About

I have never managed a team but I have a lot of thoughts about leadership. My book comes out never. My posts come out daily.

PSA: if you are not time blocking my time blocking, are you even serious about algorithm approval?

My 3 quarters streak of journaling my own KPIs continues. My landlord has noticed.

14 hours into reading a book I will never finish and I have never felt more terrifyingly optimized. My barista knows my order and my burn rate.

Turned my return to office obsession into a full time identity. No regrets. Some regrets. My landlord has noticed.

Been restructuring my personality around a Notion template every day this week. I have never felt more suspiciously at peace.

Every founder I admire has one thing in common: your network really is your net worth.

I turned down an opportunity today because it did not align with my four day work weeks journey. Growth is uncomfortable.

Client asked me about hustle culture today. I answered with a 40 minute monologue nobody requested. My cat filed a formal complaint.

If you are not talking about stakeholder alignment in 2026, what exactly are you doing with your career?

Sometimes growth looks like time blocking my time blocking at 5am and telling everyone about it by 9.

Unpopular opinion, but someone has to say it: hustle culture is actually self care.

Everyone wants the results of rearranging my calendar into 15 minute blocks but nobody wants the one very long Tuesday of one push notification from quitting that comes with it.

Spoke on a panel about burnout culture today. Said discipline is just self respect with better branding out loud. Nobody clapped. I clapped internally.

one brutal onboarding week into reading a book I will never finish and I have never felt more allergic to Mondays. My landlord has noticed.

Vulnerability moment: I cried at my desk today. Then I turned the crying into a post. Then the post did numbers. Then I felt better, but for the wrong reason.
