Private notes, made public. · 25th Sep, 2026

Hey, it’s Gabriel.

These are my private notes this week on building wealth, raising my family, and breaking generational patterns.

This week
⚡ I have ADHD, so I built a JARVIS
❤️ I asked for my mornings back, and found out what I’d really lost
💰 why Coinbase is one of my longest bets
🧬 I bought a home gym so I’d run out of excuses

⚡ THE LEVERAGE

I have ADHD. So I stopped holding things in my head.

I resisted this one for months.

Everybody has seen the Jarvis videos by now. Somebody talks to their computer, a glowing screen talks back, and it looks like the future. I kept scrolling past them. Most of the ones I looked at were pretty dashboards sitting on top of a chatbot. What runs behind the screen is the part that matters, and behind most of those screens there wasn’t much running.

So I didn’t build one. For a long time.

What changed my mind was the work behind it. Once my agents were actually doing real jobs, with real access to my notes and my calendar and my business, a voice on top of that stopped being a toy.

I have ADHD. With voice mode, I just say it, and my agent either does it now, schedules it, or hands it to a worker.

Nothing has to sit in my head anymore. A thought shows up, I say it once, and it’s handled.

For a brain like mine, that’s the fix. What wore me down was holding it all at once. Now I don’t have to.

Here’s what that looked like this afternoon. I was talking, not typing. I approved an email and had it scheduled. I asked why some overnight jobs failed, and it fixed them. I asked it to book a webinar, and it did. Each time, I said the job and went straight back to what I was doing.

My Jarvis screen

My Jarvis screen this afternoon: what my agents are doing, and what’s waiting on me.

When I typed to my agents, I sat there and watched them work. Tab open, waiting for the reply, half-reading, not really doing my own work either. Now I say it and move on.

These days I play games while it runs. When my agent needs me, it comes to me with a question. I answer out loud, mid-game, and the work carries on. Nothing sits in my head. I only get pulled in when there’s a decision to make.

It’s almost like having a real human collaborator sitting beside me.

I told my members on Tuesday’s call that working this way “feels more like a collaboration.” And the closest I could get to describing it was this: “almost having a partner beside you to talk to you while you are working.”

If you want a Jarvis like this, I’m giving mine away for free inside Two Hour CEO. Doors reopen next Wednesday, 30 September. Join the waitlist here and you’ll be the first to hear.

What are you holding in your head right now that you could just say out loud?

The Uncrowded Take: Stop holding tasks in your head. The moment one shows up, say it out loud and let it get done now, scheduled, or handed off. Then go back to your work. The rule I’m keeping: never sit and wait on an agent. If you are watching it, you are doing its job and yours at half speed.

❤️ THE PARTNERSHIP (Marriage & Parenting)

I asked for my mornings back. What I’d really lost was my evenings.

In #026 I told you about the pact Zoey and I made in Bangkok. Lights out early, up early, together.

When we came back from Thailand, it worked. We were waking up early, and I loved it. I felt more in control of my day. We had breakfast together, just the two of us, before the house got loud. It was one of the best stretches I’ve had in a while.

Then it slipped, the way these things do. Not in one night. Just a little later each evening, until the mornings were gone again.

So a couple of weeks ago I told Zoey how much I’d loved those mornings, and asked if we could try again.

What went first was the evening. The hour after work, which I had quietly handed back to work. I’d finish the day, and then keep going. Another message, another build, another thing that felt urgent at nine at night. Late nights meant late mornings.

I had spent all my attention protecting the hour before work. Nobody was protecting the hour after it.

And that hour is where my family actually gets me. The early mornings gave me breakfast with Zoey and a day that felt more in my control. The hour after work is when my kids get me, and when Zoey and I get to be people again instead of logistics. I was in the house for all of it. I just wasn’t home.

Which hour of your day have you given away without deciding to?

The “Uncrowded” Move: Protect the hour after work as hard as you protect the hour before it. Pick the time your workday ends, tell your spouse what it is, and then close the laptop at that time, even when something feels urgent. Especially then.

💰 THE PORTFOLIO

I’m betting on agentic finance through a company that benefits if it takes off.

The Position: In #027 I told you I’d opened a starter position in Coinbase. I bought it on 4 September, the day I sent that issue, and it’s up about 8% since. It’s a small bet for now, and I plan to build it to at least 5-10% of my portfolio over the next year.

I’m not reading much into that. Coinbase is going to go up and down, and it’s likely going to be volatile. A month’s move tells me very little.

The Thesis: What I care about is the long run. Coinbase is going to be one of my main long-term bets, and the reason is agentic finance: AI agents handling money as part of the work they do for us.

I’m convinced that’s coming. What I don’t know is which project wins it. Nobody does yet.

So I’m not trying to pick the one crypto token that ends up on top. I’d rather own a company that benefits when agentic finance takes off, whichever project wins. If agents end up moving money through crypto, they need somewhere to do it, and Coinbase is one of the places I expect them to go.

Signal vs. Noise: The noise is the monthly move, up or down. The signal is whether the thing you’re betting on keeps getting closer. When a new wave is coming and you can’t tell who wins it, bet on who benefits from the wave instead of trying to name the winner.

I own Coinbase shares. This is not financial advice.

🧬 THE PROTOCOL

I just bought a home gym. The point was to take away my excuse.

The Setup: I bought a Speediance Gym Monster 3, a smart all-in-one gym that lives at home.

The reason is simple. I wanted to cut out the travel. Getting to the gym and back was eating up time, and in a tight week it was the first thing I’d drop. It would buy me back 30-40 minutes a day (travel + waiting for equipment)

This is a season of my life where I’m working more, building more, and starting a new company. I want to make the most of my time, and I don’t want to leave myself an excuse.

So buying this machine is a way for me to remove the friction and not drop what’s important even when I get busy.

The Honest Part: I’ve only just bought it. I have no results to tell you about, and I’m not going to pretend I do. I’ll use it for the next couple of weeks and report back on how it’s actually going.

The Uncrowded Take: In a building season, cut the friction, not the training. When life gets full, most of us drop what’s important instead of paying to remove the friction. Look at your own week and ask what stands between you and the thing you keep skipping. Then remove that, and keep the thing.


As promised, my private notes. No fluff.

See you next week,

Gabriel Judah

P.S. Saying it once and letting it get handled is what I build with members inside Two Hour CEO. Doors reopen Wednesday 30 September at 6pm Singapore time, with 100 new places, and the waitlist hears first. Join the waitlist here.
