I was a struggling artist for 9 years.

Becoming a biz owner was terrifying.

I was scared..

- young
- naive
- suggestible

My greatest fear?

.. Being taken advantage of by experienced people.

So I learned psychology and persuasion.

I’m not scared anymore.

Mystics search for truth - the truth of what is.

Scientists search for truth - the truth of how it works.

Entrepreneurs search for truth - the truth of what people want.

In theory, beating procrastination is about rigid schedules and iron willpower

In practice, it's about your energy cycles and flow, instead of force

Not feeling focused? Tackle smaller, less demanding tasks

Lacking motivation? Break down projects into micro-actions

My favorite Learning hack of 2023:

1. Read the favorite authors of your favorite authors. And then read there.

2. Don’t read. Listen using speechify

3. Take notes and highlight in readwise

Writing is thinking.

When you write clearly,
you think clearly.

When you think clearly,
you communicate clearly.

When you communicate clearly?

The universe responds.

ADHD = Attention diversified across harmonious disciplines

@MKBHD @LinusEkenstam A new study from Harvard found consultants made more mistakes using AI for unfamiliar tasks DESPITE productivity gains.

The takeaway: blindly relying on the tool is clearly a recipe for disaster.

However, Prompt Engineering helps maximize benefits.

I just want to learn what excites me.

Understand my curiosities deeply.

And then share what I discover with others.

It's that simple.

You’re doing the best you can. Be gentle with yourself today.

[Perris Aquino @iamperris]

ADHD isn't a limitation; it's a lens. A unique perspective that's allowed me to see opportunities where others see obstacles.

Delegation is a skill that should be taught in school

It requires you to think about...
• why something is being done
• what success looks like
• what context or details are needed
• who is the best person to handle it

We all have to delegate responsibilities at some point!
