The Arsenal

Tools for The Architect.

“I do not hoard tools. I select them. These are the few, essential levers I use to run a high-performance creative business.”

The Operating System

The Digital Stack

The Brain

Obsidian

The only note-taking app that respects your data ownership. It is not an app; it is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for your thoughts. Get My Setup Guide →

The Factory

Notion

I don’t use Notion for notes. I use it for Project Management. This is where the “Assembly Line” lives (Kanban boards, Calendars). Get Dashboard Template →

The Bridge

Readwise

The glue that holds the system together. It automatically syncs my Kindle highlights and Twitter bookmarks into Obsidian. Try Free for 60 Days →

Mental Models

Required Reading

Rick Rubin

The Creative Act

“This book is the spiritual foundation of my system. It teaches you that creativity is not a ‘doing’ but a ‘being.’ It taught me to build a Vessel.”

James Clear

Atomic Habits

“The manual for installing the system. ‘You do not rise to the level of your goals, you fall to the level of your systems.’ That quote changed my life.”

Cal Newport

Deep Work

“The currency of the new economy is the ability to focus. This book explains why the ‘Distracted Masses’ are losing, and how to become the ‘Focused Elite’.”

Physical Infrastructure

The Studio Gear

I believe in “Buy Nice or Buy Twice.”
