I’m Writing Daily Again. It’s Hard, But I Love It.

July 28, 2025 No Comments

So you’re telling me that I can come up with ideas, tell it to my computer, and poof… it will give me a fully written article with perfectly articulated ideas.

That’s what most of us think about AI.

And unfortunately, a lot of people are using AI like that. The other day I was talking to a friend who’s a physiotherapist. He said, “I used ChatGPT to write a bunch of social media posts and I’m ready to publish them.”

He asked for tips on writing content with AI. I said, “I basically use AI for everything digital except writing content.“

That’s because every other person is already using ChatGPT for their content. So what does that say about you if you also use it?

A dime a dozen.

How I Cured My Back Pain

July 21, 2025 No Comments

I’ve dealt with back pain since I was 15 years old. A basketball injury left me with chronic lower back issues, and for years I cycled through chiropractors, stretching routines, and physical therapy without lasting relief.

In 2020, I wrote an article talking about how daily stretching and flexibility helped me feel “99% pain-free.” It was true at the time, but it didn’t last.

Fast forward to 2023. My back pain resurfaced after a hectic travel schedule and renovating my apartment. All the stretching that previously helped suddenly did nothing. This time was different. The pain was intense, constant, and mentally draining.

Dealing With Annoying, Mean, and Impolite People

July 14, 2025 No Comments

The other day, a person emailed me and called me out on Twitter because he found a typo in my book.

He was seriously angry. “What the hell man?” He wrote. And then he went on talking about how I should read my own books and that I’m a bad writer.

I told him to screw himself and get away from his bedroom, hating on people through his keyboard.

You know, it’s just like dealing with an impolite or aggressive person at work or in daily life. There are A LOT of mean people in the world. Since I often get questions from friends and readers about how I deal with them, let me share that here.

First, I want to share this quote with you from Marcus Aurelius from 2000 years ago:

10 Things I Learned From a Decade of Doing 1 Thing

July 7, 2025 No Comments

On July 7, 2015, I hit “publish” on a simple and short post about the power of saying no.

I had just quit my corporate job, owned nothing but a laptop, and figured I had exactly zero reputation to lose by thinking out loud on the internet.

Ten years, hundreds of articles, ten books, and millions of readers later, that single decision has paid the kind of compound interest no spreadsheet can capture. It taught me that mastery is less about talent and more about what you choose to do repeatedly.

A decade of doing one thing has burned certain truths into my muscle memory. Truths that matter whether you’re coding apps, raising kids, or trying to keep a side hustle alive after your 9-5.

What follows are the ten lessons that actually moved the needle for me. They’re simple enough to remember on your own journey. I hope this is helpful.
