"Here’s what saved me when burnout hit:.• A 10-minute walk". Burn out is a real thing, what most of these people are describing is fatigue or boredom. Burnout is a collapse, and a walk wont fix it. But it will prevent it. find balance, stay ahead of it.

Night time reflection. ask yourself:.“What helped me feel like ME today?”.That answer is a compass. Follow it.

You don’t need more time. You need fewer open loops, fewer inputs, fewer tasks with no owner. Less chaos → more progress. It’s not your discipline—it’s your design.

Hot take: Notion templates aren’t proprietary—every block can be peeled apart & remixed. Openness fuels innovation, but it also obscures the pioneers who first hacked formulas & features. Keep it open, but credit the minds pushing the limits so they can keep shipping magic!.

Rarely do I agree with Jordan Peterson. I usually hear “make your bed” in a Kermit voice. However he nails it with “aim low.” . Where am I insufficient, and how can I fix it?. Keep the bar low, take incremental steps, and watch progress compound. Always happy, never satisfied.

Automation wins don’t come from:. • Fancy flows.• Month-long builds.• Viral demos. They come from erasing 2 clicks you repeat 20× a day.

The right system doesn’t demand more effort—it removes friction. If your setup is tiring you, it’s not a system. It’s a trap. Simplify.
