already finished the music video, that was a fun little experiment

I really proud of the personal productivity loadout built I created in an apple shortcut.

Here's what it does:

• Starts with a voice over affirmation to get me excited and motivated to work.

• Controls my Lighting environment; increases screen brightness and sets my ambient lights to white/blue  (Blue light makes me more awake.)

• Sets my focus mode to 'DND'

• Opens AutoFocus in Apple Music (an amazing work focus album designed by leading psychoacoustic experts)

• Opens my Commonly used AI tools in safari; Suno, runway, Midjourney.

• Opens the ChatGPT desktop app and splits screen with safari.

• Sets a pomodomo timer with a 5m break every 25m, pauses music on breaks and has a voice alert when break starts/finishes.

• when work is finished it changes my ambient lighting to relaxing tones, lowers screen brightness, and logs a calendar event for the work session

  It's a really powerful setup for me, it has environment, music, tools, structure, and psychological accountability all built in. I find I'm more productive, focussed and efficient. I used to work on projects randomly throughout the day. Now I can get it all done in like 2 hours.

If you wan't to try it out yourself you can Download it here for MacOS, you will need to customize it though. So you need some experience with shortcuts. (note: the wait timers are set to 60sec and 20sec for testing purposes. set them to 1500s and 300s respectively for accurate pomodomo timer)

I’m lucky to have the freedom to work on whatever I want. Thanks to what I made from NFTs and living/spending pretty simply, I get to choose how I spend my days. Today I feel like making a music video, so I will. No one telling me what to do, no pressure, no expectations. It’s a great spot to be in, and I’m really grateful for it.

The music deal didn’t go through. I made a bold request: a $50K advance, $20K in tokens (immediate vest), 50% of the royalties, and 0.5% equity in the company.

It might sound like a lot for someone with no musical abilities, but I’ve built a strong name in the AI music scene. I have the most played song on the top platform, and a proven record of generating hits on Suno.

That should count for something. I wasn’t about to sign away exclusive rights in exchange for possible NFT sales and a cut of streaming revenue, especially since streaming pays almost nothing and NFTs aren’t really hot anymore.

I LOVE it when Suno gets real weird and produces an interesting song.

No label, no box, just sound that makes you feel something new.

That’s where the magic lives.
