As some of you might know, I grew up with ADD, but only got diagnosed around age 21. That meant that during primary school and high school I struggled a lot with staying focused at school. But I didn't know why and I didn't know how to deal with the problem. I did okay in school, but it took a lot of effort, specifically for maths and science lessons. Today I am truly grateful for my ADD and the way my brain works, I have learned how to deal with it and how to optimise my day for maximum efficiency. I have 3 simple rules that I live by and that have helped my tremendously over the years to increase my productivity and enjoyment in everything I do. 𝟭) 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝗳𝘂𝗻 I genuinely hate doing admin work. But it's what keeps you in business, so even if you hate it, it still needs to be done. So one day I asked myself "How can I make this more fun?". So I put on my headphones and started playing some of my favourite Lord of The Rings and Harry Potter soundtracks in the background. There something about putting on headphones that allow me to block out distractions instantly and those soft, epic and magical tunes in the background that sweep me into flow state. I now have an 18 hour long playlist with all kinds of cinematic music and music from artists like Ludovico Einaudi, etc. 𝟮) 𝗗𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝗺𝗽 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 This one speaks for itself and you might be thinking DUH. But you would be surprised at how often you get interrupted by random thoughts, other people, notifications, ... and how long it takes you to return to your flow state. Besides turning notifications off and letting people know that they can't disturb you, if for example you're wearing your headphones. One other cure for this is a concept that's called "Timeboxing". I've learned about timeboxing from Nir Eyal (writer of "Indistractable"). And it essentially says that you should do batch work as much as possible and at the right timing.

The replay is live, and WOW what a workshop! @Fernando Gonzalez shared things like: - How to build AI agents with OpenClaw - How to use AI securely (protecting your privacy and avoiding prompt injections) - Real use cases for AI agents in your business AND your personal life - And a whole lot more This one had some serious gems. Worth the watch even if you caught it live. What AI questions do you have for Fernando? Drop them in the comments.

Hey Founders Guild friends. I am writing a book (well, because inspiration comes out of necessity right?) I have 2 surveys that I wrote and would love some feedback from you. I want to make sure the book isn't just my opinion and my stories. Click the words Survey One or Survey Two to reach the Google Survey. Survey One is for any medical personnel such as Doctors/Nurses/etc Survey Two is for non-medical persons who have a medical experience they want to share. Your insight could help someone else navigate the world of medicine that we live in through this book. Thanks in advance 🙏🥰
