I’m a system of systems. Here they are:

  1. my brain

    1. functions analogous to generative AI, i can respond and access prompts based on my already trained model (I’m 25 years old. there’s some archives there re: crystallized knowledge).

      1. thus i have to be particularly careful how / what i feed it.

    2. I’m pretty big into brain waves and state engineering. for example, I try to maximize capturing / thoughts about a task when. i am stuck with physioloigcal relaxation (warm shower, drive with no destination, laid out on a couch with a blanket). When my synapses fire between alpha and theta waves … a large amount of ideas come through.

    3. beta waves and focus … we try to put deep work here.

  2. extra steps for walking

    1. weighted vest

    2. under desk treadmill, standing desk

      1. walk while playing video games w/ friends ( like rocket league). good for something immersive and less thought work so you can be in a flow state of just doing things. hard to do things that require lots of thoughts as biomechanics become a bit annoying.

  3. Second brain - obsessed with this.

    1. quick capture notes

      1. iphone widget

      2. my brain has inspiration strike quite frequently in short burts.

      3. commitments, tasks,

    2. proper folder / filing system

    3. reminder and scheduling systems

      1. Google calendar. phenomenal.

      2. calendly pro subscription

    4. voiceliner ios app

  4. My workspace setup

    1. macbook pro

      1. M1 chip - fast processing

      2. big screen, high resolution with good refresh rate. can also position computer a bit farther away from me so I can use keyboard/mice well.

      3. magic keyboard 2 and MX master 3 mac version mouse.

  5. Tech stack or product tools

    1. Notion

    2. Notes icloud

    3. Calendly

    4. Otter.ai

    5. Quillbot.ai

    6. squarespace

    7. figma

    8. naturalreader

    10. Socials and messaging: facebook, messenger, linkedin, instagram, twitter, whatsapp, signal, viber, discord, slack, superhuman, gmail

  6. Useful things in my life:

    1. apple airtags on my keys, backpack.

    2. iphone wallet leather case

    3. nutribullet blender - love this thing. I have organic plant based protein power with superfoods, athletic greens
