Most people try to force discipline. That’s why it fails.
It works like this: Identity → Goals → Actions.
You don’t act against who you believe you are.
Boredom reveals your default.
Scrolling or creating?
One is numbing. The other, building.
What you do when you're bored becomes who you are when you're not.
Next time, don't escape it. Use it.
AI will hollow out the middle class by automating the very tasks that once defined stable, upwardly mobile careers, leaving millions without a clear path to relevance or income.
Suzanne read my Substack this morning, used it during her hackathon, and built the product version of the course I'd teach at uni using AI.
No tech background.
I get a lot of messages but this one actually made my day.
More 20-year-olds should take notes from Suzanne.
Years ago, I wrote for Reuters, the World Economic Forum, Forbes, etc.
Now, I’m challenging myself to write daily… for 2k Substack subscribers, 4 Twitter fans, and a one-sided situationship with my LinkedIn followers (it’s definitely me, not them).
Let’s see where this goes.
June to August. While some are at the beach club, the real ones are stacking bricks in silence. Let this summer be the one where you:
→ Stop rehearsing and start doing
→ Say yes before you're ready
→ Move like it’s already yours
Quiet momentum always beats loud distraction.
This is a great video which explains why @chaymaesmr now uses only glass packaging for her skincare products!

In its most basic definition, self-care means consciously doing something to promote your own well-being. The bubble baths and £50 candles are quite frankly some overrated superficial definition of it.
Entrepreneurship will teach you that all great things are built by people with three qualities: an unparalleled self-belief, a willpower of commitment, and an ability to really cut-back and sacrifice for a greater ambition.
