Short and actionable productivity advice to read in 2 minutes or less. Here’s how to live happier, healthier and more efficiently.

my second brain

if you had to guess,
how much information do you concisely take in every day?
how about every week?
every month?

the books you read,
the articles you glance over,
the podcasts you half listen to,
the courses you watch and take notes on,

or even that comment someone posted on reddit, that made you stop in your tracks a second too long.

where does all of this information go?
what do you do with it?

does it help you lead a more fulfilling and productive life? or does it weigh you down?

do you put it to use?
does it inspire you enough to take action?

there’s an explosion of online content, how do you filter, curate and analyze it?

the sheer volume of information we now need just do our jobs, or to manage our households is not enough for one brain to handle,
so I’m building a second one.

what day is it

the average human lifespan is 80 years.

that’s 4174.29 weeks
that’s 29220 days

I keep a calendar that tells me the day of the year for three reasons:

  1. reminder to keep with my goals and deadlines
  2. motivation to make the most out of life
  3. gratitude to have lived thus far

the second we are born, the sand of time stops moving in our favor…

and it’s only when I realized that there is, indeed, a last time for everything, is when I started showing up for my own life.

it’s comforting to know nothing lasts forever, yet horrifying that nothings stays.

I hope this stays.

who writes blog posts anymore?

everyone, apparently…
the next logical question then becomes – who reads all of these blog posts?
well, that’s between site owners and their google analytics dashboard.

“blogging is dead” goes around as many times as the moon goes around the earth, it seems.
the 30 million bloggers in the US seem to have missed this memo…
I, however, received it, and aggressively chose to ignore it.

according to the internet, Mark Twain once said, “I didn’t have time to write you a short letter, so I wrote you a long one.”

these daily brain pickings are a selfish attempt to write something good enough to last after I die, in a short and focused format.
they’re part diary, part personal development, part business advice, I’ve no doubt you’ll find it of use…

I’ll see you tomorrow.

today is day 173 of the year, there are 192 days remaining of 2022.
