Productivity

What makes a doc living isn’t the proclamation—it’s the practice. The quiet systems and small acts of care that keep it alive.

The best systems aren’t the prettiest. They’re proven. They’re the ones that still work — even when you don’t.

Extra effort often goes unseen — but that doesn’t make it meaningless. You might be holding up more than anyone realizes.

Make when you wake. Before the world gets in, get something out. Just do it. And do it for you.

It started with a half-remembered video. It ended with better systems — and a bit more trust in myself.

Don’t impress the room. Invite the room. Say it simply. Say it clearly. Say it like you would to a five-year-old. Then watch the work move forward.

The marks of wear aren’t damage — they’re proof of use, of care, of craft. Every defect gets respect.

Go fast by getting rid of what slows you down. Not by rushing — by refining.

I use timers. A lot. Not just to get things done—but to make sure I’m doing the right things, too.

Every morning, I start with a handwritten 3×5 card—not just to plan my day, but to help me do better work and show up as my best self.

Where your instinct tells you to look—that’s where the thing should live. And that’s probably how it should be named. And that's how I name my files.

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.
