Productivity

Join me for a tour of the Limitless lair in Sofia, Bulgaria...

It's not the most impressive home office/content creator studio, but I have been relentlessly productive here: two books (180,000 words) written in the past year, along with dozens of articles, podcasts, and videos - written, scripted, recorded, and produced. When I became a father, my working hours decreased while my income increased; of course, that has everything to do with psychological-motivational switches that get thrown when you become a parent, BUT the 17 tools and Biohacker trappings that we'll tour here certainly helped...

2026 Update: Laziness is a symptom of a fundamental lack of willpower. Willpower isn't a very sexy subject (although I tried to make it one), but willpower is the ultimate lifehack because if you have willpower, you get to have anything else you desire.

• If you don't have willpower, you probably don't realize how important it is to your happiness.
• If you don't have willpower, you won't practice the hard habits you need to practice to acquire more willpower.
• If you don't have willpower, you'll continually fail to meet your goals and you'll live a life of quiet desperation.
• If you don't have willpower, you can't get it by reading self-help books or listening to inspiring podcasts. Sorry!

Smart drugs give you willpower. Fast. 30-60 minutes after consumption, the Nootropic agents will cross your blood-brain barrier, boosting the neurotransmitters serotonin, dopamine, and acetylcholine, which will noticeably improve your self-control for 4-6 hours.
After trying over 200 different smart drugs, I found one that I call the Discipline Molecule; more than any other Nootropic I've tried, I just do 100% of what I know I should be doing when I'm on this drug. Click here to get a detailed report on this smart drug and some infotaining videos analyzing what human studies are saying about the Discipline Molecule.

I think that the human capacity for invention, creativity, collaboration, and generosity, multiplied by the steep growth curves in technology, has a real chance in the next 50 years of eradicating poverty, war, hunger, disease, environmental issues, lack of education, even aging, and death.

There's also a good chance that 50 years from now, we will have all the same problems multiplied by another two billion humans. The greatest variable in this is laziness and indifference. As much as human beings are creative and inventive we have a boundless capacity for laziness and indifference. If we can overcome these flaws in our psychology 50 years from now we will see these demons vanquished from the world.

Getting what we want in life at crucial junctures requires applying ink to paper, and when we are not in physical proximity to the other signatories of our endeavors, it can be damned inconvenient.

For the longest time, remedying this situation was a frustrating combination of fax machines, downloading PDFs, killing trees by buying reams of printer paper, and the dreaded refilling of the printer toner. Below are several free and freeish digital tools that will liberate your valuable time permanently from this unpleasant experience.

A perpetual obsession of lifehackers is acquiring knowledge and skills as quickly as possible

Until we can download the knowledge of how to fly a helicopter directly to our brains, like Trinity in The Matrix, it's unlikely that we will stop searching for ways to get smarter faster.

While so many in society are concerned with making everything fair and equal, elite Entrepreneurs are giving themselves a stark unfair advantage by embracing biohacking.

While so many in society are concerned with making everything fair and equal, elite Entrepreneurs are giving themselves a stark unfair advantage by embracing biohacking. We all have natural limits of how hard and smart we can work. The high-leverage, high-return-on-investment measure is to unleash the mind; enhancing cognition, training working memory, cultivating greater focus, and improving long-term memory. While mitigating and managing the downsides of a life lived intensely; stress and aging.

Another common sense, yet uncommonly practiced productivity strategy...

There are two hours, every day that are key to your productivity; the first and last hours of your working day. In a previous video, we discussed Hour 1: Empire Building which is the first working hour of the day.
