Creating StreaksStreaks have always been helpful to me, building a chain of habits that help you see your own progress. For entrepreneurs, they are especially important because it's so easy to feel like you aren't making progress. Many entrepreneurs tell me, “I get to the end of the day and it feels like the scoreboard is reset to zero.” Yikes.Jerry Seinfeld was always a big proponent of this idea, saying that the best thing you can do as a comedian is “Write jokes, every day” and “don't break the chain!” He uses a calendar and writes a big “X” on the day when he would write jokes.Right now, I'm following “The Way” meditation app, and I'm about 80/100 or so Meditation sessions in. It's nice when apps track your streak for you, however, I have also been using Excel spreadsheets a lot lately. Simple TrackingI used to be a heavy user of different tech and tools like Notion or Evernote and kept up with my work with more intense systems. Today, I mostly use Excel, my Apple notes, and then one-off Google docs for simple reviews. ChatGPT, of course, is up regularly and is sort of a booster pack to whatever I'm already doing. It's been fun to track what I'm reading, the comments I'm getting, and what my workouts are for the day. I feel good tracking because I'm able to better recollect progress. I think that when you have ADHD, you do more than most people and feel like you've done less. Mostly, what's probably missing is a sense of completeness of tasks. I notice that even on weekends that there are days when I make a to-do list, I simply feel better and feel more productive. Tracking my WritingWhat metrics do you track?What we choose to track really matters. You probably don't spend nearly enough time thinking about this. If we track outcomes and external validation, we're going to be stuck in a terribly difficult loop that we can never get out of. Tracking our effort as an input helps separate who we are from what we do, or maybe it combines it, in a way that makes us feel better when we're taking action. This simple point; knowing what to track, and then tracking it, while avoiding the trap of tracking things that simply don't matter – is surprisingly difficult. Social media tracks things on your behalf, they are a default metric that you are forced to care about. On social media, I believe “comments” are the best thing to track. Or you could say you track positive interactions with your community. I think that's a fairly decent metric as it involves connection. Most other metrics are totally pointless. Even then, I can't really *create* comments and not all comments are the same. Knowing what to track, and why it matters to you will take your life in completely different directions. Mr. Beast has optimized his entire life around a game that I think is somewhat silly: Youtube's algorithm. He's the best person in the world at optimizing for Youtube's algorithm. Because of that, his choice of what to create is limited by that filter. I don't look up to someone like Mr. Beast because it's not something I care about at all. And that's OK. I'm mostly talking about knowing that for yourself rather than feeling the allure of someone else's game that actually means nothing to you. If you told me I could have 1Million views on a video tomorrow, but it had to be in the style of Mr. Beast, I wouldn't do it. That's obvious because I'm not doing it.The Good LifeTracking what matters to me let's me stack my good days, good sessions, and good moments together. If you can design your life in such a way that you have many good or even great things happen every single day, that, to me, makes a great life. Feeling successful doesn't have that strong of a connection to achievement. That's another false metric we link and track. Typically, people feel successful when they are in pursuit of their dream. You don't even have to succeed at it. You simply have to succeed in doing the things that you desire and dream to do. Athletes lose most games they play, that's the essence of the sport. Maybe they will dominate for a while. It doesn't really matter, they are chasing their own dream.My friend Kristi said something profound that was a great visual and quote,“We watch athletes and sports stars on TV because they are chasing their dreams. Instead of watching them live theirs, what if you lived yours?”Tracking actions related to your dreams is a great start, and you don't need any fancy software. What streak are you starting or continuing today?Making this your ownSo, how do you apply this in your life?Pick 1–3 Key Metrics – Make sure these matter to you (e.g., meditation streak, pages written, workouts, interactions with your community).Use Any System That Works – Calendar, spreadsheet, or a simple notebook. Apps are great if they help you—but if it's too complicated, don't force it.Celebrate Your Streaks – Even a three-day streak is a success. Don't underestimate the power of small wins.Avoid Comparisons – Don't let other people's metrics distract you. Focus on what keeps you fulfilled.

