The One Habit That Makes My Day 10x More Productive Up till 15 months ago, I used to work as an oral surgeon. Naturally, I was used to working a day that was thoroughly scheduled, sometimes even weeks in advance After a huge fight with my business-partner and a LOT of emotional distress, I quit But I didn't just quit a job, I quit a whole career A career that I had built for over 12 years👨🏼‍⚕️ When I transitioned from "teeth to tech", I felt relieved Not only from the constant stress of finishing my surgeries on time, but also from the time constraints and schedules that were forced upon me After some time of working when and where I pleased, I was mostly happy with the results: I had built a fully fledged, code-only, business website for myself using python/flask app, javascript, html and css within just 6 weeks Only 6 months before that I had absolutely no idea what those languages even were. I was still pulling wisdom teeth then Now, I was a tech guy. 👨🏼‍💻🥷🏼 But my work output wasn’t always consistent and after a while it dawned on me: I needed MORE structure. In fact, I needed a schedule - again! I experimented a lot with scheduling out my week. Setting up "deep work" blocks and other, rather "mellow work" blocks. The problem, though, was that those blocks were recurring And like all things that once were new and shiny, they soon become boring So after some time I wouldn’t stick as closely to my schedule any more and I would rather decide in the moment what I wanted to work on I noticed that there was a huge gap of understanding between On-Top-Of-Things-Tilmann (OTOTT) who plans stuff ahead vs. present-moment-Tilmann (PMT) (Yes, I totally just came up with this!) Now, after a few months of experimenting (and failing), I unlocked the secret for my productivity… 🗝 *drum roll* My weekly Calendar Date 🗓🕯 Every Sunday afternoon I have blocked out 1.5 hours in my calendar where I sit on my computer and review my past week: → What was good and what wasn’t? → How much did I deviate from my scheduled tasks? → Which tasks need more time in the coming week? Then I schedule out the entire coming week, giving every task a time slot on my calendar I try to stick to Sam Corcos’ recommendation of giving you enough slack. So I don’t schedule my tasks back to back but rather leave some gaps in between (he recommends: 50%) Since I implemented this new system, I have noticed that my productivity easily multiplied 📈 Now, I never get up in the morning needing to ask myself what I have to do today. It’s already in the calendar And who knows best what’s good for me? Exactly, OTOTT, not PMT! Disclaimer: my system is far from perfect, as you can see in the screenshot of my calendar, but I’m making progress every day Remember, the aim is not to achieve perfection but to find a system that brings out your best. One week at a time. — I’m curious, how do YOU plan your day? Do you embrace the chaos? Do you have systems? I’d love to hear about it in the comments! 💬

@SteveMoraco 🥲

@tilseif Unfortunately it’s terminal, you have a week to live -doctor steve

every day I am reminded how important it is to get 8 hours of sleep, 30 grams of protein within 30 minutes of waking up, and 10,000 steps life before / after you discover these and begin to take them seriously …the two experiences are physically and mentally nothing alike You owe it to the people in your life to figure this out if you’re always tired and anxious

@ciguleva Love the site!

@tilseif I already have it 😊 mjpro.ai

blending sref codes in midjourney

@ciguleva Makes sense! I guess I gotta get to work rating images then😋

@tilseif No, I use the v8 profile and sref codes

just hold on we're going home

@ciguleva I like that, too! Have you used your old v7 profiles and moodboards or new ones? (When I did the direct comparison between them, v7 was significantly better)

@tilseif I like it

@SteveMoraco I want synced memories too🥲

i use this every day a billion times a day btw, it is my most used software product by far. when I build data into it to have synced memories between claude, droid, codex, opencode, grok etc it's going to be *so* sick

it's called data-remote now, added some codex features type 'npx -y data-remote' in shell if you use @Replit thank me later

@ciguleva Congrats, Tatiana!! This is huge!🙏🏼

Woke up to 100k… well, hi! Happy to see you here!

@NickADobos @dvassallo Please report back! 🙏🏼

@dvassallo In what ways was using openclaw for this better than Claude code / codex? I’m about to do the same thing. Wish me luck.

