Hacks to take Away
- Utilize voice assistants like Siri or Google Voice to record your thoughts and tasks instantly. This helps you capture ideas before they disappear and stay organized in the digital ecosystem.
- Explore services like Blinkist or summaries (stummies) to get the gist of business books efficiently. Often, the core concepts can be condensed into a shorter format, saving time without compromising understanding. If necessary, you can delve into the full book later.
- Recognize that tasks and projects generally take longer than expected. Avoid letting your brain trick you into underestimating the time required. If you’ve done something before, adjust your estimate accordingly. For new tasks, triple your estimate, and if it involves technology, multiply by five.
- Tommy emphasizes the importance of recording thoughts and ideas immediately, whether it’s for business or joke writing. He used to jot down jokes on cocktail napkins, recognizing the value of capturing ideas promptly.
- Tommy shares his passion for sailing and obtaining a cruise certification. He mentions his excitement about chartering boats in the Caribbean, highlighting the pursuit of this hobby.
