Episode notes
Use Short Spurts And Deep Recovery
- Structure intense work as short hard spurts followed by meaningful, multi-day recovery pockets.
- Block off time where you fully disconnect—place, people, and activities all matter for recovery.
Batch Content And Stay Ahead
- Work a full series ahead and batch content production to give ideas time to incubate.
- Produce fewer episodes overall so you don't live in constant urgency before each release.
Fill The Well With Small Inputs And People
- Feed your content well with short inputs: articles, quotes, and conversations, not just books.
- Surround yourself with people who consistently add value and challenge your thinking.
