21 Days

I’ve written every day for 21 days. The biggest lesson? Stop overthinking. Just start. Do the whole thing. Do it your way.

Timers

I use timers. A lot. Not just to get things done—but to make sure I’m doing the right things, too.

Work dailies

Every morning, I start with a handwritten 3×5 card—not just to plan my day, but to help me do better work and show up as my best self.

"Stuff"

The bigger and scarier something sounds, the more important it is to cut through the jargon—and “stuff” is my favorite way to do it.

Don't forget

These days, I write a lot and reflect a lot. But it wasn’t always like that. I didn’t start to feel good. I started because I couldn’t afford to forget.

Naming files

Where your instinct tells you to look—that’s where the thing should live. And that’s probably how it should be named. And that's how I name my files.

Silicone bands

Sometimes the simplest solutions—like a silicone band on your wrist—work better than anything a screen can offer.

Stacking ammo

I write everything down—ideas, phrases, random thoughts—because I never know when I may need it. Eminem calls this practice, "Stacking ammo".

Technique over tools

A $10 mic. A cheap pen. A steak knife. What they all have in common? They remind me every day that it’s not about getting great stuff—it’s about getting great at stuff.

Taking meeting notes

I take notes in every meeting—not because I have to, but because it helps me pay attention. This is how I built a method that works for me.

Who am I?

Who am I? Who am I to tell people what to do?

Day one

For anything you do, there will always be a “day one.” Your first sketch. Your first post. Your first workout. The trick isn’t to nail it. The trick is to get better at starting—whatever it is. To just do it.

Binder clips

The humble binder clip is one of several staple expendables in my Studio (aka. my office) and around my home. Cheap. Reliable. Incredibly useful.

Every second counts

In the TV show The Bear, there’s a scene that shows a wall with a timer and a plaque beneath it. The plaque reads: “Every second counts.”
