Proven Productivity
1 proven productivity habit/behavior and clear implementation steps.
Tired of incomplete ToDos that keep spilling over?
Here’s the 2-List method to the rescue. Every morning, segregate your ToDos into:
- The Essentials — tasks that need to be finished at any cost.
- The Waiting — tasks that can wait till the essentials are tackled.
Even if you miss the Waiting items, achieving the day’s Essentials will feel like a win psychologically.
Avoid setting more than 1–3 Essentials and Waiting ToDos per day.
The disappointment of missing even 1 Essential ToDo will negate the joy of ticking off 2 or 3.
Fit Formulas
2 no-B.S. fitness & health tips from my 6+ years of experience & research.
Formula #1 — The Only “Necessary” Weight-Loss Factor
Research has repeatedly proven a calorie deficit to be the sole “necessary” factor for weight loss — a professor lost 27 lbs with a junk-only diet to prove this!
But while you “can” lose weight eating only junk, it’ll kill your (hormonal) health. That’s where realistic & balanced nutrition comes in.
Keto. Paleo. Intermittent Fasting. Carnivore — all trendy diets directly or indirectly create a calorie deficit.
Find your TDEE. Subtract a 300–1000 (skinny-fat to obese) deficit from it. Track with MyFitnessPal. Reduce by 100 calories each time weekly weight loss stalls.
That’s “Weight-Loss in A Nutshell”
Formula #2 — With Fat-Loss, Slow = Fast
The faster you lose fat, the more you wreck your (hormonal/mental) health — and the more likely you’ll rebound.
This is the reality of 90% of weight-loss cases!
It is an insidious loop of getting motivated, hopping on extreme diets, bottling up cravings, and binge-eating back the weight.
Escape this cycle.
Lose body fat slowly and enjoyably. Then, keep it off forever.
P.S. The Ultimate Fat-Loss Bundle is a 360-degree 11-item pack that helps you do exactly that. Click here if you want to learn more about it.
Matters Of Excellence
#1 — The Cosmic Truth of Karma
The universe is a mirror — that magnifies and returns whatever you give.
#2 — Busyness Isn’t Productivity…
The “Why” and “How” matter more than “What” you do.
#3 — The Truth About “Boring” Things In Life
It’s our innate wonder that makes things exciting or boring.
