You procrastinate 121 minutes/day because of this
What is it?
A messy desk
I had one too.
That’s why I spent 3 weeks building "Distraction Free Desk"
To help YOU recover 2+ hours/day lost to distraction
FREE for 37 hours
Like + Comment “Fuck TikTok”
(must be following)
I finally get to send this Tweet?!?
100 followers!!
Thank you all so much!
I know this is another small win
but a small win is still a win
Also, shout out to the Growth Army

They know what the fuck they're talking about
What’s something $1,000,000,000 can’t buy?
Time
Billionaires would give up EVERYTHING to be where we are
Just to be young and broke again
Let’s be grateful for where we are
Because we’ll never get it back
I finally get to send this Tweet!?!
50 followers!!
Thank you all so much!
I know this is a small win in the grand scheme of my journey
but a small win is still a win
I hope to have y'all around for the big stuff I have planned in the future
But again, thank you!
I have “Do Not Disturb” on 24/7
You can’t get a hold of me even if you tried
I’ve set it up so that:
I will check my phone WHEN I WANT TO
Not:
My phone will scream at me when I need to check it
This is how I keep my phone in check and my focus preserved
Try it
Life changed
I'm no longer the skinny kid.
I no longer look at myself with disdain
and I actually love how you look
After 6 years, I've finally reached that point where I can say
"Taylor, I'm proud of you"
Messy desk?
I was the same way
Until I realized that a messy desk is physical brain fog
You can’t focus with distractions on your desk
"But I have tasks that I want to do on my desk"
"But I like my knickknacks"
The fix?
I'll drop the solution tomorrow
Be on the lookout
“7 posts a day is the new meta”
Fuck off
You don’t have time for that
• Post your Tweets
• Do your engagement
• Get the fuck out and live your life
Don’t get sucked in to wasting your life for FolLoWeRs
Let me be honest
I've been basically non-existent on here for the past 2 weeks
I am having some health issues
(I know, 24 years old having health issues fuck me)
But I needed to decided what NOT to do
And Twitter got kicked to the curb while I focus on my health
Yes I'll
If you're tired of the grind
Zoom out
You are:
One step closer to freedom
One step closer to your dreams
One step closer to firing your boss
One step closer to making money online
One step closer to getting all of your time back
Yes you're tired but
You're so close
Keep going
I finally get to send this Tweet?!?
200 followers!!
Thank you all so much!
I know this is another small win but
The small wins create the big wins
Also, thank you to the Growth Army
Joining the GA was the best decision I've made for Twitter growth
I have something absolutely massive dropping next week
• It's my first product and first giveaway
• I've spent easily 30+ hours on it
• It's been a long time coming
But it's finally in a spot where I'm proud of it
Hope you guys enjoy it as much as I've enjoyed building it
2 hours
That's how much time I have left to make progress after:
- 9 hour day job
- 90 minute commute
- Meals + Girlfriend + Stretching
Yet I'm still able to:
- Read books
- Hop on calls
- Write content
- Play with my cat
- Get to bed on time
Productivity is a hell of a drug
Every hour not spent on your phone
is an hour you took back
That could be an hour:
Writing
Reading
On a date
With your kids
With your family
Fighting a dragon
Conquering the world
Becoming supreme leader
The possibilities are endless
Reduce screen-time to increase life-time
Will you think about X when you die?
Right
You won't
Remember, this doesn't matter
Your life does
Don't let follower count dictate how you live your life
Anime titty stickers on a car
Is a constant reminder that person doesn't give a fuck what anybody thinks
And it's... admirable
We should all strive for those levels of “don’t give a fuck”
Why do other’s opinions matter anyway?
We are all going to die
Be dangerously you
The morning scroll is dangerous
It only takes one video and then…
• An hour has gone by
• You’re behind schedule
• Now you’re anxious for no reason
Skip the phone in the morning
• Talk to somebody
• Read a book
• Just eat
Avoid your phone to preserve your focus
I’m changing it up
Adding an off the dome post everyday
Need to be rewarded / punished quicker for post quality
It’ll improve my scheduled posts
Let’s see how this goes
My generation got f*cked
Born with phones in our hands
Sold off to social media companies as teens
The result?
