It’s okay to glitch out.

Catch yourself complaining? Glitch
Mindlessly scrolling the feed? Glitch
Lose your cool in a meeting? Glitch

It happens to everyone.

What matters is what we do next.

👇
In mindfulness there’s a concept called Begin Again.

If you’re meditating and catch yourself lost in thought, the worst thing you can do it criticize yourself.

Why?

That’s just MORE thought. You’re going deeper.

Instead, just start over. Simple.
Ultimately, you know what you’re supposed to be doing.

When you catch yourself doing otherwise, just notice it and then get back on track.

No judgement necessary.
A simple trick you might use:

When you catch yourself, set a timer for 60 seconds.

You now have one minute to continue doing that thing.

To continue being mad, to continue TikTok, to continue eating chips.

When the timer goes off, you’re back on track.

Most New Year's Resolutions will be abandoned by January 19.

We're 7 days in.

If you want to become a new person in 2022, you need to build an actionable roadmap for change.

Here's how:

Thread 👇
Jan 19th.

It's known as "Quitter's Day."

According to a recent study by Strava of 800 million activities, it's the day you're most likely to give up on your resolutions.

But the problem isn't the resolution itself, it's how you treat it.
In Part 1 we broke down the why & how of an Annual Review process.

(If you missed it, check it out below.)

In Part 2, we're turning our focus to the future.

The clock is ticking, if we really want change in 2022, let's make it happen.

New Year's resolutions are a cop-out.

If you’re serious about getting what you want, do this instead.

The definitive Annual Review template: 28 questions to make your 2022 better than your 2021.

Thread 👇
If you became a better version of yourself every single year, where would you be right now?

What would you have?
How would you feel?
What types of things would you do?

How would your position in life be different?
Unfortunately, we're not iPhones. There's no option to update our software while we sleep.

But we can update. Or, upgrade, rather.

And there is no single activity better suited to do that than the Annual Review.

Yet, somehow 99% of people will not make the time to do it.

What if you could control your motivation?

Let’s talk about Mimesis.

What is it and how can we leverage it to reach our goals & accelerate our success.

Thread 👇
Memesis is a concept coined by French philosopher René Girard & popularized in the book ‘Wanting’ by Luke Burgis.

In this thread we’ll…

1. Break down the core concepts behind mimesis

2. Explain how it can help us build more lasting motivation
But first, a disclaimer.

This is not a book about how to be more productive.

And I can’t entirely say that the author would agree with the application I’m proposing in this thread.

The to-do list is broken.

It’s time for an upgrade.

Make these 6 tweaks to transform your list from an anxiety pit to a production machine.

Thread 👇
It started out with good intentions.

A useful tool to guide you to your goals.

These days, the to-do list seems to do more harm than good.

Bloated. Cumbersome. Overwhelming.

But all is not lost…
With a few quick tweaks we can take back our to-do list and get more done with our limited time:

1. Rebrand, reframe
2. Make an Inbox
3. Think first, execute later
4. Projects v Tasks
5. Organize by energy
6. Bonus points

Presidents: they’re not just great leaders & politicians…

They’re extemely high acheivers, too.

From breaking procrastination to reducing decision fatigue, here are my favorite productivity practices from America's past presidents.
The Roosevelt Dash

In college, Roosevelt was known to collect hobbies leaving little time for his studies.

To cope, he was forced to work in short, extremely intense bursts of concentration.

In other words, no coffee breaks, no chit chat, & definitely no Twitter.

"When Plan A fails, remember there are 25 more letters" — Chris Guillebeau

As an entrepreneur, failure is part of the game.

We know this by now.

But no matter how many times we hear "fail fast, fail often" or "fail up," the emotional blow still hurts.
