7PS: That tiny fix 🀏🏽


Read time: 1 minute, 352 words.

Everyone was trying to fly by building bigger engines and bigger wings.
​
The Wright brothers focused on one small problem: steering.

They added a cable and pulley system to warp the wings.
​
That tiny fix made the first flight possible in 1903.

They did not rebuild the whole machine.
​
They tightened one screw and took off.
​
Where can you tighten one screw instead of rebuilding the machine?

⚑️ Productivity
​
​Notta. Record, auto-transcribe, get highlights and action items, then export to docs. Handy when you want the substance of a call without rewatching the whole thing.
​

πŸ’° Wealth
​
​
The Two-List Expense Cull
Make 2 lists: the ten purchases that reliably bring joy or utility and the ten you barely notice. Keep the first list sacred. Attack the second list every month: cancel, downgrade, or bundle. Automate the savings into a "freedom" account you don't touch. This method raises savings without feeling like deprivation because you're cutting indifference, not delight.
​

🎡 Music
​
​
Sleep by Max Richter. 8-hour suite designed to be heard while resting. Slow strings, soft piano figures, and hushed voices create a weightless drift that lowers the room's temperature.
​

πŸ“š Books

The Art of Noticing by Rob Walker. 131 quick prompts sharpen how you look, listen, and notice patterns, which improves creative work and daily life. It’s practical, playful, and easy to try immediately.