A generation more:
-Depressed
-Anxious
-Suicidal
than ever before.
That's why I'm "the focus guy"
because somebody has to stop the brain slavery
Who's with me?
How to always win:
You don't get to quit on bad days
I used to quit after having a bad day
Didn’t feel motivated
Didn’t work on a project
Relapsed into doom scrolling
“why should I go on?”
That's the sadness talking
Don't listen
Keep going
If you need, pivot on a good day
Whoops
Forgot to post this weekend
Was:
- Celebrating 6 year anniversary
- Restoring the black trim on my car
- Living my life
It's weird
On my best days
I don't think about Twitter
Every time it rains
I think “now would be a great time to go to the gym”
Because I know that nobody else will willing to get wet to go to the gym
It’s that extra work that prevents everyone else from winning
You doing that extra work?
God I miss gangbangs
The meme I posted that is
It was the first time I got risky
showed my personality
and people loved it
so I pinned it to my profile
so people would know my vibe
But I just did my first giveaway and that took its place
RIP gangbang meme
You will be missed
The grind is bullshit
Life is more than just work
You need time for:
• Family
• Friends
• Hobbies
That's why you need focus
You can get more done in 4 hours than others can in 2 days
And then the rest of that time is free time
to do the most important thing
Live Life
Are you one of those dummies that doesn't schedule your day?
A schedule helps you:
• Prevent your day from becoming unorganized chaos
• Give each task urgency because of set time blocks
• Schedule breaks and fun / family time
Schedules are how you win every day on autopilot
836 miles
That's how many I traveled this weekend to:
• Visit my family
• Meet their new cats
• Prep to sell my first car
• Connect with old friends
• Reconnect with my little brother
Family is fucking awesome
How was your weekend?
(p.s. here are some cat pics)
Had a client call
Taught him "the art of missing out"
X perpetuates FOMO in their users
If you miss a day on X
You've missed the:
Replies
Giveaways
Engagement
"You'll never make it up"
But you can
You can miss a day on X to live your life
It's a worthy trade everytime
The BIG why
Remember why you're doing this
It's the fuel for your fire
It's the power behind your punch
It's the reason why you started and why you will finish
It justifies all the:
Struggle
Late nights
Early mornings
Treat your purpose like the Olympic Flame
Always burning
You ever get a DM
and after you respond
they ghost you?
Like bro
Either I'm boring (which is a very real possibility)
or
you only DM'd me to fulfill your DM target for the day
So which one is it?
You ever cheat in video games?
I have
In Skyrim, I used to give myself whatever items I wanted
And then game wasn't fun anymore
I had everything I wanted at my fingertips
and I didn't want to play
The lesson?
The difficulty and uncertainty are what make life fun
Popped my cherry
Here's how my first space went:
• It went perfectly
• Met 44 great people
• Had old friends show up
• Hosted with
@ItsTimBunyan
• Great conversation that was flowing for the ENTIRE space
More of those to come
Spaces puts the social back in social media
For any 16-22 year old thinking about building a business
Start.
Take this from a guy who had to get slapped with a 9-5 before he figured out what he wanted to do
You have what most people (including myself) don’t:
TIME. LOTS OF TIME.
Start to build now
You'll thank me later
One of my buddies died
No not really
He stopped posting on twitter
And stopped his creator journey
He was better than me:
• More followers
• Better Tweets
• and then...
• Nothing
It makes me sad
Lesson?
Don't stop creating
You'll let down more than yourself
In a world without phones, the bouncy ball was king
• Kickball
• Basketball
• The rubber one you got at Old Navy
This is what kids would play with
Before boredom was a disease that needed to be cured
Those were all we needed to entertain ourselves for hours
What happened?
Invest in you
Buy books
Buy courses
Buy coaching
Buy healthy food
Buy time to build skills
Buy a gym membership
Buy good fitting clothes
Buy freedom from your 9-5
Buy solutions to your problems
Investing in you will give higher returns than the stock market
