Content Is Energy

by

When Jay-Z met Linkin Park for the first time, they made “Numb / Encore.”

On YouTube alone, the song has more than 100,000,000 plays (over a hundred, or maybe thousand, from me).

There was something so cool to see how the music got made. At that moment, they were making something that would change lives.

That’s when it hit me…

Music is energy.

Jay-Z and Linkin Park were bottling up their energy. So the world could hear it.

Which made me realize that all content is energy. 

YouTube videos, podcasts, tweets. It’s all energy.

This post is energy.

Let it fuel you to conquer any challenge ahead.

Full Screen Mode

by

A computer is a distraction device.

You can text, work, play, listen to music, Google anything you want…

The potential is infinite.

What’s the problem?

Our mind can only do one thing at a time.

That’s why I use full screen mode. There are no tabs. There is no search bar. There is nothing that can take you away from your focus.

It tricks the monkey mind into believing, for just a moment, that the computer’s only function is what’s directly in front of you.

It sounds crazy…

But give it a try and let me know how it goes.

Yoga Feels Right

by

Yoga is difficult and uncomfortable.

In the moment? It sucks.

But afterward? It feels right.

After you finish a session, your body and mind are nourished. They thank you for what you’ve done. Ringing out your spine. Putting yourself through some brief period of stress.

It’s always worth it.

(Here are my favorite routines.)

Wake Up Earlier

by

Today, I woke up at 6 AM for the first time in a while.

It is currently 3:35 PM as I type this. I’ve gotten as much done today as I normally would have in two full days.

Here are some of the benefits:

  • Gets you on offense to start the day
  • More time to do stuff
  • Makes you more tired at the end of the day

I think I’ll continue to do this.
