Yearly: 5 most-impactful books, 3 completed courses, 10 mastered skills. Your learning narrative.

Repeat the same refusal in the same words calmly, no matter how the other person reshapes the pressure.

Say no in three sentences: thanks, refusal, closing — with no "sorry" or justification.

Memorize one 7-word refusal sentence and rehearse it until it emerges automatically under pressure.

Say "no, I can't" — complete sentence. No explanation, no apology.

Sort every file you own into just four: Projects, Areas, Resources, Archive.

Request output as JSON with a defined schema to enable automated processing without manual parsing.

Never write the same prompt twice. Save every successful prompt in a tagged, searchable file.

In every 60-90 min window: one task, one window, one intention.

Max 5 browser tabs. Every 6+ = close or save to read-later.

Like text shortcuts, build a library of full templates (presentation, simple contract, weekly report) instead of starting from scratch every time.
