The Energy Investment Portfolio

August 24, 2022

Hey friends, This week, our team members are taking their Summer Sabbaticals. This is a week where “business-as-usual” is put on pause and people fly off for their summer holidays and/or to work on their personal projects. With the office quietening down and with a little more time on my hands, I’ve been thinking about […]

The “No-One-Cares” Mindset

August 10, 2022

Hey friends, I had a thought in the shower the other day while singing at the top of lungs to my favourite Hamilton song. Why is it so much easier for most of us to sing in the shower than in public? And why is this so even for my friends who are good at singing? There’s […]

The Energy Ledger

July 27, 2022

Hey friends, One of my goals this year is to learn Mandarin Chinese. But I’ve been struggling to keep the momentum going. Between book-writing, video-making, and business-running, I’m struggling to find the time to learn a language. At first, I told myself that I’m just procrastinating from it. But recently I had a thought: maybe […]

Learning to surf and write

July 13, 2022

HHey friends, A while ago a friend told me that his most productive writing time is when he’s on holiday. I was skeptical at first. Surely it’s better to do the hardcore writing when you’re in the office in work mode? But I discovered something recently when I went on a surfing trip to Morocco. […]

Why we suck at asking for help

June 29, 2022

Around a month ago, I went on a retreat with a group of startup founders. One thing we spoke about is how many of us struggle to ask for help. A week or so after that retreat, my book editor Rachel said to me: “I feel like you don’t ask enough for help.” Since then, we’ve started […]

The Helper’s High

June 15, 2022

Hey friends, Last week went down really well on the writing front. We went on a team retreat in Wales and stayed in this amazing Air BnB. The goal I set for myself was to write a draft for Parts I and II of the book during the retreat. I embraced the “crappy first draft” […]

You’re not lazy if you procrastinate

June 1, 2022

Hey friends, Lately, I’ve been experimenting with writing at night and it’s working surprisingly well. It’s a tip that I got from our editor Rachel who says that our creative juices get going at different times in the day. I’ve been having moments late in the evening where I feel like I’m in the zone […]

Self-doubt and changing my mind too often

May 18, 2022

Hey friends, This week, I spent quite a lot of time on Zoom chatting to a bunch of people familiar with the book-writing world. It’s been both reassuring and alarming. It’s reassuring because it’s just nice to know that there’s a pool of experts where I can get feedback and share my concerns. I feel […]

Am I too boring to write a book?

May 4, 2022

I’ve been thinking about some personal stories that I want to include in my book as a way of sharing what I’ve learned about work, productivity, and happiness. Lately, most of the stories I’ve been thinking of are from my days as a junior doctor pulling long nights on a hospital ward. And I got […]

I went to Paris for 20 hrs to write my book

April 20, 2022

Hey friends, I recently took a 20-hour trip to Paris with some of my team to work on my book. I’ve been working with BookTuber Jack Edwards for some time on shaping the book and Jack happens to be one of these cool people who lives in Paris and takes sunset runs near the Eiffel Tower. We […]
