What I've Made for You

How to Track Workouts With Notion

This is a (long overdue) video on how I track workouts in Notion.

I showcase my template for tracking cardio, strength, and bodyweight workouts in Notion. I also demonstrate how to use it. 😊

Book Notes

The Compound Effect by Darren HardyIt had some great ideas. Unfortunately, these were all borrowed. This should not have been a book. Not even a blog post. A tweet or two, at best. Not recommended.👉 Read my notesJust Fucking Ship by Amy HoyThe book presents some good ideas on getting your products finished and out there. The book is 125 pages long but can be easily summarized (as seen below). It feels like a collection of ideas for blog posts. I'd probably not recommend you read it — instead, just read my summary or notes on it. I do, however, like the ideas presented. Most of them I already knew very well and use daily. They work.👉 Read my notes

Driving Behavior

This past weekend, my legs have been hurting. Enough that I considered postponing the run I had scheduled for today.

It's freezing outside, too. And it's a

morning run

. It would have been much easier to just stay inside.

But I'm trying to establish a solid running habit. So I decided to use what I've learned.

I decided that I would do the starter step version of my habit.

This is a method presented in Tiny Habits. It's designed to make a habit tiny. Easy to do - so that you'll actually do it.

A starter step is one small move toward the desired behavior. If you want to run, it could be to put on your running shoes.

So I decided to do just that. I put on my running shoes and my running attire (consisting of a t-shirt, hoodie, Adidas joggers, and some running shoes).

Standing there, fully outfitted, in front of my door, I felt that I couldn't just leave it there. How anticlimactic would be, if I just changed into my regular clothes again?

So I didn't. I decided that I would just walk down the stairs in my apartment building. Just get outside and then quickly go back in.

But I didn't stop there. For some reason, I just kept walking.

Then I started running.

And for some reason, I kept promising myself "just a bit more, then you can go home and drink some nice, hot coffee and read."

But I never really stopped doing that.

It ended up running further than I've run in the past half-year. All because I took it one small bite at a time.

I think this applies to almost any task we have in front of us. Dividing it down into small, manageable tasks that are easy to do. Then just doing one at a time - and focusing on that one, small task.

At the end of the day, you can look back, having gone further than you thought you could.
