It’s the same one that I’ve been using since 2020s and I pay for using it as well.

Email responders are the tool which you use to build a mailing list, which helps you connect and stay in touch with people who want to hear from you. It’s to build relationships, to hear from them what they need from you and you can build or introduce them good products or services for a fee.

I find AWeber affordable (about $17/month) and simple to use.

INVEST

Cryptocurrency

Word of warning: crypto can be sexy but they can be very volatile too. I have a portfolio of crypto but when anyone asks, I recommend 5-10% max of networth in crypto such as Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).

Vitality, Energy and More Sex

To be have a chance at success and to maintain it, we need to be able to harness energy to perform work sustainably – no point working so hard and much just to fall sick, or worse, get bad sick.

Health Supplements

  1. Men’s Daily Vitamins
  2. Natural Anti Inflammation Turmeric Pills
  3. Nitric Oxide – Blood Flow, Physical, Mental & Sexual Energy

    Fitness & Health Habits

    Sleep Early, Wake Up Early And Dominate Your Day

    1. Avoid coffee 8-12 hours before sleep time
    2. Keep your phone away at least 2 feet away from you
    3. Gratitude Journal before sleeping.
    4. Turn off all lights if possible (at most a little night light if you need)

    Power Morning Rituals

    1. Drink a large glass of warm water first thing in the morning when you wake up – don’t eat anything for the first 30 minutes.
    2. Do not use your mobile devices or computer to answer anything social including email for the first 30 minutes. Instead, walk about, stretch, turn on energizing or motivating background music.
    3. Meditate and pray for 10+ minutes including writing and reviewing what you are grateful for and your life goals.
    4. Exercise and stretch for 30-60 minutes.
    5. Write down your three (3) most important to-do for the day that will bring you closer to your life goals and deep work. Go through your priority list.
    6. THEN only do you eat and work

    Exercise Every Day At Least 15-30 Minutes

    With / by simple daily exercises such as walking, jogging, weights, climbing stairs, whatever. I try to naturally incorporate moving into my life and schedule, such as

    • stopping / parking your car a little further away to introduce a nice 15-30 minutes walk back to home or to car
    • choose to walk to your destination (if it’s under 30 or 60 minutes)
    • choose to live closer to your workplace, and walk or bike everywhere
    • apply an “exercise” toll-gate eg whenever you pass through a door, you have to do at least one (1) specific exercise
    • buy some home exercise or gym machines and equipment

    Intermittent Fasting

    • Duration: at least 10 hours, ideally 16-18 hours
    • Number of days: at least 1 day a week, or more

    Fasting has scores of positive health benefits, from clarity, to digestive health, to endocrine health, to sleep and more. Do check in with your doctor first and you can consider easing into intermittent fasting. Start slow and easy first with 1-2 days a week, and slowly work your way into more days and longer hours.

    Re-readable Book List

    I enjoy a good read – it’s one of those hobbies that are ridiculously cheap, yet amazingly rewarding.

    Think about it: Someone spent months if not years of their life organizing their research and crafting it into a compelling narrative – and you get the best of it for a couple of bucks and a few days of reading!

    It would be easy to list out a random list of books, but the ones I’ve listed here meet at least one of the following two criteria:

    • The book was practically useful and applicable in my life
    • The book had an original, key insight

    The books here are listed in no particular order, and I’ll update them as we go along. This list my “re-readable” books list, where I pick it up again and again to refresh my mind and gain insights.

    Regular Time With Loved Ones And Friends

    At least 2 family, friends or other social events in person, physically per week – online or whatsapp or email is good, but nothing beats meeting in person, where you can

    • hear, sense and feel the different senses (touch, smell, sight, etc) together or
    • visit a new and different place together and make a different memory

    Productivity

    Google Suite (Email, Calendar, Docs etc)

    I love Google Suite, which is also commonly known as GSuite – Google Suite.

    I have been using the paid version since 2014 for all my business and communication emails and calendar tools.

    You will have also access to their Google Sheets, Google Docs and Google PowerPoint and more – very useful and waaaaaaaaaaaay cheaper (and easier) than using Microsoft Office. I also integrate with Google Drive, so that makes it very easy to share work documents that can be updated from everyone.

    I personally and professionally use Google Calendar a lot – I find that anything that goes into my calendar is much more chance of being done, rather than a to-do-list which is great but there is no indication of where what gets done.
