It’s such a simple concept: Just do it.

But surprisingly, so few people do.

it's ok to reinvent yourself

[DAN KOE @thedankoe]

The fastest way to change your life is to rip yourself out of your (physical and digital) environment. Change everything overnight. The places you go, the accounts you follow, the info you consume, etc. It's difficult but it absolutely works.

EVERYONE IN NYC IS SINGING EMPIRE STATE OF MIND

[Jack @extravirginguy]

kinda cool - and it's not scary. just means you gotta get more creative with your video content and deviate from AI normalcy.

[Jack @extravirginguy]

Chatbot seemingly has answers to questions we are looking for but most people don't know the right questions to ask.

That's why books are so valuable, since you as the author are an expert in knowing the questions people have and providing a full solution to those questions without any deviation.

It's almost that AI is too customizable for our own liking.

This is why when I research I continue to go to the library as I find AI leaving out crucial details as its answers are directly tailored to my expertise... or lack their of

Last night I ate my way through Tenma, Osaka's izakaya district. Best way to describe it is vibe-eating...

You wander around tight streets until a shop interests you. Pop in, eat a skewer of chicken and soy-cured quail eggs, and bounce...

Usually you need to buy a drink, almost as the seating fee. I slammed a bunch of iced oolong tea, which is the typical drink if you're not a drinker

I got grilled shiitake at one counter, three GENEROUS pieces of nigiri at a standing sushi bar, charred leeks with miso, then ate Osaka's classic street food, takoyaki: octopus in a gooey dough ball, usually with bonito flakes, mayo, and a classic sauce

Dessert was an entire mandarin orange wrapped in mochi. Threw down nearly 20k steps during the meals as well

Wildest part is the freshness of the food vs. street markets in other countries. The food safety regs here are SO strict that they're criticized for wasting good food instead of selling it

Entire night cost about $31 for 10 small plates, 3 teas, and 2 desserts

@aakashgupta the irony is the sweetness level of that drink isn't even alarming to so many tongues as sugar-free replacements have numbed us to what too sweet tastes like.

instead of it feeling off, it feels familiar to the tongue.

there are downstream effects to sugar replacements

186 grams of sugar in one drink is insane, and that's exactly why Crumbl made it.

Almost half a pound. Five cans of Coke. More than 5x the daily max the American Heart Association sets for an adult man, in a single cup. There's no framing that makes this look reasonable, and Crumbl knew that before it shipped.

The chain built a billion-dollar brand on one promise: maximum indulgence, zero apology. A 1,000-calorie cookie was never an accident. A 186g drink is the same playbook in a new format, a number engineered to get screenshotted.

The "make it illegal" replies are the distribution engine. A normal soda launch gets ignored. A soda thousands of people are demanding the government ban gets 1.4M impressions on one repost. Every outraged quote tweet is a free ad.

The drink will sell out. The ban won't happen. Crumbl already won the only number that mattered, a week of headlines they paid nothing for.

I was clickbaited by the headline but the reality is if you want Time-Based or Action Based Triggers in your workflow, watch this video explainer

• Time based: make document xyz on monday 9am
• Action Based: when you deploy to website, Claude Code sends notification to your slack

simplified.

[darkzodchi @zodchiii]

Anthropic engineer:

"You're not supposed to watch Claude Code work. You're supposed to wake up and review what it shipped."

In 22 minutes she builds the entire workflow live on camera.

Most people close their terminal and everything stops.
This setup keeps shipping while you sleep.

Watch the video, then save the exact setup below👇

Naval Ravikant: "You're going to die. It's all going to zero. What's there to stress about?"

"Stress is when your mind has two conflicting desires at once. You want to be liked, but you want to do something selfish. You don't want to go to work, but you want to make money. You have two conflicting desires, and that's stress."

Naval explains the difference between stress and anxiety:

"Anxiety is this pervasive, unidentifiable stress where you're stressed out all the time and you're not even sure why. The reason is you have so many unresolved problems that have piled up in your life, you can no longer identify what the problems are. There's this mountain of garbage in your mind. A little bit is poking out the top like an iceberg; that's anxiety. But underneath, there's a lot of unresolved things."

He shares his personal anxiety resolver:

"One big anxiety resolver for me is just ruminating on death. You're going to die. It's all going to zero. You cannot take anything with you. If you can keep that idea in front of you at all times, what's there to stress about?"

Naval reframes what "wasted time" really means:

"What is wasted time? Everything is wasted time in a sense because nothing matters in the ultimate. But in each moment, it's the only thing that matters. So if you're doing something you want to do and you're fully there for it it's not wasted time. If your mind is running away, wishing you were somewhere else, anticipating the future, regretting the past, that's wasted time. That's time you're not present for."

He concludes:

"People get worried about dying and no longer being here. But they don't realize that so much of their life is spent not being here in any case."

Schedule life and do your work around it before work becomes it

@GadzhiIman r u saying a free consultation is a dumb pitch?

[MrBeast @MrBeast]

@PBDsPodcast I keep seeing this “down 50%” number and I’m not sure who did the math. The videos with hundreds of millions of views are years old. Our videos are evergreen, they usually get 5 to 10M views a month for years. Hence why newer videos have less views.

@tfadell i bought an MP3 player a month ago and use it every. single. day.
