The worst writing productivity advice I've ever seen:

"Take a break every 30 minutes."

Are you crazy?

Get in flow, stay there as long as you can, then stop.

You'll write 10x more this way.

Craftsman Writer. Published author, ghostwriter, novelist, poet, comma maximalist. I teach you powerful rhetorical tricks to improve your writing and get paid online.

How to become an amazing writer in 8 easy steps:

1. Read
2. Read
3. Read
4. Read
5. Read
6. Read
7. Read
8. Write

All there is to it really.

People say coffee can't replace water but I think they just don't drink enough coffee.

I'm going to settle this right now:

If you can count it, it's fewer.
If you can't count it, it's less.

"There were fewer emails to read."
vs
"I had less work to do."

Easy.

You can't write something worth reading until you've lived something worth writing.

I'm always amused at writers that outsource everything else.

"I just want to write!"

Dear reader, if all you ever do is write...

...what are you going to write about?

The writer's urge to start 17 projects before you've finished the first one

Read a real book.

X-Twitter rots your brain and spoils your writing.

So do most self help and business books.

Pick up a classic novel instead.

You'll write better.

By age 30 you should have realised writing is the most powerful skill in the modern world.

It's wild how many terrible writers make amazing money because they just keep putting themselves out there and never doubt their ability.

Something to think about

If I was starting over as a writer:

1. Pick 3-5 great books (think Dostoevsky, Tolkien, Shakespeare)

2. Read them weekly for a year

3. Write 1 hour per day

This would realistically put you in the top 10% of writers at the end of the year.

If you followed every tip on promoting yourself you'd never write anything.

Pick one traffic source
Collect emails
Write

That's it. Add more later if you have to.

Writing is a skill, not just a talent.

You can learn. You can practice.

You can get better.

Writer's block is just a fancy word for laziness.

Avoid negatives.

Never write "He wasn't the best of shots"

When you can write "He was a bad shot"

Your readers brain will skip the negative, then have to go back and correct it, which jars them out of the reading trance.

Rephrase it.

Stop overthinking.

Write it. Edit it. Publish it.

Move on to the next thing.

1/100 aspiring authors will start writing.
1/100 of those will finish the book.
1/100 of those will publish.

It doesn't take much to beat the average.

If you really wanted to be a writer you'd turn your phone off.

The writer needs to know everything about the topic.

But the reader should only get the important details.

Never try and cover EVERYTHING in one piece.

Great writers write passionately and edit purposefully

Idea → Working App → Live on Phone
All in 5 minutes.

I didn’t know mobile dev.
I didn’t hire anyone.
I didn’t touch Xcode or APIs.

Here’s what I did:

1️⃣ Open Replit.
2️⃣ Type one sentence: “Build me a project tracker app with reminders and dashboards.”
3️⃣ Scan the QR code. App works on my phone.

3 clicks later → App Store ready.

No backend headaches.
No auth nightmares.
No wasted months.

The lesson: you don’t need to know everything to ship.
You just need to start.

Cancel your AI subscriptions.

I know that sounds dramatic. But I actually did it after 2 years of paying for almost every AI tool out there.

I was opening ChatGPT for writing, research, and summaries.
Gemini for images.
Kling for videos.
Another tool for vibe-coding apps.
Another one for presentations.

Nothing was wrong with the tools. The problem was fragmentation.

Then I moved everything into ChatLLM by Abacus hi AI. - 

One place for all major AI models
GPT-5.2, Claude 4.6, Gemini 3 Pro, Grok 4.1 Fast, DeepSeek, LLaMA, same workspace, same context.


Images and videos without switching products
Nano Banana Pro, FLUX, Seedream, Ideogram for images.
Sora, VEO, Kling, Runway, Luma, Grok Imagine for videos.


Full-stack apps, websites, and SaaS from prompts
Type an idea and see it live. Layout, colors, copy, and logic all editable.


Presentations that don’t feel empty
Simple inputs turn into structured decks with research, charts, and flow.


An assistant who keeps working in the background
Tasks, searches, and workflows progress even when I’m not active.


PDFs become interactive
Upload documents, ask questions, and extract notes instead of reading line by line.


AI text that sounds human
Generate, humanize, choose a tone, and use it as-is.


Real-time web research
Answers come with sources, visuals, and context.


Deep Agent for real outputs
Apps, reports, dashboards, workflows, micro-SaaS.


A code editor that actually supports building
Write, run, debug, and improve without chaos.
At some point, it stopped feeling like using tools.
It felt like working inside one system.

That’s why I cancelled everything else.  Try it now, it’s only $10 a month - http://chatllm.abacus.ai

I thought people were exaggerating when they said “AI agents change everything.”

Then I watched one quietly build an app from scratch.

In a few minutes, it had the frontend, backend, database, and logic in place.
Nothing fancy on the surface - it just… worked.

This is Abacus AI Deep Agent 
An AI agent that handles execution the way a small engineering team would.

👉 http://deepagent.abacus.ai

Here’s what really stood out:

➡️ FULL-STACK APPS FROM ONE PROMPT
UI, backend, databases, and forms created together in one flow.
And now mobile apps too. Describe what you want, and Deep Agent builds a full app you can publish.

➡️ LAUNCH AN ONLINE STARTUP IN MINUTES
Landing pages, login systems, payments, and data storage are handled together instead of pieced apart.

➡️ COMPLEX SOFTWARE & SAAS USING SIMPLE TEXT
You explain how it should look and work.
Deep Agent figures out the structure and builds it.

CRMs, internal tools, Notion-style systems, HR software built for real usage.

➡️ MICRO-SAAS IDEAS THAT FEEL POSSIBLE
Resume tools, niche utilities, and lead magnets ideas that used to feel heavy now feel worth trying.

