The system I run on myself — the one I'd build you. Real formats; numbers illustrative.
Ever had your best idea in the shower? We're embodied — shaped by where we are.
So build for how you live: body, place, rhythm. Tune the decisions to the outcomes.
The loops are all that matters.
01 · The morning
Read overnight, triaged before I'm at the machine. I wake up oriented, not buried.
Surf — chest-high, offshore till ~9. Window's the morning.
Today, one thing — ship the offer page. Everything else can wait.
On your desk — 2 threads waiting on you (Acme, the lawyer).
Handled — I drafted the Acme reply. Say the word and it goes.
02 · The money
One honest screen. Runway, one win, one yes/no. Never shaming.
One win — the refund landed. A little more room.
On the desk — card due Friday. Covered.
One ask — renew the design tool? yes / no
03 · The agent
Lives where I already am — WhatsApp. One message, one ask. Never moves money without a nod.
04 · The loop
A prompt is a request. A loop is a relationship — read your state, tune the work, learn.
This is the shape. Yours would be tuned to you.
Your signals, your stack. Same system, built around you.
