• Bias reaction muscle and scheduled post

    This is a 3 minute clip of Chris Koerner on The Diary Of A CEO sharing to act on the curiosity in the least amount of time possible. I enjoyed his way to phrase “strengthen the bias reaction muscle”. It reminds me of the fear, sweaty palm, hearing my own heartbeat when posting my first…


  • Keeping a prompt library

    Spending time on finding the AI chat from 2 weeks ago is the worse experience. I found two ways to make that more manageable.  1. For long and deep dive threads, rename the chat, even pin for quick access.   2. For repeated prompts, Keep a prompt library.  A copy of my prompt library.


  • Start from the least scary one

    From loc 93 of War of Art highlight: Remember our rule of thumb: The more scared we are of a work or calling, the more sure we can be that we have to do it. That being the direction, the execution reminds me of Dave Ramsey’s debt snowball method. Start with the least effort or…


  • The heroic SKIP button

    If I press the button, it will be heroic. The world will not celebrate me, but I will celebrate myself mentally. I’ll give myself an hustle badge and it will greatly boost my ego. I will tank earlier too, not likely to have enough for the afternoon in this new schedule (URL). So rest is…


  • Not finish a book

    Two books I did not finish recently and the reason. Why do I feel obligated to finish a book? But a book is an idea, and idea doesn’t always translate for everyone. At 35, I think there’s no guilt in that; although at times I imagine myself to have to like it.


  • Gamification and doing hard things

    Millie’s turning 5, school began to teach numbers and alphabets. I found this as an opportunity to learn to do hard things. Every time she writes from 1 to 50, a box is slashed, she accumulates 4 minutes of iPad or Switch time to redeem. It works for adults too. What’s that one anticipation we…


  • Writing in a to-do app

    I’m a great procrastinator. I paid for Bluehost, I switched to Hostinger. I changed a dozen or so themes. But I avoided the thing that should be done: to write. I began to write on TickTick and reached 22 straight days. I found writing in my todo list to be a tactical move stay away…


  • Wispr Flow (or other AI voice-to-text apps)

    I discovered this from Tiago Forte’s YouTube video. The benefits are immediate. The opposite takes a few weeks to realize.


  • Motion drives emotion

    The word ’emotion’ includes the word ‘motion’, it’s 6 out of the 7 characters. I think this implies 80% action and 20% feeling. Unfortunately, we often flip the ratio when things get hard. If I treat myself as a business, a restaurant. Does a bad review make me feel bad? Yes. And nervous, angry, defensive,…


  • Resistance as a proxy

    I am guilty for narcissistically attaching the work I do with who I am. When things go well, my ego drives the motivation. When things doesn’t, I procrastinate and tries to hide it. I am not consistent. The War of Art redefined being professional and Resistance became the proxy. Resistance is always in the middle…
