What I’m doing right now, in no particular order:
- Living room-ing. New verb. Been upgrading my chill time with the help of this cosmic light, a playlist that starts with this song, and big foamy stretching tiles. Maximising the hour before bed to sleep like a baby.
- Teaching every day. My problem is I’m a software founder who loves people. Been channeling this into teaching marketing workshops for Coachvox customers, who seem to love them. Following my joy. It doesn’t have to make sense.
- Daily Instagram reels. Started an experiment. Videos filmed in the gym overlayed with voice notes sent to friends. Unfiltered, uncut and sometimes unhinged. My truth, for you.
- Taking ergonomics seriously. Had massive forehead tension. Turns out the basics of my work setup are wrong. Feet should be flat on the floor, hip crease above the knee. Forearms parallel to desk. Gaze forward, never down. Keyboard, mouse, stand, let’s go!
- Living in the end. I’m done with rushing, trying, and being impatient. Instead, I’m following the law of least effort. Doing what feels good, going with my intuition. Doing more of what works. Dreaming big and trusting the path will appear. Certain? No. But a whole lot more enjoyable than grinding.
- Going beyond logic. New series on Forbes that I’m calling “sceptical to spiritual.” Writing about people who believe in something bigger than stats, data, and working hard. Figuring out the laws of the universe and sharing the findings. Because why not? Become a client magnet, let success flow to you, and visualize extreme wealth. Let me know if you have a story for my column.
- Being less smart. Friends hold themselves back overthinking the way forward. They’re too clever. I don’t delegate enough because I think I can do it better myself. It’s not true. Playing dumb and asking stupid questions is my new strategy. Letting everyone else do their thing.
- Maxing out my VA. She takes my money and gives me back my time. Fair trade. She’s booking transfers, sorting gifts, dealing with necessary admin. Some people love the jobs you hate. Find them and be free.
- Doing a 180. Before: plan, structure, routine, obsess, analyse, chase, follow up. Now: dream, play, ponder, nap, then take aligned action on the right things. Hustle is easy. Letting go is not. But it attracts the best stuff.
- Writing myself emails. Opened with: "does the path I'm traveling right now get me to my big life dreams coming true? If so, how so? If not, what do I change?" Unfiltered stream of consciousness ensued. Answers came up.
What do we have in common?
