It’s not your To-Do list. We’re exactly 30 days away from the midpoint of 2025, and as time continues its relentless march, I must confess that I sometimes struggle to keep up with it. I’m actively working on improving this. My last newsletter (or “therapy notes”, as I like to call them) was published about …
I have many ideas, far more than I can possibly process at a time. However, most of these ideas never see the light of day. I fail to realize these ideas, not because they are bad, but often as a consequence of inaction. When it comes to idea execution, people typically fall into two categories: …
A few days ago, I logged into YouTube on my browser, and almost all the recommended videos on the homepage seemed worthy of the “Watch later” playlist.

Among the countless things I admire about him, one that constantly leaves me in awe is his willingness to make sacrifices for others, sometimes even at the expense of his own comfort. Growing up, I watched him positively impact several …
