write fast, enjoy life


My calendar is notoriously empty.

Mainly because I understand the capacity of my energy, so I don't overdo it.

And it keeps me in good spirits throughout the week.

No joke, this is my calendar for next week:

I'm sure more life things will pop up.

But no calls, no overload of work, tons of free time to enjoy living in a country with the best beaches in the world.

If I didn't protect energy like this, I'd be all over the place.

  • Non existent socially
  • Stressed the F out
  • Missing out on life

I'd hate that.

Not the way I want to live my life and I hope the same could be said for you.

But you do you.

I take the same approach to writing my social content.

Monday is content day.

And I spend about 2-3 hours writing up all my content for the week + creating the nice little visuals you see on my socials.

I'm able to write content this fast and protect my energy for the week because I used templates to learn how to write in my early days writing online.

It accelerated my writing chops like crazy.

And now I can write fast, spend time resting and put that rested energy into enjoying life.

Now, I can't manage your calendar.

But I can help you write faster.

I create the templates and send them to you:

Few months ago I discovered this app - Waze. It's unreal. no i'm not sponsored by waze. It's a Google Maps sat nav style app. Put your destination in and get the directions. Simple. (plus the little smiley logo is great) Except on Waze, people can upload incidents/things they come across on the road. e.g. if there's a speed camera van, you can click a button on the app and mark your position with a Police logo. Now anyone driving on that road knows there's a speed camera there. I'm not a...

I put podcasts on 1.5x speed when I run. I like to keep fit and healthy and I'm challenging myself to hit 100 runs in 2024. So I run about 3 x per week. But every time I run, I listen to a podcast and I put it on 1.5x speed. Why? Because time is of the essence. If I'm out running for 27-38 minutes and the podcast I'm listening to is 63 minutes long, I wanna be finishing it or at least listening to the bulk of it. So when I get home I can enjoy time at home with my wife. The same logic applies...
