Joined November 2025
Today I got more done than the entire last week combined. Why? I locked in on "one" thing for 5–6 hours straight. No distractions. No switching tabs. Just depth. It made me realise something: It’s not about how long you sit at your desk. It’s about how deep you

Lowering your standards accelerates improvement. Perfectionism kills momentum. High volume creates feedback loops. Ship bad work. Get feedback. Improve fast. You don't get good by thinking. You get good by doing.

Stop calling yourself a beginner = Self-respect Stop putting disclaimers everywhere = Self-trust Stop apologizing for existing = Self-belief Lead with what you care about. Not what you fear.

Feeling lost and overwhelmed? · Do nothing · Do some sport · Consume less Stop consuming so much and your mind gets sharper. Sport makes you focus. And doing nothing resets your dopamine baseline.

If you’re endlessly planning without taking a step, you won’t make it. If you start and try as many times as needed, you will make it. It’s not about knowing everything at the start. It’s about being able to learn and adjust your way as you go.

Stop planning yourself to death. Start accepting that you might lose. Stop overthinking the perfect move. Just take one. Stop wasting energy on people who don’t want what you want.

Be honest with yourself for a second: Would you say yes if you could have everything you can imagine overnight? I don’t think I would. If everything came instantly, life would get boring fast. The grind, the progress, the small wins, that’s what makes life enjoyable.

Here’s a productivity paradox I can’t fully explain: When I have the whole day, I get nothing done. But when I only have 2–4 hours to train, work, and eat, I get everything done. Constraints create focus.

The biggest thing here is to pick the option that you won’t regret.

Working for your whole life is hard. Not being your own boss is hard. Being your own boss is hard. Life isn’t easy. Pick your hard.

What everyone forgets about discipline: It's necessary to: – keep promises to yourself – give everything to those promises The moment you stop honoring your own promises, you start lying to yourself.

If you struggle to get to work, you might just be overstimulated. It’s not a motivation problem it’s a dopamine problem. Go into a dark room. Sit down and close your eyes. Do nothing. When there’s no stimulation coming in, boredom takes over. And when you’re bored, even work

I was really lazy today. I struggled to get any work done. Whenever I have days like that, I go on a short walk to reset my mind. If that doesn’t work, I take a hot bath for 20–30 minutes and finish with a cold shower. It always resets my whole system. Sometimes you just

What you loved as a kid is the rawest version of who you are. Revisit it.

Struggling with what you should start? – Ask yourself: “What made me happy as a kid?” – Ask yourself: “What makes me happy now?” It’s most likely a variation of something you liked as a kid, because as a kid you did things you actually enjoyed without thinking whether they

Weekends aren’t my break they’re where I reset through training. I switched to a 6-day high-volume split this week because I realized I was getting too comfortable. More volume, more discipline. The gym hits different when you stop holding back. Hit a small win today too: Lat

If you want to actually do the thing: - Start with one tiny step, not some perfect plan - Cut out whatever’s stopping you from just starting - Act now, even if it’s messy That’s how you close the gap between knowing and doing.
