How Mysticism Made Me Productive

Yeah the title sounds crazy — That's exactly the point.

It's crazy but it works.

Everybody strives for productivity. In fact, some people need to give themselves some grace because they'll get worked up when they aren't productive 100% of the day.

This doesn't happen to me.

My productivity is through the roof when it needs to be — and completely relaxed when it needs to be.

The thing about productivity is this: IT DOESN'T WORK.

"Productivity" is a marketing word. It's used by self-improvement gurus (idiots) who have something to sell you. I'm selling nothing. The only thing I'm selling is truth and growth.

Here's a "normal" person's productive:

• Decide to begin focused work

• Gets distracted with a 15 minute "getting ready" routine (procrastination)

• "Prepares" the documents to work on

• Sets their pomodoro timer (that will make them LOSE focus after 30 minutes)

• Gets distracted with minor imperfections and situations

Productivity is bullshit.

These guys can't get focused with their phone in the same room as them. They can't focus unless they have their coffee, nicotine pouch, and supplement stack. And the lights in the room must be perfect. And the document must be on dark mode. And you can only work from a laptop. And must have the blue light blocker glasses on. And can't sustain 20 seconds of focus without their focus playlist.

Imagine how productive you would be if ALL of these things never even had to be in your awareness.

THAT'S what using Mysticism does to benefit your productivity.

Productivity isn't a focus issue — It's a work issue.

If you aren't productive, then you aren't doing the right type of work.

I have found that when I'm working on something with my full heart - open to obsession - my productivity is through the roof because I want to do these things.

You aren't productive because you aren't enjoying the work.

That's why you must lean into the mystic side of you.

Mysticism is simple:

Leaning into your intuition. Finding presence. Flow States. Energetic Alignment (vibes), synchronicity, trust, God, Astrology, Human Design, and more.

Your Mysticism is the guiding force behind your soul.

If that doesn't push you to focus on it, then I don't know what will. If you're still on the fence think about this: Would you rather focus to your life force or download another productivity app or Notion template?

Let that sit with you.

And let's follow your life force…

What is following your life force?

It's obviously unfollow-able if you aren't aware of what it is haha.

Your life force comes in 3 forms:

1) Intuition — Follow the intuitive hits, your strong feelings, and embrace the seemingly "random"

2) Presence — The more present you are during each moment, the closer you are to your life force. You'll begin to see things you've never noticed before.

3) Alignment — Align yourself with your life force. What brings you energy? Do more of that.

These three things have become a constant in my life. I no longer think of doing them — They're rooted in my subconscious.

It takes time and a lot of awareness to get to this point though — And one tool that I absolutely LOVE is Astrology.

Astrology is your life force spread among the planets and the stars.

I used Astrology daily to understand myself.

The greatest part is that it's so unique to YOU. Nobody has the same Astrology as you and nobody ever will. And the planets and stars are always moving around. Astrology changes EVERY DAY (or you can use any time-scale you want)

I explain it very in-depth in my Astrology Deep Dive article.

But put simply, your Astrology Chart corresponds to the Real-Time astrology in the sky. You can learn unbelievable things about yourself. This helps you align your actions with the Universe and the stars.

I use my Star Guide Master Astrologer AI Prompt to do this. If you're interested, check it out here.

My favorite thing that this AI Prompt does is tell me where to best spend my energy for the day. It gives me energy ratings 1-5 Stars based on different energies (like creative energy, communcation, career, money, relationships, etc, etc). If you're on the verge, watch this YouTube walkthrough.

Another amazing tool for energetic alignment is breathwork.

I've done breathwork almost every day in so far in 2025 and I've never been in deeper alignment. I'm in love with every aspect of life. I have truthfully not done anything I haven't wanted to do in the last 3-4 months. This is the most free I've ever felt in my life.

Breathwork regulates your nervous system which completely opens the doors to intuition, presence, and alignment because you're telling your body that you are safe. If your body is in fight-or-flight, it won't have the time or energy to be present.

I do 10-20 minutes of breathwork daily and it has been my favorite practice of all time. DM me on Twitter or reply to this email if you are curious about breathwork!

We got a little off track… My bad haha

Let's actually use Mysticism to be productive:

1) Your astrology will lead you to be in energetic alignment.

2) In energetic alignment, you follow what brings you energy

3) You begin to learn what brings you the most energy, what makes you feel the greatest

4) You WORK on the things that energetically align.

Once you get to step four your works begins to BRING you energy instead of take your energy.

You're productive because you're excited, not because you're focused.

I have found that 100% of the time when I'm excited about a project, I'm much more productive than when I'm not excited about it.

Mysticism works. And in this email we only scratched the surface.

If this seems like your type of thing (or you're interested in learning) reply to this email or shoot me a DM! I'd love to talk and give some guidance.

Thank you for reading!
