Over the years, I have tried many systems to stay productive and accountable. This is my latest, and I have high hopes for this one 🙂

Business & Productivity Data

It’s a giant DAILY infographic to see everything I am doing in a snapshot. These are the metrics that matter.

  1. Revenue Goals Progress: Track actual revenue against target goals for each project. This is to maximize.
  2. Daily Revenue: Revenue earned per day from Nov 1, 2025. This is to maximize.
  3. Daily Time Distribution: Hours worked per day across different projects. This is to maximize.
  4. GitHub Activity: Contribution graph showing coding activity over the last 365 days. This is to maximize.
  5. Screen Time (Daily Usage): Daily phone usage. This is to minimize.
  6. App Usage Distribution: Apps where time is spent/wasted. This is to minimize.
  7. Project Time Investment: Breakdown of time spent across all tracked projects. This is to balance.

I can generate this infographic at the click of a button! So this whole process won’t take me more than 5 minutes per day!

I am working on only 4 projects right now. This is to stay focused. EVERYTHING else gets thrown into a queue as a future product or feature.

  • Project 1: StartupBolt is the ENGINE. It runs many of my own and my clients’ projects.
  • Project 2: Affiliate Marketing is my laboratory. I conduct experiments here with my own products and affiliate products.
  • Project 3: Proferex is my main product. I don't sell this on X, it's B2B. This is going to be a $50M-valuation company in the future.
  • Project 4: CalorieBeat is my first B2C app. It will be tested using Proferex and by conducting Affiliate Marketing tests.

All these 4 projects have a feedback loop that improve each other. That is the strategy.

Day 7 of 150 Review:

  1. Reducing screen time is a major goal. Next week one of my main goals will be to minimize this as much as possible.

  2. I am working, but last week was very ops/admin-heavy, not “asset-building heavy”. If Proferex + StartupBolt + CalorieBeat are the future 50M engine, I’d try to force at least 1–2 hours/day on them, even on admin-heavy days. Even a single 45–60 minute block on Proferex or StartupBolt keeps compounding.

  3. Content is king. As much as you work on analytics and performance, you also work on content. It could be banners or videos or landing pages. It makes a huge difference in revenue and profit. I might even say that content is 90% of the equation, as good content doesn't need a lot of performance optimizations.

  4. This means you spend a lot of time creating content and testing content to find winners. Once we have great content, scaling is much easier. Without it, scaling will be very hard.

  5. Once the product is ready, do a lot of marketing. Until maybe like $10k+ in sales. You primarily do that by creating content and placing it in front of people, and having a funnel that ends in conversion. Collect improvement data from customers, but don't code. Once you reach your sales target and reach a feature list threshold, build out more features. Once you hit your first major sales target ($10k–$50k) you should tighten the development loop too, but not before.
