Health
- Stealth 250 – I’m going into the office ~3 days a week which greatly limits my ability to use my little workout toy in little moments during the work day. I am quite dedicated to fitness but don’t think bringing this toy with me to the office gives off the right professional consulting vibe.
- Get average steps back to over 7000 – Right now my average steps a day are just under 5000 and I want to get that back to a consistent 7000 where I was a month or two ago. 10,000 feels unrealistic given my current life.
- Continued Headspace streak – I’m currently sitting on a 47 day headspace streak which is probably closer to 60 but honeymoon threw off my streak. I usually listen to 5-10 minutes per day during a walk or in the elevator and it has been really helpful to my mental health
- Stretching and chiropractor progress – Been seeing a chiropractor 2-3x a week and have a stretching program that is 5-10 minutes a day that feels palatable. I’ve gotten better at bite sizing these into something digestible
Wealth
- Hire assistant – I have been wanting to hire someone to help me with various personal life non work things for years and the burden of hiring has always pushed it to the backburner. I’ve been fortunate to work with the folks at Sagan to help with the process and I have final candidates that I feel good about. I’m not leveraging my time enough and this should help.
- Onboard assistant – Once I find someone I want to spend significant time getting them up to cruising altitude. Recognizing half the effort is getting them familiar with me and my world I have started gathering materials to make sure they understand me and the north stars. Sagan provides some phenomenal trainings I’ve been taking.
Everything Else
- Phone distance – I’m averaging ~6 hours of phone time per day which is gross to me. A good chunk of it is productive stuff like work, whoop, gympass, emails but a large chunk is social media. Now that I’m going into the office more frequently I want to get better at keeping my phone in my bag or away for me during the day.
- Experiment with more AI tools – Been getting better at working AI both into my working life flow as well as personal life. Plan on diving deeper into:
- Perplexity – loving my pro subscription and participation in their fellowship
- Fyxxer – Want to try this AI inbox management tool and see if its worth its stuff
- AI Studio – Plan on shoving all my health data into google AI studio or Perplexity studio and seeing what I can learn
- Cursor
- Replit
- Morning stuff – getting better at having some time for myself before starting the work day. Has gotten a little complicated with frequent visits to client office but that’s mostly an excuse I should be able to overcome
- Figure out birthday trip – Currently swirling on where our next trip should be. Torn between Europe, Central/LatAm, Carribbean and/or a cruise. Will have 3-5 days around July 4th. Using perplexity has been fun to experiment options
