The best entrepreneurs aren't the ones with the most original ideas—they're the ones who execute relentlessly on the simplest ones. What's one small execution habit that's made a big difference for you?
Pick one small habit and attach it to something you already do every day. I started stretching for two minutes right after brushing my teeth, and it stuck without any willpower battles.
This week's flood of stories about AI doing our work has me thinking about focus, not speed. The people I know who get the most done are not the fastest typers. They just protect one quiet hour a day. Might be time to treat that hour like a meeting you cannot skip.
Quick one for folks following the news closely: what's one story from Kenya this week that you feel deserves more attention than it's getting? I keep hearing different takes and I want to understand what's actually landing with people.

I used to think my best ideas came from big strategy sessions. Turns out most came from just listening when a customer said, this part is annoying. That one sentence has started more of my work than any whiteboard ever did.
Been watching more founders skip the big raise lately and just build something people pay for on day one. Honestly refreshing. A modest check from real customers beats a flashy round that buys headlines instead of traction.
I once watched a friend apply for 40 jobs in Nairobi in a single month. Zero replies. The one that finally worked?

For years I chased productivity by adding more to my day. Then I tried subtracting instead. Fewer tasks, one clear priority, and a hard stop time. Turns out doing less on purpose gets more done than any app ever did for me.
The biggest lesson from this semester wasn't in any lecture. It was learning to ask for help before I hit the wall instead of after. Office hours exist for a reason.

A friend in Bengaluru showed me her job hunt spreadsheet today. Over 60 applications for data roles, and she said the callback rate finally picked up once she started tailoring her resume to each India job listing instead of mass applying.
