How I actually run
I run my life the way I run infrastructure: as areas, each with its own protocols, logs and rules. Not goals — systems, written down, that keep working when motivation doesn't. This is the map.
- 12
- Areas
- 18
- In the vault
- Daily
- Cadence
A naturally structured person doesn't need scaffolding to be structured. Mine is load-bearing — which is worth knowing, because it means “just be more disciplined” was never going to be the fix. The systems aren't personality. They're prosthetics, and they work.

Health
The biggest area by a distance, and not a training log — a set of protocols run on a decades-long horizon rather than a beach-body one.
- Sleep
- Training
- Fasting
- Cold & heat
- Light exposure
- Biomarkers
- Longevity
- № 02
Abstract
The creative area. Deliberately the one part of my life with no ROI attached — the rule is create to calibrate, not to perform or profit.
- AI design
- Painting
- Dioramas
- Analog game design
- Scent blending
- Speaking
- № 03
Systems
How the work actually runs day to day — the stack, the automations, the scheduled jobs, and the rules that decide what gets built.
- Automation
- Agents
- Infrastructure
- Execution rhythm
- № 04
Travel
Living abroad while continuing to scale the work — the operating model, not the holiday photos.
- Base selection
- Visas & logistics
- Remote setup
- Living costs
- № 05
Spiritual
Practice rather than belief. Clarity frameworks, attention training, and the parts of thinking that sit under everything else.
- Mindfulness
- Clarity framework
- Attention
- Reflection
- № 06
Wealth
Money as a system: what compounds, what decays, and what buys back time.
- Runway
- Assets
- Cost discipline
- № 07
Network
Who you're around changes who you become. Treated as an area to work on, not a byproduct.
- Rooms
- Events
- Relationships
- Community
- № 08
Work & Career
The state work happens in, and the direction the hours point. Two separate questions.
- Session architecture
- Lanes
- Positioning
- № 09
Execution
How things actually get finished. Cadence, quests, weekly review, and the build log.
- Weekly quests
- Reviews
- Build log
- Cadence
- № 10
Experimentation
The method for testing an idea before committing to it — and for killing it cleanly.
- Test design
- Kill criteria
- Post-mortems
- № 11
Synthesis
Turning input into something usable — reading, research, and the knowledge vault itself.
- Reading
- Research
- The vault
- № 12
Legacy
The long horizon. What outlasts the current project, and what's worth building for it.
- Long-term bets
- Writing
- What compounds
Every area opens. What's inside them is hand-picked rather than exported — several of these sit on top of medical, financial and personal material that stays private permanently. The protocols are published; the results aren't.
