Some days at my job, things are piling up.

I don't even have time for a mental break.

Today is one of those days.

My degree paid for this

Going to College is not that bad

Think twice

I hit a pivotal moment.

Every single minute I have, I prefer learning to code, (vibe) coding, or building automations, instead of doing chemistry research.

I never thought this could happen.

The future of learning is here.

Google is changing how we learn with Project Astra.

I teach organic chemistry at the University, and this AI tutor is so good that I can outsource part of my work.

Yes, open your eyes, academics, the time is now.

Prompting isn’t about asking questions.

It’s about setting scenes.

Add emotion. Urgency. Identity.

And the AI performs.

It's Black Magic Prompting.

Tomorrow, I’m sharing how to do it.

Inspiration strikes when ideas meet action.

Don’t just own ideas.

Act on them.

To all my friends and their friends, and everyone, I need more Bolt tokens.

So, sign up for free and give me those tokens (link in next post)

I made $5K online.

No marketing, small audience, completely on the side.

Not life changing, but a good sign.

What would you focus on first to make it grow fast?

Now you can include 4o images inside custom GPTs.

Time to cook good ones.

Each action adds one point, building a total that grows over time.

Miss a day?

You only lose one point, not your entire progress.

Streaks feel great until they break.

Research shows streaks can create an "all-or-nothing" mindset.

Once broken, motivation is gone.

Sometimes you end up giving up.

But what if instead of streaks, you collect Momentum Points?

Science proves it: ONE habit a day changes everything.

Less stress. More wins. Lasting momentum.

Forget tracking it all.

Just focus on the ONE THING that moves you forward.

I built this simple widget to track my water intake

Looks amazing embedded in Notion.

Thoughts?

People who hate AI love complaining about people who use it.

Notion isn’t a workspace. It’s a mirror.

I have an idea.

Sell a course with regular updates on OpenAI model names and which one you should use.

Alternative: Sell to @OpenAI a Custom GPT I have to name my products.

They need it more than I do. 😅

I speak Spanish at home.

My colleagues speak to me in Swedish and I reply in English (det är inte lätt).

And I just realized that I think in English.

That's it.

I'm cooked.
