Maybe you can create a routine such as Book a time on your calendar (untouchable spots) it should not be too long. Start 10-15 minutes breaks more often. I'm sure you will see the differences.

Just finished law school and pulled an 180! Currently I'm working on expanding my esoteric knowledge. Had some sort of an awakening after some serious soul crashing experiences. I've read your book recommendations post. I remember Don Miguel Ruiz's Four Agreements. When you recommended that I was reading his Mastery of Love. With all that I discovered that I was very interested in astrology and my lessons start on 21st of this month. Your daily newsletter keeps me super motivated. Much love from Istanbul.

Maybe I need to simplify the idea lol

I am trying to apply some of the methods you have mentioned in your newsletter and podcast. Still haven't built the full mvp, trying to validate the idea with early adopters.

I have a crazy app idea for the last 3 years. Since I do not have the tech-knowledge to elaborate on this, I am insufficient and leave it. But it doesn't get out of my head. Apps are here to change the world.
