  • High-performing, fit and focused nomads: here's what they eat.

    TUNE IN TO LEARN:
    A very recent interview I did with a very productive, high-performing digital nomad, designer, and evangelist for designing a holistic, well-rounded, location-independent career and lifestyle that seamlessly merge - when you don't need a vacation from work, it's part of life.
    No high performer leaves food to chance or thinks about every meal.
    Here's what I found many productive and fit nomads do - a very simple food routine that travels and keeps your brain focused on the important.

  • Caffeine: focus or anxiety❓Dose matters. My personal hacks to adjust your caffeine dose to work for you - you don't have to quit, the best is in the middle.

    TUNE IN TO LEARN:
    Did you know they use caffeine to induce anxiety in people for studies? No wonder you might feel stressed as well!
    But they use a very specific dose. But your anxiety/caffeine threshold might be different. Here's how to figure out your ideal, "get focused" but calm dose. 2 hacks that I've been using at hone and in the coffee shops.

  • ONE question: consistency with exercise and not wasting time on the unimportant. Ask this first.

    TUNE IN TO LEARN:
    I talked to many people last week, founders, entrepreneurs, they all said the same thing - when things get hard and challenging, they ask this question. This question also helps them to make decisions very fast and simple, so you don't waste your time on things that don't really matter. Time and energy are limited, we have one life - I invite you to look at your calendar often with THIS question. Especially each Monday.

  • Brain on Alcohol: gut, stress and dumber you. And how finishers don't get stuck on long-term projects.

    TUNE IN TO LEARN:
    🍷You and Alcohol - not a good story. 7 drinks per week will do that. Poor gut health, less confident, anxious, with a smaller brain you. And it's just as bad as smoking (maybe even worse I'd argue). The choice is yours - how will YOU write your story in this world❓

    🧠"LEAVE IT UNFINISHED" - might be the most controversial anti-procrastination brain tool that all long-term thinkers and doers with 10-year visions do unconsciously.