I just filed my taxes with OpenClaw. Here's how it went. I sold my 90% stake in a business last year for $1.8M cash (installment sale: half in 2025, half in 2026). I also had a single-member LLC, brokerage income from dividends and stocks, HSA distributions, ACA marketplace insurance, 3 real estate properties, prior estimated tax payments, foreign income tax credits, and three kids. Not a simple return. I usually pay a CPA. Last year it cost me $8,000 for personal and business returns, and every question took weeks to get answered (so I didn't ask much). This year I decided to see how far I could get with OpenClaw instead. Here's what actually happened: Phase 1: Research (Monday) I had a pile of documents: the purchase agreement, all LLC operating agreement amendments, old K-1s, prior tax returns going back to 2012, bank statements, balance sheets. I fed everything to OpenClaw and said "read everything in chronological order and figure out my 2025 tax situation." It reconstructed the full entity history: my LLC started in 2019, converted to an S-corp in 2020, became a multi-member LLC (partnership) in 2023, then I sold a small share to an acquirer in 2024, and eventually sold my remaining 90% last year. Having all the prior returns was huge. OpenClaw traced my cost basis through every transition: original capital contributions, income allocations, distributions, entity conversions. It cross-referenced numbers across years, verified how my previous CPA had handled things, and flagged details I never fully understood, like why my ending capital account was negative and what my recourse liabilities represented. It even caught an error. My previous accountant flipped the month with the day for when I sold a small share of my business (5/4 instead of 4/5) which meant I got attributed some income for one month that should have gone to another partner. Didn’t change tax due much, but OpenClaw FTW! By the end of the day, it had prepared a comprehensive summary.md document with all the numbers, forms needed, and open questions. Phase 2: Actually filing (Tuesday) OpenClaw researched TurboTax's current plans and saved me $500 by unburying the $129 TurboTax DIY plan I actually needed. Intuit was trying to sell me a $639 package via a recommendation quiz that said there's no other option for my situation. There was! This was a 4+ hour session where I went screen by screen through TurboTax with OpenClaw guiding every field: - Brokerage 1099: Imported automatically. OpenClaw verified the numbers matched my records. - Schedule C (my solo LLC): I had no bookkeeping done for this, so OpenClaw analyzed all bank transactions and prepared the P&L. I only had to recategorize one transaction because it was a reimbursement for something I had paid for personally. - K-1 partnership income: No actual K-1 yet (the acquirer hasn't filed the entity return), so we estimated my share of the partnership based on bank statements and revenue data. - The installment sale: This was the hardest part. TurboTax kept double counting the gain, reporting it through both the K-1 disposition AND Form 6252. We had to zero out the K-1 sale fields and let the installment sale section handle all the gain reporting. Took several attempts to get right. - Itemized deductions: Mortgage interest, property taxes, local sales taxes, and so on. Uneventful, and OpenClaw correctly predicted the SALT cap limits I'd run into it. TurboTax confirmed those calculations. - Annualized income method: Since the $900K installment came in Q2, using the annualized method on Form 2210 saved ~$3,700 in underpayment penalties. This was quite tedious, and I'm not sure an accountant would have done this for me. I've been told "just pay the penalty" before. - HSA: ~$12K distribution, all qualified medical expenses, $0 taxable. - ACA Premium Tax Credit: 1095-A entered month by month for 11 months of marketplace coverage. I quit the ACA plan in November, in favor of CrowdHealth. No deductions from them unfortunately. At the end, OpenClaw reviewed the final 137 page tax return draft return line by line. Total federal due: $125K, excluding the ~$40K in estimated taxes already paid throughout 2025. — Have you said thank you once, Donald?! What worked well: 1. Document analysis. I threw PDFs and CSVs at it: purchase agreements, K-1s, old returns going back years, bank statements, and it extracted exactly what was needed. Being able to say "look at my 2022 return and tell me what basis my CPA used" and get an answer in seconds was invaluable. Way faster than explaining things to a human. 2. Answering questions in real time. Instead of emailing a CPA and waiting days, I asked "what are recourse vs nonrecourse liabilities?" and got a clear answer in 5 seconds while staring at the TurboTax field. This back-and-forth is what made the whole thing work. Every question I had, answered immediately. 3. Catching optimizations. The annualized income method, investment interest expense from brokerage margin, etc. Small things that add up. 4. Cross-referencing prior years. Having OpenClaw dig through my old returns to verify how things were previously handled gave me real confidence. I could see that the numbers were consistent with what my CPA had done before. What didn't work well: 1. Driving TurboTax directly. I had OpenClaw try to fill in the forms via browser automation. Too slow! TurboTax's multi-step wizards with radio buttons and dynamic forms don't lend themselves well to AI control yet. We switched to me clicking while it dictated what to enter. I'm optimistic this will be improved soon. 2. TurboTax's installment sale handling. This was genuinely tricky. The double counting issue required a creative workaround. A CPA familiar with TurboTax would know the right workflow. OpenClaw had to experiment. 3. No K-1 yet. We estimated the partnership income. When the real K-1 arrives, I'll probably need to amend. This is the same problem I'd have with a CPA though. But if the K-1 preparer was using OpenClaw, maybe I would already have it! What to watch out for: - You need to know your own situation. I'm not completely ignorant about tax prep. I had a reasonable expectation of what the numbers should look like, roughly how much I owed, what the major items were, and so on. I wasn't relying on blind faith. The ability to ask questions and verify things quickly is what built confidence. - Complex form interactions are tricky. The TurboTax installment sale / K-1 double-counting issue could have resulted in extra taxable income if we didn't catch it. Having a sense of what the final number should be matters. - You still need to understand your own finances. The bottom line: Total cost: $129 (TurboTax Premium) vs $8,000 I paid my CPA last year. Also $23.90 in OpenAI GPT 5.4 tokens, including drafting of this post :) Time spent: ~6 hours total across research, prep, and filing. Still faster than dealing with a CPA, and I got much better answers. The biggest difference wasn't the money. It was the speed of answers. Every question I had during filing got answered in seconds. That real-time loop of "what does this field mean?" → clear explanation → enter the number → move on is something no CPA engagement can match. Next year, I'll know the drill. And OpenClaw has memory. That one should be much simpler. Long live the claw! 🦞

