Monday (school and uni)

School was hell.

Constant stress, high pressure and no reward.

Even though I really didn’t care too much about school, I was so stressed out at times I called in sick just to skip a certain class.

Back then I never heard about one single productivity tactic, I didn’t have the motivation or the discipline to start studying at reasonable times, and I certainly wasn’t bothered about getting an A, B or a C grade.

I was the type of student who was kinda just naturally good at school, no matter the subject, so luckily I didn’t have to study much at all.

I actually graduated with a 1.8 Abitur (which is pretty strong) after I started studying for maths finals 3 weeks before it came up.

The rest of my finals?

Didn’t study at all for German and English.

Started 3 days before the oral exams of the last 2.

That’s how hard I procrastinated.

After school?

A one year break.

Full of stories I still have to tell you.

But 1 year later?

I made the decision to step back into the education system..

I don’t know what I expected heading into university (I study economics)

I had been on a self-development journey for 10 months at the time, self-educating myself about the topics I actually loved.

From biology to fitness, from psychology to chess, from productivity over focus to flow, and of course, business and writing.

I asked myself if I had to compromise.

How much time I had to put into uni per day.

If the topics were interesting enough for me to study them at all.

Turns out?

Same thing happened as with school.

I am still more or less bored with the topics uni presents.

I still have to do stupid assignments nobody actually cares about.

And I still start studying hard only 3 weeks before the exams come up.

Like right now.

2 weeks to go to write 4 and half exams on 4 topics I couldn’t give 2 shits about (marketing is pretty interesting tho)

But the difference?

I’m pressured, sure.

But I know what to do.

I don’t feel constantly stressed.

There’s no procrastination going on.

I don’t feel like I there’s this force of uncertainty following me around, the feeling of doomsday pressure existing in my mind at all times and fucking up my mental headspace.

Why?

The things I learned actually paid off.

The focus stuff, the productivity things, the time management.

Absolutely invaluable to know and practice if you’re trying to build a business, posting online every single day, networking, learning, going to uni and hitting the gym daily.

I’m just happy I get to teach what I know online.

As you may know, I’ve hopped on a few calls in the last days and weeks.

Now?

Prices are $10 for the next round of people.

Simply because of the results I delivered to my clients:

(feels good to know your work is actually valuable to people)

Here’s how they work:

• you tell me about one issue you have with productivity

• we exchange a few ideas and potential strategies to solve them

• afterwards I’ll send you a customized game plan you can follow to fix your problems long-term

I’m opening up limited spots for these calls in 2 days.

If you want an extra bonus on top of a half-hour call, you can join the waitlist by replying to this Email with “focus”

One call is already gone.

I’m down to 4 spots.

Act fast.

See you soon,

Henri
