The Core.
Repetition
We all like structure, and quite a lot of us hate repetition, particularly those of us who can be a touch neuro-divergent. Structure, and repetitive tasks, can be the cornerstone to efficiency, allowing us to spend more time doing. the things we like to do. I am also a firm believer that you are either…
Why hustle and grind is counterproductive.
Rise and grind. Hustle harder. Do this one thing to be 10x more productive. Entrepreneurs and millionaires do this one thing to be more productive. This stuff is pushed at us all the time. The secret trick to getting more done, the subconscious message that we are not being as productive as we could be,…
Play
When did you stop playing? I don’t mean organised sports, or board games, but just play? If you watch a young child, once they can move, they play. Climb things, jump, run, chase, throw, catch. At primary school (5-11 years) its play time between lessons. Then we “mature”, move up to main school, and it…
First steps
If you cannot measure it, you cannot manage it. If you cannot manage it, it will manage you. My first step towards financial freedom (hereon defined as the ability to choose what I do with the hours and days I have left) was to see just how deep the hole is. It is far too…
Freedom!
Let us be free, and with that freedom help those less blessed. I was reflecting on what this means, to be free, and what was stopping me from considering myself that way. And I am fortunate. I have sufficient. I am safe. I have money. I am loved. That alone gives me a certain responsibility…

On: Work
Perhaps the job you’re good at is not the one that is healthiest for you. If you are always thinking about your work, don’t leave barriers between home and work life, are always working on the next project and get obsessed by the minutiae, then that is not healthy. This is especially true for those…

Possibly the most productive thing you can do right now is stop. If you are reading this, then you are not in the middle of life saving cardiothoracic surgery, driving a car or working the pass in a busy kitchen. Which means you made the choice to read this. Which I am grateful for, and…
