Since I was young I've always wanted to max out all of my stats. I didn't just want to be fit and muscular, but multidimensionally jacked. All domains developed. Mind, body, spirit, relationships, money. So, I created a map to reach your full potential: letters.thedankoe.com/p/human-30-a-m…


You're not struggling with productivity. You're struggling with not having a project worth being productive for. If you were working on the right thing, you wouldn't be able to stop thinking, working, obsessing.


You're allowed to be motivated by money. Scratch that, you are motivated by money. But you hide it because your parents, teachers, and peers convinced you it was a bad thing to pursue. You work, right now, for money, to survive. Don't apologize for wanting to live well.


Your past is just an image in your mind. But you decide to live as if that image were your reality. Even worse, you Photoshop that image. You make it worse than it was and it slowly dims the future image you could create.


The matrix is real. Kinda like the movie. It's hiding in plain sight. It's a part of human nature. We've built ourselves into it. By the time we turn 18, we're clones of everyone else. Here's how to escape and take back control of your mind: youtu.be/JeaBetH8UUc

You're Stuck In The Matrix, Here's How You Escape


If you're trying to build your own thing, you need to focus on the fact that nobody knows you exist and work until that's not the case. Your logo, LLC formation, and website are not going to make people know you exist.


Most people haven't practiced thinking. When you talk to them, you aren't talking to them. You're talking to the TV. Social media. Their parents. Their teachers. Their insecurities and trauma. It's very robotic. The definition of inauthentic. Disconnect and think more.


The problem isn't that you don't know what to work on. It's that you haven't tried anything outside of what your parents, teachers, and boss have assigned to you. You haven't experimented with life to the point of finding that one thing you can't help but work on.


My biggest fear is waking up to live the same life as everyone else over and over again. Doing work I don't care about for people I don't care about. Never understanding, always reacting. No energy or time to think, plan, build, or change. Stuck on the surface as decades pass by.


How to master any skill fast: - Stop studying - Outline a project - Start building it - Hit a roadblock - Research how to overcome it - Repeat until completed Most people get trapped in tutorial hell and have nothing to show for years of "learning."


Building a project will teach you more than watching a tutorial ever will.


Do whatever you want. When you do, you will make mistakes. At that point, if you are smart, you no longer want it, and begin to slowly course correct toward what you really want. If you always do what others want for you, you will never discover what you want.


You solve a problem by obsessing over it (without letting it destroy your mind). Any problem, huge or small, can eventually be solved if you sit with it long enough. When a problem is your lens for reality, you subconsciously pick up information and piece together the solution.


The solution to imposter syndrome is to produce so much that your body of work speaks for itself.


A meaningful goal + clarity on how to achieve it + a real deadline closing in = the greatest nootropic stack known to man


You can become unrecognizable in 5 years

You're distracted because you don't have responsibilities, priorities, or goals so important that you have no choice but to focus on them. You're afraid to commit so you drown in options.
