Bio

I’m a frontend engineer who’s tried every productivity system out there — from bullet journals and GTD to second brains and AI time blocking. Most of them worked… until they didn’t.

While building my own open-source weekly planner and talking to users, I learned that I wasn't alone. Lots of us feel unorganized, overwhelmed, stuck. Contrary to what you see on socials, the solution isn't to spend an entire weekend setting up five AI apps or religiously following someone else's setup.

Instead, we just need to get the basics right, and make sure our systems can adapt as our lives change.

Implementing this simple advice has led to many years of good output, without the chaos.

This talk distills the lessons I learned, with an emphasis on combining practical tips that you can implement on day one with a new productivity philosophy that'll last a lifetime.

For a preview, I share practical productivity tips on my YouTube for normal people who want systems that actually make sense.
