I have always loved building systems. At 24 y/o, I built a small video game for fun.

AI can fastrack your front‑end development skills.

I built my client‑workflow site in Bubble, but the UI lacked flair.

To grab attention and funnel visitors to the main app, I hunted for an AI builder and picked GitHub Spark—a tool that spins up sleek React/TypeScript projects.

Capture on your smartphone everything that comes into your mind.

You need an easy way to do that on your Smartphone.

I recommend using Google Tasks for this.

Stop switching from Todolist to Agenda, get them on one single page.

ChatGPT is a disruption for skill acquisition.
It took me 10 years to become expert in Excel VBA (automation) thanks to Google Search.
It took me 2 years to become expert in Notion thanks to Google Search.
It took me 6 months to become expert in .NET, C# and Azure with ChatGPT.

What is IKIGAI?

It’s finding the intersection between:
What you love, you have the skill, you can monetize and it serves the world.

It is always presented like one thing. But you can have many IKIGAIs.

So focus on finding the best one.

I found mine: building Notion systems.

A few times a day check the list that you have captured on your Smartphone.

Decide what you want to do with each item: Do I do it today? in the near future? or later?

You need an easy way to see on your laptop what you have captured on your smartphone.

Use Notion for this.

Ditch your Todolist app and move into the magical world of Notion and Notion Calendar.

Have your Todolist and Agenda on the same page and boost your productivity!

“Would you rather retire at 40 with $500,000 or at 60 with $5 million? ⏳💸”

I have seen this recently on Threads.

My reply:
I am going for the latter but it won't be retirement, something better called financial freedom.
I don't want to stop at 5M and I love my craft.

Split your time in categories.

Track your time multiple times on one single task.
That is feasible in Notion.

Don’t drown in your Todolist but don’t drown in your Agenda neither.

Each morning, review the Todolist of things you need to do for the day.

If a task is 30 minutes or more, move it to your Agenda.
If a task is less than 30 minutes, leave it in your Todolist.

Time-box your Todo-lists.

The main problem with a todo-list app is that the list never seems to end 👇

I don’t use Google Search anymore. I only use ChatGPT:
4o for simple/medium searches
o3 for complex searches and code assistance

Don’t think that doing sports is the only thing to do.

Eating the right way is as important.

EAT BALANCED
Chose the right ingredients that work for you.
Avoid taking too much sugar.

EAT SLOWLY
We eat fast by default.
B mindful to eat slowly.
If improves your digestion.
