"The market you pick and the waves you ride are more important than your execution."
Wrote some thoughts/reflections on picking markets, seeking waves, and why your market matters more than your hard work and execution.
Try starting the day (post sunlight viewing) w/1-3min of uncomfortably cold (yet safe) water exposure (shower or immersion to the neck). The research-supported benefits are significant & long lasting elevations in dopamine & adrenaline, & thereby elevated mood, alertness & focus.

Audible.
Massively increased the amount of books I could read and learn from. I listen when commuting, cooking, etc. Hugely increased my range of perspectives.

If you're a young dude and you feel lost/directionless..especially in terms of success
This is why. It comes down to 3 things
Brain Deficiency, Brain Addictions and Life Overcomplexity
Fix these...you'll likely figure out what you want and make it faster than you think. Thread
I wrote about my journey through the healthcare system & the massive opportunity for founders building in the alternative medicine + emerging therapies space.
TLDR: millions of patients are not being served by the system today & payers are taking notice

100%. I'm always surprised how few people realize this when hiring.
My favorite litmus test to see if you're hiring a sprinter is that if you tell them a problem your company's facing, they'll try to prototype a solution the same week.

I like voice journaling
Just record a quick voice note of what I'm thinking about - since I can speak my thoughts as they come to mind and it's easy to get started :)

I'm glad it's helpful so far!
I'm actually working on software to help me do it (goal is to make IFS on-demand and accessible) - do you think this could help?
@zebulgar
Kids are interested in jobs they're exposed to -- as a kid I wanted to be a Lego set designer+video game dev. Kids today watch YouTubers and TikTokers on their iPads.
I'd love to see scientists+engineers inspiring kids on these platforms, like sci-fi novels inspired many of them
@AyaOmokan
That's awesome about the 2 week streak! Congrats :D
I think it would be really cool if there was something like this for voice journaling, too. I'm imagining an app that can call you daily and ask you questions and encourage gratitude like the 5 minute journal.
@RawHeatG
@SwapAgarwal
I journal about things I'm grateful for, or whatever's on my mind if my mind is racing. I'll also journal if I'm trying to sort out my priorities and what to spend my time on.
working on an app to make it easier, if that's something you'd like to try
