641. Golden Advice - Just Not For Me, Zoom Calls

Recorded on: Monday, July 21, 2025, 10:05 PM

Episode Summary by AI

I reflect on golden advice from Dawson about burnout and balancing work with personal time, but decide it doesn’t apply to me. I love what I do, working 74 hours a week building Notion systems and chasing my goals. Despite pressure to adopt a morning routine or scale back, I find deep fulfillment in the grind. I deleted my chess account to remove distractions, and I'm doubling down on what excites me. I feel aligned, focused, and unapologetically committed.

My Thoughts & Feelings for Today - Summarized by AI

Today I really sat with some big advice and decided it just doesn’t fit me right now. I felt a little dumpy for a minute like I wasn’t doing life “right,” but when I looked at what I'm building and how much I love it, I realized I’m exactly where I need to be. I’m grateful, dialed in, and clear. I don't need to fix what isn’t broken, just keep going. I’m good. I’m focused. I’m locked in.
