Document it. I’m not joking. Journal about every single thing that happens in your life — the progress you make, the events you experience, the little stories you go through. A few days ago, I went back and read my old journals from when I first started self-improvement. And bro… I started cringing so hard at who I used to be. But here’s the thing: that’s actually a good sign. There’s this quote I love: “If you don’t cringe at your past self, then you haven’t grown.” The stuff I used to do back then was so stupid. But when I looked back and cringed, I realized something… I’ve grown. I’ve made actual progress. Because what gets measured gets managed. So document your progress. Journal about your life as much as you can. Doesn’t have to be crazy — I usually just do it once a day. But the more you do it, the faster you’ll grow.

Stuck in a rut and want to get out as fast as possible? I’ve got a simple solution. I was recently on a call with a client who told me he stopped feeling productive. No school, so no structure — and he just slipped straight into a rut. I gave him one single piece of advice that completely shifted everything for him: change your environment. Here’s why this works. Our brains love novelty. When we see something new, our brain releases dopamine — the molecule of motivation. And when dopamine goes up, motivation follows. So your environment is more powerful than you think, bro. Different environment = more novelty = more dopamine = more motivation. What I told him was simple: change up your desk setup. Move things around. Add something new. Change your space so your brain says, “Wait… this is new.” That’s enough to trigger a slow dopamine rise — and enough to pull you out of the rut. Now, you do have to put in effort after that, otherwise you'll stay stuck. And if you want help with that, DM me. So if you’re stuck, don’t overthink it. Change your environment. Give novelty a try.

I’m not joking. What I like to do from time to time is visualize myself transferring $10k straight to my parents. I don’t even know if that’s possible… but it works. Because when you visualize success, your brain treats it like it’s actually happening. It starts pumping dopamine because it thinks, “Oh wait, we’re achieving this. We’re getting there.” And then every time you revisit that vision, every time you replay that dream in your head, you feel that surge of motivation to actually do the work. That’s the trick — don’t imagine achieving the goal. Imagine the RESULT of the goal. For me, it’s sending $10k to my parents. For you, maybe it’s buying your first car, moving into your own place, or giving back to someone you love. Visualize the exact situation of how success will change your life… and use that to fuel your progress. So. To really make this effective, reply by describing your RESULT in as much detail as possible. See how that gets you hyped.

I was on a call with a client the other day, and he told me he wanted to study for his exams. He’s covered all the content, he’s got the techniques down, he wakes up at the right time… but he still didn’t know what else to do. So I told him straight up: bro, you’ve done everything. You literally know the Feynman technique, you know Pomodoro's shit, you know how to enter flow state. You’ve got it all. But he didn’t trust me. He still said, “But… I feel like there’s more to it.” That’s analysis paralysis. You analyze every possible scenario, think through every possible solution, and even when you know all the right answers — you still don’t act. You still think you’re not doing enough. And honestly, I get it. Because I’ve been there. Recently, I was stuck in the exact same rut. I knew what to do, I knew how to get out, but I still couldn’t pull myself out. Here’s the thing: you can’t trust yourself when you’re in that place. That’s literally the trap. You’ve got too much knowledge, too many tools, too many options… and it turns into paralysis. The only solution? Get a mentor. Stop listening to your own thoughts and follow someone else’s advice blatantly. Don’t hesitate, don’t second guess, don’t overthink. Just trust someone. I did that with my friend, and he got me out almost immediately. So pick someone you respect, someone who’s a few steps ahead of you, and blindly follow their advice. That’s how you break out. If you want me to be that mentor, just DM me the word “mentor.” But honestly, whether it’s me or someone else, the important thing is that you get the fuck out of your head and start following a path already made for you. Because overthinking won’t save you. But a mentor will.

We’ve all had those days bro. It’s another painful Tuesday… not even halfway into the week. I’m walking home in 80 degree weather, complaining why I didn’t fill my water bottle. And I reach home, put my bag down next to my desk, and try sitting down at my desk. But the second I sit down, the fatigue hits. I just wanna sleep. Unfortunately, my math teacher had other plans, assigning me 30 questions due by the next day. So, while I’m sitting there struggling to solve my trig questions, my brain’s complaining about why it can’t take a nap. Now, if only, there was something — some insanely useful tool, that could quite literally, SHOCK YOU into focus. 📌 Enter: Cold Showers I’m sure we’ve all heard about this: - cold showers trigger the SNS (sympathetic nervous system) - release (nor)epinephrine → alertness & focus - increase cerebral (brain) blood flow → more nutrients to brain - release endorphins (natural mood elevators) And before you say: but I already do cold showers. Hold up, bro. You might not actually be getting the full benefits of them. Because there’s a specific method to be able to get this heightened state of productivity. Listen, bro. You can’t just start the water off warm and slowly make it cold. That won’t work. And you can’t just keep the water cold enough to the point where it’s slightly uncomfortable. There’s only one way: 1. Turn the water to the coldest setting 2. Get in immediately. 3. Stay for ~10 seconds to 10 minutes. 4. Turn it off, dry yourself, and get to work as fast as possible. Like I said bro, this is like an instant shock. In just 10 seconds, you can shock yourself into focus. So this is what I used on those painfully hot, tiring days where I just wanna take a nap.
