My first digital product goes beyond a simple template and is a complete Notion Starter Kit While there are so many templates and YouTube videos on how to set up a Life Operating System (LOS), I am convinced that there are always new audiences to reach. In my pursuit of helping others chart their own course through coaching and community feedback, I thought a great place to start would be to productize the Notion Life Operating System I developed over the last few years.

Edge Homepage – Image by Microsoft Microsoft’s relationship with web browsers has been tumultuous over the last two and a half-decade. I have used almost all browsers: Tor, Brave, Internet Explorer, Edge, Firefox, and Chrome. While I shifted away from Microsoft’s browser the last 5 years, I was recently re-introduced to MS Edge, and it may be my new go-to browser for some of my key activities.

Creating work-life balance with mental state triggers I have only sat in the same office as my manager for five months in the last four years. My teams have always stretched across the globe, and I have travelled a lot. But until recently, I wasn’t spending too much time developing my business, so there was less of a need to isolate my corporate work life. But since starting this new brand, my thoughts often jump between creating product plans for my corporate gig and my bran

I stopped chasing an all-in-one solution and instead built a stack of the best tools for the job. I was always trying to find the best way to squeeze my whole life into one application. While I honestly believe the more connections built in a Life Operating System (LOS), the better, I felt I was constantly pushing the boundaries of tools too far, trying to get them to be all-in-one systems. Therefore, I decided to drop the assumption that one app can cover the entirety of lif

Life Operating System Step 1, Feelings over Ferraris Are you a visual person too? I have always known I am a visual person. If you are like me, you prefer fleshing out ideas on a whiteboard rather than a Word document. So when it came to designing my Life Operating System (LOS) a few years ago, I knew that I needed something visual ? to roll my life progression up into. This picture would always serve to answer the question, ‘Why do this?’. Visualization’s (e.g. vision boards

2-Layer Goal Setting Framework for Your Life Whether you are looking for a way to plan out your life, or run a more efficient team in your work, the Objective & Key Result (OKR) framework might be the next concept you can utilize for better results. What is an OKR? Setting goals and targets predate the giant corporations of today. Ever since someone wanted to be better than they were yesterday, they likely used one of the thousands of goal setting strategies available or simp

Why Saturday is a better rest day than Sunday I sit here on Sunday evening having emptied about half my energy tank today. I feel great; I am ready to take on Monday tomorrow head-on with full steam at 5 am. How do I have this feeling? By trying a new practice: using Saturday as a rest day instead of Sunday. I have found that I can increase productivity on the most important planning day of the week, and I thin you can too! How did Sunday become the typical day of rest? I gre

The Top 4 Modules in a Life Operating System A Day Job Inspiration For almost a decade, I have been on a personal journey of improvement and mindful development. I was getting things done, as they say, but I was flying from the seat of my pants, taking random courses, building random skills, losing engagement with personal stakeholders as I struggled to manage an increasing network, etc. So, I asked myself, ‘How can I make my personal development more productive?’.
