4 tips to increase your productivity x100
Last night I drove for 3 hours on my way back home from winter vacation and I did some reflecting. I thought to myself "What makes me different than everyone else? Why am I successful? What am I doing differently to be able to achieve what I've been able to achieve?"
I've been making beats for a long time. This year (2022) will make the 20 year mark. Over 5 Billion streams worldwide, 10 Grammy Nominations, 2 Grammy WINS, over 50 platinum records sold and a hell of a lot of hard work and sacrifice. It's weird to even type that or say it out loud. I feel like I'm just starting out to be honest.
During my drive I retraced my steps in the past 20 years. I tried to think hard about what helped to push me the most. It ultimately came down to one thing: PRODUCTIVITY. I came up with 4 tips on what I managed to do differently to set myself apart from other people. I believe these practices ultimately played a role in my success as a music producer and I would like to share them with you:
1. Pursue things that are fun
Joy is the key. When you find joy in something, you tend to keep doing it over and over. You make time for it. You don't let small things get in the way of you creating time to do it. You don't procrastinate because you're getting an immediate reward of satisfaction and joy. Because of this power, you can spend a lot of time doing it with ease. If you spend a lot of time doing it, you can become really good at it. You're also more willing to continue to do it for many months or years. The result? You actually become pretty good at the thing you find joy in doing. Being good at this "thing" will provide value somewhere for something or someone in the future.
2. Focus on small tasks only
Every grand idea or achievement is the sum total of MANY small actions/tasks done in repetition, over time. Pay attention to ONLY what's directly in front of you. Hyper-focus on that small task that takes 1-5 minutes to achieve. Studies show that 80% of people finish what they started after only about 5 minutes. The key is to START. Don't overwhelm yourself with all of the different moving parts. Start small and release your worries. Let your current small task dictate what to do during the next 5 minutes after this one. It's like laying down bricks. One brick at a time. Patience and focus. If you're confused or unsure what to do next, use Youtube and Google to research on whatever it is you are trying to figure out (which brings us to our next point......).
3. Be self-sufficient
Try things. Don't be afraid. There is no such thing as perfect. Everything is hard until it isn't. If you don't know how to do something (or never tried doing it) it will be "hard". If there is a task you are trying to accomplish, do some research on it and then DIVE IN. It's an experiment, so don't feel so pressured to think you have to be perfect. No one is judging you. It's your little secret. Playing basketball is technically hard. But for Lebron James (for example) it isn't so hard. Why? Because he's played the game for many years and is a trained professional (remember bullet point #1?). I can guarantee that Lebron's FIRST shot or first dribble was difficult. It became easy over time. He took that first shot and never looked back.
4. Don't wait around
If you have a feeling of excitement, or an idea, or something that you really want to accomplish, the worst thing you can do is wait. Don't wait. Let the excitement fuel your curiosity and drive your physical and mental being to take action immediately. Find 3 people you admire in that particular industry (or whatever it is you want to pursue) and read their books. Watch their interviews. Search them on Youtube. Consume. Learn. Then choose a day to take that FIRST ACTIONABLE STEP. Is there someone you know who you think can give you advice on starting this new idea? Text them now. Do you need tools or equipment to start your new idea? Buy them. If you don't have enough $$$, set a goal for yourself to put some money on the side to save for the investment. The most important thing for you to do is take action NOW. The longer you wait, the more dis-interested or excited you will become. If you wait long enough, your amazing (potentially life-changing) idea could be gone forever.
Whatever it is you are pursuing right now, just know that you have everything right in front of you to get the ball rolling. We are blessed with technology and resources today that we never used to have. Take advantage of this and you will be ahead of the curve.

CRYPTO SCAM RECOVERY SUCCESSFUL – A TESTIMONIAL OF LOST PASSWORD TO YOUR DIGITAL WALLET BACK.
