A ‘Now’ Page or What I’m Up To

Updated 31st October from Playa del Carmen, Mexico

This is a now page inspired by the project by Derek Sivers. It’s like an ‘about me’ but less boring ;)

What I’m thinking about right now

1. If life were a game, how would you win?
2. If I don’t have stimulants (or external validation/insecurity) driving me forward, what is my motivation to do anything?
3. Can I create a life where I don’t feel the need to procrastinate or gravitate towards cheap dopamine?

Firstly, I’m figuring out what to do with my life.

After a lifetime as a medical doctor and then another lifetime as a digital nomad and entrepreneur, I am going all in on writing.

And, after being “Dr. Emil”, “entrepreneur Emil” or “Emil the bodybuilder ” I figured I would shed the labels and go with Just Emil for the ongoing evolution and exploration of what I am thinking about.

I’ve lived a few different lives. Pics of the author.

This is currently manifesting as a newsletter and my daily(ish) writing here on Medium.
