Focus On High Return Activities

We don’t have a lot of time. Yesterday’s type of riddled issue was a living testimony to the melting ice cube that is our time.

So how do we do more with less? We need to look for high-return activities to create what I like to call “collapsing wave functions.” Let me explain.

Some activities create more work. A baby creates 18 years of legal obligations. (Much love to my parents in the audience. I still think your kid is adorable”)

Other activities make another subtask redundant; Create flows ins power to automate important activities like auto bill pay and auto email responses.

Like microwaving a potato (which I just learned this week is possible without setting off a bomb in your kitchen), our primary objectives shouldn’t be to “make more money.” We should organize our activities into multiple project-based sprints to recapture our time and create disproportionate returns on our invested time and energy.

This newsletter is my disproportionate investment. I will continue delivering the latest on tech, mental health, and venture capital while carefully curating select products and brands I believe into you. It works because we all, myself included, are triggered by what we see on tv and computer screens as our minds attribute meaning to words and images.

Money has turned into a game of who can better precisely trigger emotions from other humans with computer LEDs and sound waves. And I am not going to lie, James Cameron got some tears out of me with Avatar - Way Of the water. (I see you too, Lo’ak!)

Don’t worry. I’m not here to make you cry; my goal is to inspire, motivate, and keep you informed. Today’s challenge is to think of a way to cut the time horizon for your February goals down by 10. If you’re thinking, “Hendy, it’s impossible because of XYZ,” Please see the photo below. See you tomorrow.
