🏴‍☠️ Less Doing, More Done

Last month, I watched a high-profile CEO block 4 hours to build Lego sets.

At first, I thought he was wasting time - until I saw his company's growth charts.

That's when I realized everything I knew about productivity was backwards.

Look, your daily habits are either building you up or breaking you down. There's no middle ground.

But here's the thing about routines - they're personal. What works for someone else might destroy your output. So let's break this down into chunks you can actually use:

Morning mastery

• Wake up at the same time (yes, weekends too)

• Front-load your hardest task

• Reserve emails for the afternoon

• Block 90-minute focus sessions

Fuel your machine

Your brain burns 20 percent of your daily energy. Feed it right:

• Protein-heavy breakfast

• Water before coffee

• Greens with every meal

• No sugar bombs before important work

Movement matters

Better ideas rarely come while sitting:

• 20-minute walks between deep work

• Stand-up meetings exclusively

• Mobility work during calls

• Exercise before key decisions

Deep work defense

Attention is your most valuable asset:

• Pause notifications

• Batch similar tasks

• Use airplane mode during focus blocks

• Schedule "reactive time" for emails/messages

Planned randomness

Innovation needs chaos:

• Take different routes home

• Talk to strangers in coffee shops

• Read books outside your field

• Try something different each month

• Write in unusual locations

Next Step: Pick ONE thing from each section. Try it tomorrow. That's it. No massive overhauls. No complex systems. Just one small change, executed perfectly.

Remember: Excellence is boring. But boring works.
