## Blog

- [Why I Only Do Three Things a Day](https://vinodsharma.co/blog/why-i-only-do-three-things-a-day): I used to add 15 to 20 items to my list every morning, work all day, and still feel behind. Then I found the top 3 rule. Three focused things a day is 15 a week, 60 a month, all of them the ones that actually move something forward.
- [I'm 53. Full-Time Job, Startup, Content, Family. Here's My Daily Schedule](https://vinodsharma.co/blog/my-full-week-daily-schedule): A lot of people ask about my schedule, so here it is: the full week. A 4am start, a full-time job leading three teams, a startup, content, gym, and family. It all fits, but only because I follow a system.
- [The Second Brain Concepts Worth Knowing in 2026](https://vinodsharma.co/blog/second-brain-concepts): Six organizing concepts behind the modern second brain: PARA, Johnny.Decimal, MOCs, Zettelkasten, GTD, and Diátaxis. What each one is, and the problem it solves.
- [My Setup](https://vinodsharma.co/blog/my-setup): The gear on my desk. What I use to build every day. Some links are Amazon affiliate links — I earn a small commission if you buy through them, at no extra cost to you.

- [The Claude Code Skill I Use to Put Any Repo Live on Its Own Domain](https://vinodsharma.co/blog/ship-a-site-to-vercel-with-a-custom-domain): The last mile of shipping a site is always the same: deploy it, then wire up a real domain. I turned that whole flow into one Claude Code skill. Deploy to Vercel, point a Cloudflare subdomain at it, done in a few minutes.
- [The 4 Analytics Tools I Add to Every Website I Build](https://vinodsharma.co/blog/analytics-i-add-to-every-website): I ship a lot of sites. Every one gets the same four analytics tools, wired the same way, in about twenty minutes. Here is the stack and why each one earns its place.
- [Pageviews Don't Show Your Funnel. A 10-Line Helper Does.](https://vinodsharma.co/blog/track-your-funnel-with-one-datalayer-helper): GA4 counts who showed up. It does not tell you what they did. Here is the tiny dataLayer helper I use to track a whole funnel, forwarded to GA4 by a single Tag Manager tag.

- [For Years, Everything We Discussed in Meetings Disappeared. Then I Built an Agentic System.](https://vinodsharma.co/blog/most-meetings-disappear): For years, every meeting I sat in evaporated when the call ended. Then I stopped trying to capture them by hand and built an agent that does it for me.

- [At 52, My Second Brain Finally Works](https://vinodsharma.co/blog/second-brain-at-52): I joined Tiago Forte's Build a Second Brain cohort a few years ago. Loved the framework. Could never keep up the maintenance. Over the last two months, that changed. I built five AI operating systems using Claude Code and Hermes-Agent. Here is what is different now, and the one that I keep thinking about.
- [I Disappeared From Social Media for 3 Months. I Came Back a Different Builder.](https://vinodsharma.co/blog/disappeared-for-3-months): I went quiet on social media for three months. No posts, no comments, nothing. I went deep with two co-founders. One is a marketing genius. The other runs a 7-figure ad agency. What 90 days of silence and proximity actually taught me, and why I would do it again.
- [How I Added AI Search Visibility to My Personal Site Using Claude Code](https://vinodsharma.co/blog/how-i-added-ai-search-visibility-to-my-personal-site): My personal site was invisible to AI search engines.
