If you’re reading this, chances are you are where I was.
Skilled, hardworking architect, but somehow stuck.
But it doesn’t have to be that way.
I’m living proof that you can shift your mindset and your life to get more money, more time, and less stress.
This is what I learned.
A few years back, I thought being busy was cool.
I would do lots of things at once, work on several projects, answer hundreds of emails, check social media everyday, you name it. I felt busy and important.
But, I was always stressed. My work wasn’t that great, and I had zero free time. This is what I call “distraction cancer.”
Then, one day, I came across with a guy named Naval Ravikant.
He talked about “doing what you love”, and it made me think.
What if being an architect could be more than just a way to pay bills?
What if it could be something that makes you feel happy and fulfilled?
So I started trying to understand this idea better.
I no longer design architectural plans.
I used to be a regular architect, drawing plans and making buildings come alive.
I did this for a long time, over 10 years, and I loved it.
But a few years back, I decided to try something new.
I became a content creator.
I’ll never forget the moment when I realized how trust could change my career as an architect.
Even though I put my heart into designing, things didn’t go well with the client.
We had trouble understanding each other, missed deadlines, and costs started to climb.
Despite my best design efforts, there was a gap in trust between us.
I’ve got a little secret to share.
I have a severe memory issue.
After a while, I can’t remember some things. Like a nine digit phone number. Or a street address. The names of some people I just met.
Or the menu I had yesterday.
That’s why I’ve built some great productivity systems.
