§ 01 · The Hook
The bait, then the rug-pull.
Twenty years old, a seven-figure consulting business, a D1 basketball roster spot, and a full university courseload -- all running in parallel from a high-rise flat in London. The credibility stack lands in the first fifteen seconds, and it is designed to make you feel the gap between your output and his before he explains the system that closes it.
Where the time goes.
00:00 – 00:23
01 · Intro -- credibility stack
Front-loads the dissonance: 20 years old, $3M business, D1 basketball, university. Promises 10 hacks from least to most important.
00:23 – 01:00
02 · Hack 1 -- Cut caffeine and nicotine
Nicotine hijacks dopamine receptors and raises the stimulation baseline. Music replaces caffeine as an environmental trigger for focus.
01:00 – 03:00
03 · Hack 2 -- Do a blood test
Understand your body before choosing supplements. His stack: magnesium glycinate, fish oil, ashwagandha KSM-66, vitamin D3, creatine. Physical supplements shown on camera.
03:00 – 05:03
04 · Hack 3 -- Replace willpower with AI and apps
Opal blocks all social/video Mon-Sun 9AM-5PM. Rize tracks time allocation by category. Plaud AI Notetaker captures voice notes and auto-summarizes.
05:03 – 07:38
05 · Hack 4 -- Calculate your dollar-per-hour rate
Live Claude demo calculates $2,170/hr from $211K profit and 7-hour days. Everything below that threshold should be outsourced. EA handles logistics entirely.
07:38 – 08:18
06 · Hack 5 -- Separate sleep space from work space
Bedroom is for sleep only. Phone and laptop charged outside. Plugged-in devices cited as sleep disruptors.
08:18 – 09:16
07 · Hack 6 -- Set a bedtime alarm, not a morning alarm
Sleep until natural waking. 10:30PM ring signals wind-down. Decision quality at business scale justifies protecting sleep length over maximizing hours worked.
09:16 – 10:44
08 · Hack 7 -- Hybrid workout routine
OTS causes energy crashes from pure weight training. Weekly split shown: chest/shoulders, HIIT, bodyweight, 8km run, swimming, basketball, rest.
10:44 – 12:51
09 · Hack 8 -- Cap morning routine at two habits
Everything above two habits is sludge. His two: meditation (ADHD management) and five-minute gratitude journal. Journal shown on camera.
12:51 – 14:01
10 · Hack 9 -- No work on Sundays
Weekly reflection: what worked, what did not, what is next. Hobbies (basketball, chess, reading, vinyl) serve as genuine disengagement.
14:01 – 15:35
11 · Hack 10 -- Batch call days vs deep work days
Mon/Wed/Fri = calls only. Tue/Thu/Sat = deep work only. Thursday dedicated to AI and investing learning. Live calendar and Notion shown.

HOOK opening / re-engagementCTA the pitch
00:00HOOKMy name is Sue Wei. I'm 20 years old. I run a $3,000,000 per year consulting company while being a full time university student and playing d one basketball in London all at the same time.
00:08HOOKPeople always ask me, how do I manage everything? And the honest answer is, I'm not working harder than you. I just have a very simple system that I follow, and I've been able to trick my brain into superhuman levels of productivity.
00:19HOOKNow these are the 10 hacks that you can implement today from the least important to the one that changed everything. The first hack is to cut out all caffeine and nicotine. Now I can easily over all the research case studies and prove that it's bad for you, but the worst thing that affected me was the psychological implication.
00:34Every time I wanted to lock in, I had to have a coffee by my side. I had to have a zen in my mouth. Nicotine literally hijacks your dopamine receptors and increases the baseline level of output that is optimal for you.
00:45And so even though it works now, in the long run, when you keep on relying on these two things, it'll do you more harm than anything. Instead of drinking something or relying on an external source of energy, I simply played music in the background, and that triggered the same implication as wanting to lock in.
00:59Second hack is do a blood test. This was quite literally the easiest hack that I ignored for the longest time, but changed everything for me. You need to understand your body, what it actually needs, what it's lacking, and the only way to do that is by doing a blood test.
01:11Now needles are a bit scary, so I blame you, but I promise you, if you get it done and you place this exact SOP prompt into Claude, it'll give you everything that you need from a to z on the exact supplement stack that you need in order to take your energy levels and your focus to the next level. So this is the exact supplement stack that I take every single day.
01:27The first thing we have is magnesium glycinate. This really helps out with muscle growth, muscle recovery, relax, and help you sleep better, but it won't make you overaligned the same way that melatonin does. The next thing I have is fish oil.
01:38Now I am on my laptop and my phone chronically. I have, like, you know, seven to eight hours screen time because that's my work. I get a good amount of eye strain, and my eyes get a bit red if I look at the laptop too long.
01:47This really helps with that, and it helps with HDL levels. The next thing I take is ashwagandha. Business in general is always very stressful, and there's always something popping up, especially when you're dealing with a lot of people and especially when you have to manage a lot of teams.
02:00This really helps out because it tones down everything. It helps me make decisions clearer because I'm not operating from emotions. So that's ashwagandha.
02:08The next thing we have is vitamin d. Now, I am from Malaysia. I used to live in the sun.
02:13I used to have the sun every single day, and then I moved to London where it's always rainy and cloudy. That means that my energy levels are naturally lower because I'm in a climate like this. So I take vitamin d.
02:23I take two to four tablets of this every single day, two in the morning, two at night, and this really helps me with overall energy levels, and I don't actually crash at two to 3PM. I can keep going until eight to 10PM. This really helps out.
02:36The last thing that we have on the list is creatine. Creatine is something that I take for the gym. Really helps out with muscle growth, muscle recovery,
02:43makes my pumps look better, all of that. This also really helps out with focus, so I take two of these before the gym every single morning. So this is the entire entire supplement stack.
02:50Again, I'm not a doctor by any means, but this is what works for me. Don't copy it. Do your blood work.
02:56Figure out what you need. This is what I need. The third hack is stop relying on willpower.
03:00Use AI and apps to your advantage. I used to struggle with chronic screen time simply because all my work is online. You click on a video, and then you end up watching a video for two, three hours.
03:10So what I've done is I've basically created all these systems. I literally physically cannot scroll more than three times or something will pop up. And the reason why this is important because this keeps my dopamine baseline so low that the boring work that I do in my business feels fun because I'm not used to scrolling.
03:25For screen time, use Opal. This is how my setup looks like. I literally have everything blocked.
03:29It's on Monday to Sunday, 9AM to 5PM. I essentially block everything social and video, so I can't watch Amazon Prime, Discord, Facebook. Everything that you can imagine being distracting,
03:39I can't actually access it. Now if for some reason I need to access it for, let's say, research, all I have to do is I can go here. It'll make me wait for six seconds, and then the max I can use is fifteen minutes, and then finally, it allows me to actually use Instagram.
03:52Let's say I click end break. As you can see, I literally cannot physically enter Instagram if I wanna go to YouTube. It doesn't work, but I can only access it once I
04:01stop a break five minutes, and then it allows me to go on YouTube. Now the next is Rise. Rise is super, super killer.
04:08This is extremely good if you wanna track where all your time is going. When we say that you're working ten hour days, how many of those ten hours are actually going towards the right things? And this allows you to do that.
04:16I have my calendar built out like this. I can look at a week to week basis. As you can see, I can look at exactly what I'm doing.
04:22I was refining system components, developing productivity systems, all of that. I was actually writing out this video that you're seeing right now.
04:28The beauty about this is that you can see exactly where your time is going, whether or it's productive, whether it's miscellaneous, what is going on. I'm someone that always has ideas in their head, and for me, I used to go on my notes app and just type it in, but this has been an absolute game changer for me.
04:42This goes on the back of your phone, and so it's with you all the time. And whenever I'm coming up with a thought, instead of me writing it down, I press on this button for three seconds, it'll automatically record everything that I'm saying, and then the moment that I'm done recording, I can press on this again for three seconds, and it'll create a complete AI note summary based on exactly what I went over with actual steps at the end.
05:02It's a game changer. The fourth one is calculate your dollar per hour rate. This is something that my mentor taught me, and this changed everything.
05:09We went from making around, you know, 200 to 400 the next month simply because I got more tie back that I can put towards work and the business or even just what I wanted to do in my free time. Every single person has a dollar per hour rate, and you can essentially outsource everything below this dollar per hour rate as long as you put that towards work and you make more money.
05:26So let's say your dollar per hour rate is a $100 per hour. If you spent two hours cleaning your house, you may have think that, hey, I saved money. You know, I spent two hours.
05:33I cleaned my house. Everything is sorted, but you could have paid someone $50. What you didn't realize is you spent $200
05:39to save $50, and so you actually lost a $150 because you didn't outsource your cleaning
05:46to someone that could have done it for $50. If you're cooking your own meals, you can easily hire some type of meal prep service or Uber Eats. If you're driving around, you can easily call an Uber and take calls while in the car.
05:55If you're managing your own financials, you can hire a bookkeeper. Man, I would even go to the extent of not even buying groceries, and I have on Amazon, you can buy things on a subscription.
06:05So every single week, we have new sets of paper towels, new sets of groceries, new sets of cloths, new sets of everything in our house, so I don't even go to the grocery store. Now, if you're a baller and you make a lot of money, hiring an executive assistant is the best thing that you can do. I have an EA, and she literally books flights for me.
06:22She books hotels for me. She calls Ubers for me. She makes sure that all my stuff is dialed in.
06:26She handles all my bills, all my payments, my electric bills, all of that with my company card. I don't have to worry about anything. I could spend time with my loved ones, my friends, my family, do more work instead of just worrying about all these little things that pop up in your life.
06:40This will change your fucking life. I'm I'm telling you. Alright.
06:43So I know some of you guys will want a full walkthrough on exactly how to calculate your dollar per hour rate, so let's do it. My revenue last month was $4.00 8, and my profit was 311. And so what I do is I tell this cloud, hey, my profit
06:58was 311,000. I'm just gonna give a rough estimate, 211 k,
07:04uh, and I worked a good amount. I worked seven hours every single day. You can cross check with my Google Calendar.
07:11What is my dollar per hour rate? I don't work on Sundays. If you're not using AI for everything, I don't know what you're doing.
07:19So that means my profit per hour is £1,700. What is this in USD?
07:25My per hour rate is $2,170 per hour. That means everything below $2,000 per hour, I can outsource, and I'll actually make money on that if I just put it towards work or put it towards something that I actually enjoy.
07:37This is a easy way to calculate your dollar per hour rate. The fifth one is don't work in the same room that you sleep in. This is such a small thing, but keep your bedroom just for sleeping and just for rest.
07:46And so whenever you enter that bedroom, the only thing that you're doing is you're switching off your mind, you're switching off your brain, and you're sleeping. When you do everything in one same spot, your brain subconsciously can't figure out what it needs to do, whether it needs to work or whether it needs to sleep, and it confuses your mind and your body.
08:01Treat your room like a temple. I avoid having anything in my room completely. Even my phone, I charge outside here.
08:07My laptop, I charge outside here. Emit as little radiation as possible. Everything that you charge, everything that you have plugged into the wall that has electricity, try to keep it outside your room because those emit radiation, which can affect your sleep.
08:19The sixth one is don't set an alarm clock. This is piggybacking off of the last one. Your sleep is the most important thing that you can do to increase your focus and productivity,
08:26so protect it. Instead of having an alarm clock for when you wake up, having a lock up for when you go to bed. Your energy is everything, and especially at a higher level, you can't operate from being tired and from being drowsy and sleepy.
08:37Give your body as much rest and sleep as it needs, and when it has enough, it'll naturally wake you up. Every night, my phone rings at 10:30, and that means it's a signal for me to get ready for bed and try to be in bed at 11PM sharp. Now as perfect as I wanna seem,
08:51that's just not the case sometimes. Sometimes I can sleep at twelve, sometimes I can sleep at one, but the most important thing is that I'm not having an alarm clock that rings in my ear and wakes me up and makes me feel a little drowsy in the morning. I sleep as much as I want simply because decision making is so important for me at this level of business that I'm operating at, that I don't wanna risk sleeping less and working more, but operating at a lower frequency.
09:13Stop setting alarm clocks in the morning and start setting them at night. Now, the seventh hack is stop doing just weight training. When people think of being healthy and getting in shape, people think that, oh, I have to lift a bunch of weights and go to the gym every single day, but that type of training style is good, but not for energy levels.
09:30If you're anything like me, then you want to train every single day. You wanna sweat. You wanna feel good about yourself, and what you're suffering from is OTS.
09:37It stands for overtraining syndrome. I didn't think this was a thing, but it actually is a real thing. This essentially states that you feel like you need endorphins or you can't function properly,
09:47which makes you feel, in in other terms, shit about yourself. I remember when I was first getting in the gym, I would train every single day. I'd eat as much protein, drink all the creatine, pre workout, everything, and I always crashed after the gym, and it was because my training split wasn't optimal.
10:01You should have a hybrid workout routine, and what this means is still do your strength training in the gym, but have zone two cardio where you go on hikes, you go on incline walks. Have zone three cardio where you're doing basketball, running, football, do mobility exercise like stretching and yoga.
10:15All of these things are important. I'll give an example of what my routine looks like. On Monday, I did a chest and shoulders workout.
10:20On Tuesday, I did a high rock circuit. I got my cardio. I got my blood pumping.
10:24Wednesday was a body weight workout, full body, just a bunch of push ups, squats, pull ups, dips. Thursday, we went on a eight kilometer run. Friday, I did swimming.
10:32I did 30 laps of freestyle and 10 laps of breaststroke. Saturday, I played basketball, and Sunday, I took it easy. Switch up your workouts, do different things, have some fun, try different sports,
10:42and your body will thank you for it, you'll get more energy levels from it as well. The eight pack is don't have more than two routine habits. The reason why I say is because everything above two is sludge.
10:51It's extra things that you have in your workflow that delay the work that you actually need to do to get done. I've seen a lot of people have these crazy morning routines where it's, you know, they wake up, they meditate, they journal, they ice bath, they hit the sauna, and then they drink their supplements, they ground, and then they go work.
11:07And it's like half your day is already fucking wasted. There's no point of doing all that bullshit.
11:12You know? Let's let's be honest. Find two habits that really make a difference in your life, stick to those, and only do those, and then get to work.
11:19For me, that's meditating and journaling. Journaling really helps me because I'm always wanting to chase that new outcome and that new record month. And even though that's great in business, it can be very easy to not be happy with where you are, and so writing my journal allows me to practice gratitude.
11:31So this is a five minute journal, and it literally means what it says. It's a journal book where you talk about what you're grateful for, what would make today great, and daily affirmations. It takes not even five minutes.
11:41I think it literally takes one minute for me to fill all of this out, and then at the end of the day, I talk about what are the highlights of the day and what did I learn today. It is such a simple thing, but especially since you're always wanting more as an entrepreneur, as a business owner, it's very easy to get caught up in not being grateful for the situation that you're in because you wanna achieve this other outcome, and you feel like happiness only comes when you achieve this goal.
12:03Happiness comes from enjoying every single day, and so I've been using this for the last two months, and it has been an absolute game changer. I wrote it on my birthday. Was, 2021.
12:12Blessed to be able to spend my day with my loved ones. This is heading in the right direction. I hit 25 k yesterday.
12:17I have this on my bedside table. I filled this out the moment I wake up and the moment right before I go to bed. Super easy to be grateful and just happier.
12:26Meditating allows me to be in control of my thoughts, actually be aware of what I'm thinking, and make me realize that, hey, some of these feelings are temporary. It's not how I am, it's just how I feel with the current state that I'm in. For those who don't know, uh, I grew up with severe ADHD for majority of my life.
12:39I could not sit still. I was hyper, and I was extremely emotional.
12:43I threw temper tantrums all the time. And so these two things really kept me grounded. Find out what works for you and do it.
12:49Alright. These hacks are only gonna keep on getting better. The ninth one is don't work on Sundays.
12:54It can be very hard to shut off your mind and always wanna work because you think that you're getting ahead. Even though that's those are amazing things, taking Sundays off has allowed me to do exactly that by doing less. I take Sundays off all the time to just sit down, reflect on how the week has gone, what did I do well, what did I do not so well, what can I do better, what I need to do the next coming week?
13:14It really allows me to be hypercritical of what I'm doing on a week to week basis, and especially as a founder, wherever you put your time ultimately dictates whether or not your business grows. I also have hobbies outside of work. I'll let the other student get to that.
13:25Alright. So when I say hobbies, not everything should be about work. For me, it's so important to wind down.
13:31My hobbies are basketball, reading, chess, like, a bunch of boring shit, if I'm being honest. But something that's helped me wind down is just having something like this.
13:40I got this from my girlfriend for my birthday, and it's just a nice vinyl. I listen to a of GIVI on.
13:48It's so cool. You know? It's like it's just like a way to wind down, way to chill.
13:52I have a candle on, put on a movie, like that that's what I'm talking about. Like, you you don't have to just work all the time.
13:59It's a marathon, not a sprint, and have fun. Alright. So the last and final hack that I have for you that changed everything for me was not taking calls every single day.
14:08I have set days where I only take calls, and I have set days where I only work on deep work activities. The reason why is because you are constantly putting on different caps, uh, and trying to be the person that can manage the team, but then also trying to be the person that can make opportunities for the team and do all of these things, and you overwhelm yourself, and you sweat yourself thin.
14:26You need to have set days for specific topics and specific tasks and specific calls. This is what my calendar looks like. As you guys can see, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday are the days where I take calls.
14:37And then Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday are the days where I actually do work. And you can see how intentional I am. The only thing that I'm doing on Thursday
14:45is learning about AI, AI, learning investing, and that's it.
14:49I don't have a million things that I'm doing on each day, and then I also have my Notion where I have everything on my to do list, and as you can see, I'm basically done with everything that I need to do today. On top of that, I have it for every single one of team. Being intentional with your time like this is gonna make such a difference.
15:03CTAIntention, the little intricacies to detail is what will allow you to get ahead of your competition, and that's what I've done in order to get to this point. These are the 10 hacks that I've learned in my five years of being in business,
15:14CTAand trying to balance everything that I'm doing on the professional side with the school, with the basketball, with the social life, and everything. And this is what has worked for me. Take it with a grain of salt, I don't need you guys to implement everything.
15:26CTAImplement one or two things that you think will really help you, and you'll see a drastic difference and drastic change. Hope you guys enjoyed this video, and I'll see you guys in the next one. Peace.

§ 05 · For Joe
Ten systems that make willpower irrelevant
WHAT TO LEARN
The through-line across all ten hacks is identical: make the decision once, in advance, so no mental energy is spent making it again in the moment.
- Nicotine raises your stimulation baseline over time, making undrugged focus feel worse -- cutting it is about recalibrating what counts as normal, not about short-term health.
- A blood test before choosing supplements converts guesswork into a protocol -- deficiencies in vitamin D or magnesium suppress energy without obvious symptoms.
- Blocking apps at the system level rather than via willpower keeps the dopamine baseline low enough that routine work feels rewarding rather than dull by comparison.
- Your dollar-per-hour profit rate is a decision filter: any task that costs less to outsource than your hourly rate is a task you should not be doing yourself.
- Separating call days from deep-work days eliminates the context-switching tax that makes 10-hour days feel empty -- the cognitive mode for managing people is different from the one for making things.
- Setting a bedtime alarm instead of a morning alarm treats sleep quantity as an input to decision quality, not a variable to minimize for extra hours.
- Overtraining Syndrome is real and underdiagnosed -- pure daily weight training can generate a dependency on exercise-induced endorphins that tanks energy when you skip a session.
- Capping your morning routine at two habits removes the ritual bloat that consumes the first hours of the day under the cover of feeling productive.
- A weekly reflection without output targets (what worked, what did not, what is next) is a navigation tool, not a rest day -- it redirects weekly effort toward the right activities.
- Genuine hobbies that have nothing to do with work function as a cognitive reset -- reentry to work after real disengagement is sharper than after a shortened day.