My name is Robert Alfred, Am from Australia. I’m sharing my experience in the hope that it helps others who have been victims of crypto scams. A few months ago, I fell victim to a fraudulent crypto investment scheme linked to a broker company. I had invested heavily during a time when Bitcoin prices were rising, thinking it was a good opportunity. Unfortunately, I was scammed out of $120,000 AUD and the broker denied me access to my digital wallet and assets. It was a devastating experience that caused many sleepless nights. Crypto scams are increasingly common and often involve fake trading platforms, phishing attacks, and misleading investment opportunities. In my desperation, a friend from the crypto community recommended Capital Crypto Recovery Service, known for helping victims recover lost or stolen funds. After doing some research and reading multiple positive reviews, I reached out to Capital Crypto Recovery. I provided all the necessary information—wallet addresses, transaction history, and communication logs. Their expert team responded immediately and began investigating. Using advanced blockchain tracking techniques, they were able to trace the stolen Dogecoin, identify the scammer’s wallet, and coordinate with relevant authorities to freeze the funds before they could be moved. Incredibly, within 24 hours, Capital Crypto Recovery successfully recovered the majority of my stolen crypto assets. I was beyond relieved and truly grateful. Their professionalism, transparency, and constant communication throughout the process gave me hope during a very difficult time. If you’ve been a victim of a crypto scam, I highly recommend them with full confidence contacting:

After over 30 years in the cockpit as a commercial pilot, flying across continents and safely landing thousands of passengers, I was ready for retirement. Like many others, I had put part of my earnings into cryptocurrency—Bitcoin, specifically—as a long-term investment. Over time, that small investment grew substantially, eventually reaching £2,000,000. It wasn’t just a number on a screen; it was my safety net, my future, my reward for decades of hard work and sacrifice. Then, in a single moment, it was all gone. I logged into my crypto wallet one morning and was met with an empty balance—zero. My entire portfolio had vanished. What I later learned was that I had been the victim of a sophisticated form of cyber theft known as cryptojacking. The hackers had exploited vulnerabilities in my system, compromised my private keys, and stealthily transferred every last coin to their own wallets. The feeling? Crippling. I reached out to every avenue I could think of—banks, law enforcement, online crypto forums—but the answer was always the same: “There’s nothing we can do.” I was devastated. It felt like years of planning and saving had been erased overnight. That was until I came across.COINSRECOVERYWORLDWIDE Naturally, I was cautious. The internet is riddled with “recovery experts” who prey on victims twice. But from my first contact with Coinsrecoveryworldwide, the difference was obvious. Their team was transparent, knowledgeable, and deeply empathetic. They didn’t offer empty guarantees—they offered action, and more importantly, they delivered. Here’s what set them apart: Unmatched Technical Expertise Coinsrecoveryworldwide began by conducting an advanced forensic analysis of my case. They traced my stolen Bitcoin through multiple layers of obfuscation—including mixers, tumblers, and shadow wallets commonly used by criminals to launder crypto assets. Their team used blockchain analytics and cyber-intelligence tools to follow the trail where others had hit a dead end. Dark Web Surveillance and Server Penetration They didn’t stop at blockchain tracking. Using legal and ethical cyber-infiltration methods, they breached one of the attacker’s remote servers—uncovering a treasure trove of data: stolen credentials, transaction logs, and access routes. This breakthrough allowed them to identify the specific IPs and even the hardware fingerprints used during the theft. Collaboration with Exchanges and Global Partners Coinsrecoveryworldwide then leveraged their global network and worked directly with several crypto exchanges to flag, freeze, and intercept the stolen assets before they could be laundered or converted. They also collaborated with cybersecurity partners to neutralize parts of the botnet infrastructure the hackers had used. Successful Recovery Within weeks, 95% of my stolen funds—equivalent to £1,900,000—was securely returned to a new, uncompromised wallet. Watching that balance reappear felt like being rescued from a plane crash. I was overwhelmed with relief and gratitude. This experience has taught me that all is not lost after a scam—not when you have the right people in your corner. Coinsrecoveryworldwide didn’t just recover my funds. They restored my sense of justice, safety, and peace. They are not just another tech firm—they are specialists in real-world cybercrime intervention. They combine unmatched technical acumen with genuine care for the people they help. To anyone facing the same nightmare I went through: don’t give up. Coinsrecoveryworldwide is the real deal.
