The Mistakes I've Made in the Past Year (So You Can Avoid Them)
Burnout doesn’t just drain your energy—it drains your wallet. Over the past year, I wasted $10K–$15K on courses, coaching, and tools I wasn’t even ready for. Not because they were bad, but because I invested at the wrong time.

Are ‘Productivity’ Tools Actually Killing Your Productivity?

In this post, we’re breaking down exactly why most productivity apps fail—and more importantly, how to fix it using Notion. If you’re tired of tools that create more chaos than clarity, let’s build a system that actually works for YOU.

Ever tried time blocking, Pomodoro timers, or strict morning routines—only to find they don’t actually make you more productive? Spoiler: it’s not you, it’s the system.

In this post, we’re breaking down three major productivity myths that are keeping you stuck—and showing you how to build systems that actually work for you. Get ready to ditch the generic hacks and start optimizing for execution, efficiency, and sustainable success.
