someone else’s—better. Every half hour where I gave into impulse and gave up control… was no longer mine.

I woke up at 5:00 AM today, not as part of a "seize the day" productivity practice, but because I struggled to fall and stay asleep. Like many of us, I grabbed my phone and spent 30 minutes scrolling through it, a decision I knew I would regret.
