I’ve just downed my third wheatgrass smoothie and according to my Pomodoro timer, my ice bath will be ready in 9 minutes, 13 seconds.

So there’s just enough time to dash out this blockbuster email packed with awesome hacks, tactics and advice.

Today I’m lasering in on productivity.

The truth is, I always get edgy when I come across a Dimstagram dimfluencer parroting their spiel about “10’xing your life” and the glory of the hustle & grind.

I was actually talking about this recently with my sleep consultant while we were slogging our way through a synchronised breathwork session.

He was basically saying that, more than ever, life seems to be a non-stop sprint of efficiency, optimisation and output. And in the midst of this we seem to have forgotten that rest is just as important as action and the journey is more important than the destination.

I actually thought this was an interesting point of view.

It reminded me of something I scribbled in my reflection journal after speed-reading Meditations by the Stoic philosopher Marcus Aurelius:

If you seek tranquillity, do less

As I left the breathwork studio, donned my blue light blocking sunglasses and grabbed an Uber to visit my habit formation specialist (she’s helping me optimise my chill factor), it dawned on me:

We need to be talking about this MORE!

So today, as I dictate this email into my noise-cancelling voice-memo app while I pound out a morning jogging meditation, I’m making a very special announcement.

From tomorrow, my daily email newsletter will no longer be a daily newsletter.

Instead, I’ll be sending out FIVE emails a day.

There’s so much to say about all this, so many performance boosters, wellness hacks, optimisation techniques and energy maximisation blueprints to share that I can’t possibly cram them all into just one email a day.

I’m not even sure if five emails a day will be enough.

But we’ll see. 

Anyway, I’m curious…

What more can we be doing? 

Hit reply, fire over your ideas and we’ll 10x this convo!

That’s it for today. I'm all out of time. 

To the ice bath!
