Use Short Journal Entries To Slow Down And Stay On Track
Journal briefly to capture present thoughts so you slow down and offload future planning from your head.
George uses short logs, not deep dives, plus a goals spreadsheet to check progress and maintain momentum.
Dose Your Side Hustle To Avoid Burnout
Break projects into main hustle versus side hustle so you can dose effort and avoid overload.
George uses this to limit FITLETE work after training, avoiding unsustainable extra 6–8 hour days.
In-Person Events Build Deeper Professional Alignment
In-person conferences convert casual connections into invested relationships that increase buy-in and reveal blind spots.
George says sitting next to attendees lets you compare notes and see alignment beyond your small daily bubble.
In Person Events Spark Both Learning And Connection
George says the main benefit of conferences is people connections, not just presentations.
The in-person setting pushes him to both learn and have meaningful conversations with like-minded peers.