➡️ APPS & GAMES GENERATED QUICKLY
Sudoku, Minecraft-style games, Conway’s Game of Life, and interactive tools - ready to use as soon as they’re created.

➡️ BUILD YOUR OWN CHATGPT-STYLE APPS
Founder assistants, workout planners, diet tools, research helpers, domain-specific AI tools.

➡️ REPORTS, DECKS & PRESENTATIONS
Charts, visuals, and structured insights put together in minutes.

➡️ SPREADSHEETS → INTERACTIVE DASHBOARDS
Upload Excel or CSV files and get metrics, explanations, and visuals automatically.

➡️ IMAGE & VIDEO GENERATION BUILT IN
Work with text, PDFs, images, videos, and code in the same place.

➡️ TURN RESEARCH PAPERS INTO AUDIO
Deep Agent turns long papers into audio conversations you can actually listen to.

➡️ DEEP AGENT BROWSER EXTENSION
Describe a workflow, and it executes each step automatically with no manual setup.

For founders, this changes how fast ideas can be tested.
For teams, it changes how work gets distributed.

Worth keeping an eye on.

A pattern I’ve noticed in high performers:

They never stop being students.

No matter their title.
No matter how busy their schedule is.

Because they understand one thing:

The world rewards people who keep upgrading.

Not the ones who stay comfortable.

Today, learning a new skill doesn’t require a classroom.
It just requires the decision to start.

And sometimes the right opportunity makes that decision easier.

For the Holi season, Coursera Plus Annual is available at ₹7,499 instead of ₹13,999 (till 9th March).

With one subscription you get access to:

➡️ 10,000+ programs
➡️ Courses from leading universities
➡️ Practical skills in AI, business, technology, leadership and more

Think about it.

One new skill can change how you work.

Two can change how you earn.
A few more can completely change your career path.

Holi is about bringing new colours into life.

Maybe this year, one of those colours could be learning something that moves you forward. 🎨

Keep growing. Keep learning. 🚀

I think we’re underestimating what AI agents can actually do.

I watched Abacus AI Deep Agent take a simple prompt and build a full working app in minutes.

Not slides. Not concepts.
An actual product with frontend, backend, database, and logic already connected.

That’s when it clicked for me.

Most smartphone brands promise everything… and then hide behind pages of fine print.

POCO isn’t playing that game.

With the X8 Pro Series, they’ve taken a fearless stance: All Power. No BS.

To prove it, they launched the Fastest BS Service,
India’s fastest rapper, Gaush, speed-raps competitors’ disclaimers so fast, you can’t even understand them.

It’s clever. It’s bold. It’s uncomfortable… because it’s true.

This isn’t just marketing. It’s category disruption. It’s a statement that authenticity and courage in branding get noticed.

If your product is strong enough, why dilute it? POCO just showed how you dominate with honesty, and a little swagger.

All Power. No BS. 

That’s how you challenge the status quo

I'm not from Mumbai. I was just there for two days for a client meeting.

And yet,  I'm writing a LinkedIn post about a bus I saw there. That should tell you everything.

A Protean Wrapped across a bus in the most confident, colourful branding I've seen in a while.

I had to look it up. PAN services, KYC solutions. eSigning solutions. Fintech APIs. & Other digital backbone.

I've been a user of these services forever. I never knew who built the rails I was running on.

That's the power of Out-of-Home done right it doesn't just reach your eyes. It reaches your curiosity.

One bus. One moment. One Google search. Now I'm writing a post about it.

Motivation is rarely the real problem in fitness.


The drive to the gym.
Crowded floors.
Waiting for your turn on machines.

By the time the workout begins…
Most of the energy is already gone.

This is why consistency breaks for so many people.

Not because they don’t want to train.
Because fitness doesn’t always fit into real life.

That’s where Portl Ultragym shifts the model.

A full workout setup that lives inside your space.

No travel time.
No queues for equipment.
No need to dedicate an entire room to fitness.

Just a compact, thoughtfully designed system that blends into modern homes while still delivering serious workouts.

Because the easier it is to start…

The easier it is to stay consistent.

And consistency is what actually builds results.

"Isko Hara Re!" - Today it’s not just a line. It’s the nation’s collective mood.

OTTplay’s latest IND vs ZIM print ads tap perfectly into the do or die T20 World Cup moment. Running across both HT and Hindustan, the idea captures one unified fan emotion while speaking to audiences in their own language. The entire nation wants this to happen!

The genius also lies in the wordplay. “Isko Hara Re!” cleverly echoes Harare, the capital of Zimbabwe, and the Hindi ad smartly anchors that context so the pun lands instantly with readers.

What stands out is how both creatives carry their own charm. One feels bold and high energy, the other feels rooted and culturally sharp. Same thought, two distinct flavours.

Smart timing. Smart writing. Smart cultural connect.

Catch the action and get 30+ OTTs in 1 App at OTTplay.

I was flipping through a magazine today when a full-page ad stopped me.

“The best camera we’ve ever made.”

At first glance, I thought: Okay, another serious camera brand pushing its gear. The styling, the setup, everything screamed professional photography. I was ready to move on… until I opened the French window.

And that’s when the twist hit.

The camera… slipped into a pocket. And the line read: “It’s also a smartphone.”

In that moment, it all clicked. Xiaomi isn’t just building smartphones anymore they’re building professional camera experiences that happen to live in your pocket. Leica co-engineered imaging, 200MP continuous optical zoom, Photography Kit Pro all the tools a photographer dreams of, yet all inside a device you carry every day.

It’s simple, but brilliant. A print ad that surprises, delights, and tells a story in just two moments. One glance and you see a camera. Open it, and you see the future of smartphone photography.

This is how storytelling in print still works. Smart. Unexpected. Memorable.