Balancing writing fiction and nonfiction, can you do it? What about writing across genres? Should you pick one genre or take on multiple genres for your books?A couple of years ago, I worked with a marketing executive for Become a Writer Today, and he asked me what I liked to write.I explained that I wrote a series of books about the craft of writing, a couple of books about creativity, and some short stories back in the day.I'd also recently written a book called I Can't Believe I'm a Dad. I asked him which of these projects he could help me promote. He said, "the writing books" because they connected to my business.When I asked about I Can't Believe I'm a Dad, a passion project I wrote that I really wanted people to read, he said, "Bryan, you need to stay in your lane. You need to pick one genre and stick to it." What he said struck a chord with me. At first, I wondered if he was right.But here's the thing about writing and creative work — while it's OK to write something that pays the bills, sometimes you need to write something because it's a story you want to tell or a message you want to get out into the world. So if you're writing something outside of your genre or niche, don't necessarily worry about sales or the result. Write it because you love it and because you enjoy the process.The divergence between creative and nonfiction work is a theme for this week's podcast episode. I recently caught up with Jessie Kwak. She's a science fiction author. She also writes supernatural thrillers and is a ghostwriter and former copywriter. In this episode, we discuss:How copywriting helped Jessie get a break in professional writingHer career as a ghostwriterWhy Jessie chose to write fiction and nonfictionHow she balances two completely different types of writingWhat her typical daily writing routine looks likeThe challenges that freelance writers face when they go out on their own for the first timeResources:Website: http://www.jessiekwak.com/Support the showIf you enjoyed the show please leave a review on Apple.

After a decades-long career advising leaders in some of the largest companies in America and beyond, Dr. Gena Cox concluded that the pace of workplace inclusion change was unacceptably slow. She harnessed her organizational psychology and executive coach insights, her understanding of c-suite dynamics, and her personal workplace experiences to write a book, ‘Leading Inclusion'. Her book helps leaders connect unfamiliar dots to drive inclusion from the top of their organizations. Gena asks her clients to remember one simple idea: “Inclusion tops diversity!”Here's a glimpse of what you'll learn:Gena Cox's childhood in Barbados before moving to the United StatesWhat events spurred Gena to write her bookHow personal revelations drove her writingWhat behavioral-based leadership meansWhy inclusion is more vital than diversityThe difference between a passive and an active leaderThe meaning behind Gena's acronym REDITwo pieces of terminology Gena uses to describe effective leadershipGena's thoughts on positive leadership trends moving forwardGena's favorite chapter in her book ‘Leading Inclusion'In this episode…Dr. Gena Cox is a corporate advisor and executive coach who recently authored a book titled “Leading Inclusion”. Along with her professional coaching certification, Gena holds a Ph.D. in Industrial and Organizational Psychology. Dr. Cox works to set the standard for building inclusive work environments, the ones everyone deserves.The events of 2020 involving Ahmed Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd proved a trigger point for Dr. Cox, affecting her profoundly, and leading to the writing of her book. She explains how the book is composed of insights and experiences she's had for decades, driven by a new desire to work towards solutions to the events engulfing the country. Inclusion, rather than diversity, is what Dr. Cox stresses and she breaks down the differences in the terms. Gena and Martin discuss how much more vital inclusion and belonging are to employee safety and satisfaction in the workplace.In this episode of What CEOs Talk About, host Martin Hunter and guest Dr. Gena Cox dive into the insights that formed her book, ‘Leading Inclusion', and the necessity of leaders who put inclusion over diversity. Their conversation includes experiences around privilege, behavioral-based leadership, and key terminology Dr. Cox uses to explain the foundation of inclusive leadership. This honest and insightful episode with the wonderful Dr. Gena Cox will inspire every leader it reaches.Resources mentioned in this episode:URGEOContact email: info@urgeo.comMartin Hunter on LinkedInGena Cox on LinkedInGena Cox, PhD website‘Leading Inclusion: Drive Change Your Employees Can See and Feel' by Gena Cox, Ph.DBreonna Taylor informationAJ HarperWhat CEOs Talk About Episode ‘If You Don't Have Inclusion, You Don't Have Anything' with Katarina Polonsky‘Leadership Reckoning' by Thomas Kolditz, Ph.D, Libby Gill, and Ryan P Brown, Ph.D‘The Warmth of Other Suns' by Isabel Wilkerson‘Caste' by Isabel WilkersonRecommended resources for CEOs:Monday.comBambooHRSponsor For This PodcastThis podcast is brought to you by URGEO, Operational excellence in action through the Are you Ready Program!Are you READY to free up your time?Optimize your Organization?Grow revenue and reduce costs?Build your leadership team?Partnering with organizations like yours, we work with you to implement our proven methodology designed to transform your operations, while providing accurate advice and support for real success.Translating strategy into frontline operations, URGEO helps leaders and the people within their organization excel at safe, on-time, on-budget and on-spec delivery.

