Maybe some of you haven’t seen Limitless with Bradley Cooper, so here’s the premise: a stuck writer takes a pill that turns him into an all-knowing genius.

After that, he writes a best-seller in just a few days and then does a whole lot of other cool things.

This movie inspired me. Sure, it’s fiction, but since I first watched it almost 10 years ago, in the back of my mind, I’ve always tried to find things — be it physical or psychological — that would unlock my potential in a similar way.

Lately, I feel like I’m onto something. In the last few months, I lost 15 pounds and counting, I outlined my new novel in detail, I started an email list (and people actually sign up and love what I send) and all this, while I’m raising a toddler and a 5-month-old baby during a raging pandemic.

I’ve never been busier, yet I’ve never been more productive.
