Don’t listen to me, listen to a long-dead Chinese general and military strategist — Write more. No, write less. Publish every single day. But focus on quality.

Paralyzed by dislocating advice, you’re going nowhere fast. But you’re also watching other writers generate…

There are 3 crucial mindsets you need to quit your job — and here’s how to tap into them — I quit my job in marketing during the COVID-19 pandemic because my boss called me a “coward who would never achieve his goals in life” on Zoom.

The simple lesson that marketing “gurus” won’t ever tell you — Better readers are better writers. That’s how you 10x your writing ability in 30 days.

“What did you say about giving you a tip?!” — “69, right?” The sexual boldness of Prakesh strikes me; my Uber Eats delivery driver, who’s routinely dropped off my food throughout the course of this pandemic.

My life is the sexual Matrix and I don’t want the red pill — I got a brand new $479 Oculus Quest 2 VR gaming system for Christmas. I know, I know. Christmas was close to 7 months ago, but I’ve too busy playing with my uh, “gift” to talk about it. The box promised next level hardware, intuitive controls, and hundreds of games…

How to cut insecurity from your life in 30 seconds — No one cares about you. OK, except for your parents and friends. Outside of those people, no one cares about you.

Love comes and goes but we’ll always have those 3 minutes — Dear highly flexible and very vocal, I’m sorry I don’t know your name yet. It wasn’t in the title of the video.