Rev. James Martin, SJ, is a Jesuit priest, best-selling author, and editor-at-large of America magazine. Father Jim, as he graciously lets us call him, joins Jenn Giles Kemper to explore why he believes prayer is, well, for everyone. In this warm and welcoming episode, Father Jim and Jenn discuss Ignatian spirituality, the power of imagination in our prayers, the gift of the Holy Spirit, and how contemplation and action go hand-in-hand. Father Jim also shares how, in his words, “God is making us more loving in prayer.”On this episode of Sacred Ordinary Days with Jenn Giles Kemper, Father James Martin dives into:What motivated him to explore prayer now in his writingWhat our longings to pray tell us about who we are and who God isHow prayer can help us stay rooted in God in chaotic timesWhy the Examen can be a helpful practice for us allWhy imagination plays an important role in what we pray — and how — we prayAbout the guest: Rev. James Martin, SJ, is the best-selling author of Learning to Pray: A Guide for Everyone, Jesus: A Pilgrimage, and The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything. Father Martin is a prolific writer in the national media sphere, including in the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. He has appeared on all the major radio and television networks, including NPR's Fresh Air and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. In 2017, Pope Francis appointed him to be a Consultor for the Vatican's Secretariat for Communication.Reflection point: In this episode, Father Jim says, “The voice of God is the voice of hope. The voice of despair is not the voice of God.” How does this speak to your soul? Where might the Spirit be leading you into reflection on this idea?Links:Learning to Pray: A Guide for Everyone (Father Jim's new book!)America Magazine (where Father Jim is Editor at Large)Fr.

Contracts, Evictions, Housing Law. These topics might make your eyes glaze over, but they are becoming big issues for the tiny house movement. My guest today is Jody Gabel, a trial attorney with 25 years of experience in mobile home park law, RV tenancies, landlord/tenant and housing law, and local government issues. On the show, we’ll explore the challenges and solutions facing tiny house dwellers, landlords, and communities. I learned a lot and I know you will too!Full show notes and links at thetinyhouse.net/149In This Episode:Read your contract, read the lease, understand the expectations, and get it in writingWhat to look out for in a contract and what to be cautious ofWhat does "replevin" mean and how might it apply to you?Do you want to rent to tiny house dwellers? Here's what you need in your contractSometimes exceptions are reasonable and appropriateHow to protect yourself and your buildThe obvious and not-so-obvious effects of COVID on the tiny house movementShould your builder have you sign an NDA?What should you do if you have an issue with your builder or landlord?The importance of knowing your rights as a resident and where to find the infoLet’s face it, most Tiny House dwellers want their homes to be small, but not uncomfortable. That means reliable, unlimited, hot water. Precision Temp’s propane-fired hot water heaters reliably provide unlimited hot water, and they’re specifically designed with tiny homes in mind. In fact, the NSP 550 model was installed in my own tiny home, and the reason I chose it was because it did not require a large hole in the side of my home like other RV hot water heaters. Instead, it mounts discreetly through the floor of the tiny house and works quietly and reliably. With their patented VariFlame technology, these are the only gas-fired tankless water heaters approved by RVIA and are ANS certified. Features such as cold weather and wind protection, precise electronic temperature control, and onboard diagnostics are standard. With higher efficiency and 55,000 BTUs of power, these units produce far more hot water than traditional water heaters. And since they don't come on unless you want hot water (or to protect against freezing), you may find that you use as little as half the propane or natural gas as before. So go ahead and take that long, hot shower! Precisiontemp is offering listeners of the Tiny House Lifestyle Podcast $100 off plus free shipping using the coupon code THLP.
