The Drop In
Your weekly Flow-State OS for peak performance.

Most people are working harder than ever and feeling further behind than ever.

Not because they lack discipline. Because they never designed the system underneath the work.

The Drop In is a weekly newsletter for executives, founders, and high-performers who want to think more clearly, focus more deeply, and build a life that reliably produces their best work.

Fifteen editions in. No hacks. No listicles.

Just a weekly practice of getting below the noise.

What you'll find here:

Each issue covers one idea at the intersection of flow state science, attention design, and how to work with AI without losing your cognitive edge. Every edition ends with a Praxis — one specific experiment to try this week.

Short enough to finish before your first meeting. Dense enough to stay with you all week.

Recent editions:

Want to go deeper? Beyond the Prompt is a 3-week AI workflow sprint for people who are ready to build the whole system — not just read about it.
