Free, private, insightful, and published with the blessing of the YearCompass creators.
Let me tell you about it 👇

.@DavidNebinski recently hosted me for an OKR workshop, and did something subtle that had a profound effect on the conversation.
During our setup, he noticed a book on my bookshelf and asked about it. We began discussing books we'd been reading...

Do platforms like Etsy, Shopify, or Airbnb primarily serve buyers or sellers?
For businesses that facilitate transactions or connect multiple parties, deciding on a primary customer presents a critical challenge...

This week I tried to grow my businesses while preparing to go to Guadeloupe.
So, how did I do?
1. 🤔 Setup a community space for Covoy's 2nd cohort
2. ✅ Reach out to 10+ startup CEOs for OKR coaching
3. ✅ Pack for our trip to Guadeloupe

Heading out for a run with the exercise lover at the helm (rather than the reluctant runner) feels way more exhilarating.

@ndwignall Thank you!! A lot of procrastination articles focus on behavioral tactics rather than dealing with the emotional causes. Really appreciated your analysis and advice.

As someone with a tendency to procrastinate, I loved @ndwignall's "4 Simple Steps to Stop Procrastinating".
"Behind every struggle with procrastination is a difficult emotion handled poorly."

Exciting news! We just kicked off our first 20-person cohort!
They set big goals, wrote action plans, and found an inspiring community. Now they have a team to ensure they reach those goals.

Most people f*ck up New Year’s resolutions.
And it’s because they don’t understand how goals work.
Goals are a combo of direction & discipline and few people know how to get both right.
Direction without discipline = running in place
Discipline without direction = running aimlessly
Discipline + direction = running to a destination
To make sure I actually hit my 2024 goals, I’m doing this awesome program called Covoy that a buddy (@evanhammer) started.
It combines goal-setting with group accountability to make sure I actually have a chance of crushing my crazy goals.

@businessbarista Glad you had such a profound experience! It's amazing how human beings respond to being around other human beings.

I’ve been an amazing procrastinator for 10+ years.
And I’ve tried just about everything to be less distractible & more focused.
Website disabler.
Dumb phone.
Todo list.
Wife given passcode.
Timeblocking.
Pomodoro.
None of it worked.
But in the last week I found my crystal key.
I shit you not my procrastination is down >90%.
I started doing virtual coworking through a site called @focusmate.
1) I pick a 30-75 min block for deep work
2) Focusmate pairs me with a buddy
3) The block starts, we both show up on video, state our goals, and get to work. Cameras stay on, mics muted.
4) While working we can type in the chat as we complete tasks
5) At the end of the block we share how it went and what we accomplished
To some, this may sound crazy.
But it works…mainly because of this concept called body-doubling…
This idea that by having a friend or partner who works simultaneously, either IRL or virtually, productivity goes up.
Lots of theories for why it works (dopamine, mirror neurons, Hawthorne effect, etc), but all I can say is it just does.
Plus, meeting people from all over the world working on interesting things has been an cool added benefit.
P.S. I’m not paid by/affiliated with the company. I just want more people to have a holy shit moment like I did.