@itsolelehmann Curious what your hit rate with this new approach is, Ole!

most X creators just guess at what goes viral but the posts that blow up almost *always* follow a proven structural pattern. a specific hook type a specific way the information unfolds a specific emotional beat, etc you can reverse-engineer it. and you can automate it i set up a claude cowork scheduled task that runs every morning at 7am and does this: 1. searches X for the top 5-10 highest-engagement posts in my niche from the last 24 hours 2. extracts the hook from each one and rewrites it as a fill-in-the-blank template 3. breaks down the structural pattern (ex: "vulnerable confession → specific shift with numbers → industry implication") 4. appends every new unique template to a master swipefile that grows over time after a month, you have 150+ proven hook templates after three months: 400+ > every single one pulled from posts that actually went viral. > always up to date. > filters out duplicates automatically so the file stays clean when i want to write a post i just: 1. tell claude the topic 2. and it searches the swipefile for the best-fit templates 3. then drafts against my voice file so i never start from zero full setup with the exact prompt you can copy below (takes about 15 minutes):

@nevmed Looks like a super casual hangout until you see what ballers are actually hanging out in this photo 😏

Favorite part of conferences is just seeing buds :)

@nevmed @collision And it’s such a lightweight! 🥹 wish they would still make them

@tilseif @collision The M-series processors are amazing...unless you're a dev or video editor you don't need the MacBook Pro (imo)!

Heard an earnings call intro by @collision where he stated "This is the real me speaking, not an AI reading it" and it made me more engaged. Trying this out as an intro to tomorrows newsletter. No idea if it'll matter or not, but it's nice to know if it's hand made!

@mckaywrigley Any new YT videos coming out soon? 🙃

i recorded a 4hr work session today so that i can watch it back in a year and see how much things changed. nevertheless, i will continue to work on things that i find interesting/useful while taking advantage of all ai gains available, and i think this is generally good advice.

i’d be lying if i said i haven’t started to feel a little bit of “singularity paralysis” where doing most digital work has started to feel a tad bit silly. it’s getting weird.

@LinusEkenstam @EmmanuelMacron Typo, maybe? 🫣

@EmmanuelMacron Emmanuel no doubt you want to improve Europe, I want the same. Keen to talk. But this. this is not the way. €30M euro is roughly what Google is spending every 90 minutes… Europe needs to do way more.

In France, we believe in science. That is why, on May 5, I issued a clear and open call to the world: for science, choose France. I am very proud to see that this call has resonated so strongly. Around forty leading researchers have chosen France. Through “France 2030”, we have invested more than €30 million to advance health, climate action, artificial intelligence, and fundamental sciences. Science has found its home.
