I let AI audit my LinkedIn—and deleted 3,000+ connections in one day.
Why? My network was a relic of my SAP past, full of randoms & dead weight. Sometimes, less is more—if you want to grow, burn the old life down.
Ever tried a digital purge?

When is something perfect? When you can't add to it anymore? Or take anything more away?
Here’s how I learned the power of less is more.

Everyone’s obsessed with to-do lists.
Here’s my not-to-do list.
See what I refuse to do now and why saying no is my biggest productivity hack.

Launch early, fail fast, iterate often.
That’s how I built my companies and how I started my own gin brand.

How I Used AI to Purge my LinkedIn - Step by Step:
1. Exported my connections
2. Asked AI for a ruthless audit: flag dead weight, legacy roles, irrelevance
3. Bulk-removed the rest (no mercy)
4. Kept only the people I’d actually call or who’d call me back
Stop hoarding.

@gregisenberg Nice list, Greg. May I add:

I don’t let guilt or pressure force me to respond to calls or emails immediately.
I’ll get to it when I’m good and ready. My time, my rules.

[Thomas Michael @ListenToThomas]

We built an AI-first company. No bloated org chart, no busywork, no legacy headaches. Here’s how we run lean, fast, and smarter at TomcoCapital.

Most people coast through life on autopilot.
I track everything that matters - on purpose.
Here’s how “Life by Design” helped me build a year of real intent and meaning:

@girdley I’m surprised it doesn’t say anything about ’experience’. I only hire people who have done successfully what the job requires.

If you get a vague answer, follow with this prompt:
Sounds good but too vague. I need specifics.

[Thomas Michael @ListenToThomas]

I just tried this prompt in ChatGPT…wow, what an eye opener!

If my life was a movie and the audience had watched it up until now, what would they be screaming at the screen for me to do next?

Spent a week in Dubai—land of hustle, status, and “more.”
Turns out, more isn���t better.
Here’s what the desert taught me about ambition and knowing when enough is enough.

@AlexanderFYoung Very nice. I’d use it with a daily task so that I get a lesson delivered to me every morning at 6am to replace reading the news with learning.

[Thomas Michael @ListenToThomas]

Consistency beats intensity. Every time.
I’ve built mastery in business but in other areas, I’ve been coasting.
This book called me out. Hard.

@matt_vanswol A CT scan at a top private clinic in London is £300. You guys are getting ripped off and that’s the real outrage.

[Thomas Michael @ListenToThomas]

I nuked 80% of my LinkedIn network (from 3,776 to 465).
Instant result: No more noise. Feed = people I actually care about. Rediscovered old friends & collaborators buried under clutter. Quality > quantity.
Would you dare to do the same?

I built ERPlingo so you can fix SAP errors faster - with verified messages, step-by-step fixes, and analytics that show where you're stuck. #SAP #ERPlingo #BetterThanChatGPT

@gregisenberg Yeah, f*ck red eyes
