Waking up early is boring, walking is boring, being disciplined is boring, working out is boring, reading is boring, writing is boring, doing the same thing everyday is boring but unfortunately you have to do boring things to go ahead.
I haven't written any of the 6 books I have published.
They have written themselves.
I write for 40 minutes every morning before I speak to a single human.
Not typing.
Pen and paper writing.
I have maintained a daily blog for 21 years now.
Not for an audience.
Not for reach.
Not for money.
Because it is the slowest form of expression.
When I write I am training my mind to select the most important thought of all the thoughts inside.
And bring it to the front.
Pages and pages of my thoughts.
Shaped by my observations.
Structured by my practice.
So I never had to sit down to write the books.
They wrote themselves.
One day at a time.
To everyone who wishes to write a book.
Don't wish to write a book
Instead, wish to write everyday.
The book will write itself.
Life advice nobody told you: Working out completely rewires your brain. It creates real evidence that you have the power to take an action and achieve a desired outcome. That has ripple effects into every area of life.

Luck doesn’t just happen, it’s created. You can do things to increase the odds of serendipity.
Meeting more people makes you lucky.
Learning more skills makes you lucky.
Being willing to fail makes you lucky.
Offering to help others more often makes you lucky.
I read every day for 30-45 mins.
Have done so for 11 years.
3 books a month.
36-42 a year.
400+ books since I started counting.
People ask me how I find the time.
I do not have time.
I have a non-negotiable.
The difference between time and a non-negotiable is the difference between wishing and doing.
You don't have time.
You make time.
For your non-negotiables.
It's very strange when I checked my @WazirXIndia portfolio today, it's entirely wiped out, though there are no sell orders. @WazirXCares care to explain please?
Worked at Atlassian for 8 years. Got laid off.
He made a 40-minute video breaking down everything he built, the systems he worked on, and how Atlassian engineering operates.
It’s part engineering deep dive, part open resume.
Honestly one of the smartest “hire me” moves.

Always take yourself seriously. Stop showing up in the world like it was an accident. Do the little things to show up as the best version of yourself. Move your body daily. Eat real foods. Get good sleep. Buy a few outfits that fit. Maintain good hygiene rituals. Move slowly and deliberately. Head tall. Use open body language. Never cross your arms in front of you. None of that needs to be expensive, but not doing it will be. The way the world treats you is a simple reflection of the way you treat yourself. Always carry yourself like your life matters. Because it does.
The 2-4 hours you spend scrolling each day (or 730-1460 hours each year) is more than enough time to write a book, build a business, or get in shape. In the moment, it seems like nothing. That's why it's so dangerous. Your time disappears without you being conscious of it.
Bro to bro: Start thinking of your future very seriously. Be overly curious, accept you know very little, be selfish to learn new stuff & don’t get into stupid office politics. The world is very cruel to people who are not doing new things everyday. You will become irrelevant.
A few "boring" things I love:
- Going to bed early
- Waking up early
- Eating simple foods
- Saving money
- Moving my body
- Walking in silence
- Reading old books
- Avoiding drama
Boring is seriously underrated.
