Jack of All Trades, Master of None
There's hardly anything I don't like. I love to watch anime and TV series (Invincible and The Boys are the best hands down) as well as play video games with my friends. In my free time, I also do calisthenics, play basketball, practice Taekwondo, and cook. I want to learn how to play the ukulele, but that's been a struggle. Even though music isn't my strong suit, there's never a time you'll catch me not listening to music.
Professional Background
I graduated as valedictorian of my high school class in 2022 and am now attending the University of Texas at Dallas as a 4.0 GPA full-ride National Merit Scholar. I also received several additional external scholarships amounting to over $22,000. I currently work as a certified EMT for both Acadian Ambulance Services and an officer for University Emergency Medical Response (UEMR). I am also an undergraduate researcher studying the effect of obesity on oviduct progenitors and tissue homeostasis. In the future, I hope to attend medical school and work as a dermatologist, anesthesiologist, or interventional radiologist.
Why did I write Productivity 101?
As a college student, I just want to have fun. Whether that's just hanging out with my friends or pursuing my hobbies, I want to have more time to do the things I want to do while taking care of my responsibilities. That's the spark that fueled my interest in productivity.
But as much as I hate to admit it, I can be pretty lazy sometimes. While I was interested in improving my own productivity, I used to scoff at the idea of ever reading a self-help book because honestly, who has the time to read all that?
But then I stumbled across someone on Tik Tok talking about a book called Steal Like An Artist by Austin Kleon. One of the chapters was "Write the Book You Want to Read," and that got me thinking, "If I did read a productivity book, what would it be like?" Well, it'd be:
- short
- easy to understand
I didn't need 5 billion examples of why a certain method was good. Just tell me what it is, give me one or two good examples, and give me a way that I can actually use that method in real life. Basically, just get right to the point.
And now, here we are! I'm really excited to see how Productivity 101 can transform people like me who want to improve but either don't know how to get started or are too lazy to open up a 500-page book. To learn more about Productivity 101, click the link below:
