Work smarter, not harder isn’t a cliché — it’s a system. I coach founders to replace themselves through automation & async communication. See how on Carbon Voice → talktoari.com. Join Less Doing Labs: lessdoingacademy.com. No fluff, just results. #LessDoing
What one part of your week creates most of your progress, and what system protects it?
Give the vital few a repeatable place in your week.
I run 32 agents. Trello made it manageable. Give an agent a task and it makes a card with all the details before it starts. Slack holds the log, which I almost never read.

At 16 agents I stopped hiring. Admin and PM first, then customer service, then legal. I export a WhatsApp group of ~95 lawyers to my agent every day and it pulls out what matters.

Wore a medical sleep monitor for one night.
In bed: 6h 44m
Asleep: 4h 15m
Breathing disruptions: 7.7/hr
Diagnosis: mild sleep apnea. My Oura hinted at it, but I'd never had a clinical measurement.
You can't optimize what you haven't measured.

What do you still hand off with step-by-step instructions every time, because you never defined what owning it looks like?
Delegation is a ramp, not a switch. Pick one task and decide what the next level up looks like.
Wispr Flow analyzed how I use voice dictation and called me "Blocker Buster": I use voice to dismantle obstacles, handle tasks without escalation, and prompt people to address blockers. Accurate. Referral link: wisprflow.ai/r?ARI59 What would your voice profile say?
1/ 48% of American adults have used a sleep tracker. In 2023 it was 35% (AASM survey). For some, the tracking itself becomes the problem. It has a name: orthosomnia. Here's a week-long reset I'd try. (Thread.)
11/ Day 7. Keep, change, or drop the experiment. Then drop the metrics you didn't use. Tracking in service of an experiment is useful. Tracking as a habit is a hobby.
