I build things, teach myself what I need, and share the systems that work.
Creative Mind Habits has been running since December 2018. It started as a place to document projects and share what I was learning. That hasn't changed — but the focus has sharpened.
The short version
I've ghostwritten over 50 books. I passed the PMP certification in 3 months. I have an MBA in AI in Education. I build web apps solo. I'm teaching myself Korean in my spare time. None of this came with a manual — I built systems for all of it, figured out what worked by doing it, and threw out what didn't.
This site is where I share those systems.
What this is for
If you're someone who prefers to figure things out yourself — whether that's writing a book, building a side project, learning a new skill, or just getting better at getting things done — this is built for you.
Everything here comes from real projects. The templates are ones I've actually used. The tools I recommend are ones I reach for daily. The build logs are honest about what worked and what didn't. I'd rather show you something messy and real than something polished and useless.
The Operating Principles
Progress over polish — Ship it, then improve it. Waiting for perfect means waiting forever.
Build in public — Show the process, not just the result. The middle is where the useful stuff lives.
Systems over motivation — Motivation fades. A good system runs whether you feel like it or not.
Learn by doing — Read enough to get started, then figure the rest out by building.
Make useful things — If it doesn't help someone do something, it's not done yet.
