On Becoming Consistent: What Finally Seems to Be Working I have tried every productivity system: Habit Stacking, Pomodoros, Bullet Journaling, Habit Coaching, Self Help Books, Voluntary Accountability Partners, even Meds. But they all have one thing in common: they put the pressure back on you to stay consistent, to remember, to follow through. There is enough theory for habit coaching. There is enough theory about habit coaching, but very little that directly helps with habit practice. What is finally working: a system where someone's job is to check in on me EVERY HOUR of the day. They make sure I start my day properly, stay on top of things, and end the day properly. They have access to the space where I plan my day (a structured Notion page with weekly and daily habit/task views in my case), with basic automations that trigger notifications when I finish or miss a task. They then do hourly check-ins to keep me on track. (Sometimes I still fail, but it happens much less than when I was managing it on my own.) It sounds intense, but it is the first time I have hit 80-90% consistency. I believe this will make a difference for any sufficiently motivated person. I did this by hiring and training someone whose job is to be my personal accountability buddy. I then expanded it to include my friends who have ADHD. They are now finally finishing books, staying consistent with habits, and making progress on side projects. I will not be able to help you directly, as we do not have any more slots available at the moment. However, I am working on scaling it up to help more people. So, I am always looking to interview people who are struggling with similar issues. On the call, we can go over your current habits and challenges, and I can help you come up with a daily routine for yourself. Feel free to try out my system and if you have any questions about it, please ask! To book a call for the interview, the link is below. See you there!🫡

Office space in India is going to become a super hot commodity with new and expanded GCCs. What else will happen when high-net-worth knowledge workers return in hordes? Real estate demand will rise after the recent slump. IB schools and high-quality services will see more demand. Hyderabad is likely to witness most of the action, driven by the reverse immigration of Telugu professionals and massive stockpile of unused office and residential spaces. What else?

I realised during my usual hike in my Indian village that I am living in both San Fransisco and Bali at the same time. On one side you have beautiful views like SF (although with much smaller buildings) and on the other side of the hill, there are beautiful lush green paddy fields like in Bali. I'm only half joking when I say that I might scale Intentive [dot] Life from my village. I mean, just look at the views!!! 🤌

Choosing to stay back in India as a Telugu person is equivalent to dropping out of college in the US. Different breed. Haha.

Are we the last generation in India who is expected to take care of our parents and not expect our kids to take care of us? 🤔

Western people talking about going to the grocery stores sounds like some third world stuff for folks in Indian cities. Q commerce (Swiggy, Zepto, Blinkit etc) has really changed the mentality here.

Googled the chair. That's literally what my office desk chair is. What's the reason for over the top spending for office furniture by US companies even in India offices? All I see are Herman Miller that cost almost a lakh.

Testimonial for a testimonial for Intentive[dot]life We're entering Nolan territory now. 🤟🏻

As Soon As Possible and ASAP have totally different tones.

I'm careful around low-trust people, environments, and societies. Every small mistake just leads to even less trust. And, it's not easy for them to get out of that shell or make them see things in a different manner. A lot of things can make them low trust. Like, invasions, scarcity, exploitation and family environments. Requires courage and conscious effort (from them and us) to recognize and help them change for the better.

You can just do things. Hello! We’re rolling out an accountability buddy program that’s already helping people stay on track daily. You’ll get hourly human check-ins and support to stay consistent. Whether you're building a side hustle, writing, working out, continued...

value-creation capitalism v/s value-extraction capitalism.

Good example of how startups are not competing with the big corps, but the few motivated PMs and engineers in those big corps who are trying to cut through all the bureaucracy to get actual work done.

Hell yeah. Very Nolan-esque
