Pomodoro sucks, here's what works instead
If you still think Pomodoro is the key to productivity, bro, I’m telling you right now — you’ve been lied to. All that 25 minutes on, 5 minutes off stuff? Useless. They sound productive, but they’re not built for you. Because here's the thing, bro: Your body already runs on a natural rhythm — it’s called the ultradian rhythm. It’s this built-in cycle that lasts about 90 to 120 minutes where your brain undergoes peak cognitive activity followed by a 20 minute trough. Basically, your brain has 90-120 minutes of peak focus until it needs at least a 20 minute break or rest. That means for about an hour and a half, you can lock in, bro. Full flow state. And you’ve probably felt it before without realizing it. Those days when you get lost in your work — two hours go by and it feels like what? Thirty minutes? That’s your ultradian rhythm and flow state at work. And those moments afterward when your brain feels foggy or your eyes start to tire — that’s the dip. That’s your body saying, ā€œI think it's time we take a break.ā€ I started following this rhythm about two years ago. I’d work with complete focus for just those 90 to 120 minutes — no distractions, no multitasking, nothing else. And after that, I’d just go outside. Sit in my backyard. Stare at the trees. Listen to the birds. Do nothing. It sounds kind of stupid at first — but that quiet time in nature does something. It's active recovery — giving your mind space to breathe, to process, to recover. And because of that, I’ve been able to get all my studying and homework done in just two hours a day. The truth is, you don’t need timers to tell you when to stop. Your body already knows. You just have to listen to it, bro. So forget Pomodoro, bro. Follow your body's rhythm. And watch how much deeper your focus gets.

@Andrew Neves I work best with just 90-120m cycles. The forced breaks within pomodoro usually break the flow states I experience. But for those just starting with improving productivity, it can help.

@Debbie H true that all people are different. thats why I stick to science cuz its the same for everyone (with a little variation). ultradian rhythms are often the most effective, but if you've tried those out for 1-2 weeks and it doesnt work, then your method might be best for you
You only fail if you quit, bro
Like actually think about that for a second. Have you ever heard of someone who kept showing up — kept trying — kept falling and still didn’t make it eventually? No, right? Because the people who succeed aren’t the smartest, or the luckiest — they’re just the ones who refused to stop. Failure isn’t real unless you make it permanent. You can fall a hundred times, but if you get up a hundred and one, you’re still moving forward. And every single time you rise, you come back stronger, smarter, more prepared for the next round. "What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger." But the people who quit — they don’t get that chance. They let one bad day define them. They let one setback become their story. And that’s where most people lose. Not because they didn’t have what it takes — but because they stopped before it all made sense. You’ve got to understand, bro — success isn’t some steady progress. It’s slow build, it's quiet. And then it's there all of a sudden. It’s all the tiny wins that nobody sees stacking on top of each other until one day it explodes. And that day? It’s only coming if you’re still playing the game. So yeah, it doesn’t matter how far you fall. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been stuck. What matters is how fast you stand back up and keep trying. Keep getting back up, bro. Keep failing. Keep learning. Keep fighting for the life you said you wanted. Because as long as you don’t quit — you literally can’t lose.
Why modern life is k*lling you (the EVM crisis)
Whether you know it or not, our generation is dying. This isn't some hyped up motivational video. It's based on the only truth in our world: science. Our generation is failing faster than ever. In fact, the more society develops, the weaker we become. And it's all because we're built for a world that no longer exists. Watch here

@Martyn Brown yes. when we realize we can control some things, we're more likely to act on it
Wanna know the fastest way to make progress bro?
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: ā€œIf you don’t cringe at your past self, then you haven’t grown.ā€ 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.

How to shock yourself out of a rut
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, ā€œWait… this is new.ā€ 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.
