A lack of systems will cause Karoshi...

In Japan, they have a word…

Karoshi.

It means “death by overwork.”

And it’s not a metaphor.

People are quite literally dying from 60+ hour weeks, unpaid overtime, and a culture that treats exhaustion as a badge of honor.

But here’s the thing…

You might not be in Japan.

You might not be clocking 80-hour weeks.

But you still feel it.

That low-grade exhaustion.

The constant “catching up.”

The pressure to always do more — and the guilt when you don’t.

The burnout isn’t just about hours.
It’s about imbalance.

Imagine your life as a pie, sliced into four parts:

1. Work

2. Relationships

3. Mind

4. Body

Most people’s pies are 80% work and 20% “whatever’s left.”

But research shows the ideal distribution is 25% each.

That’s 28 hours per week per category.

28 hours for connection.
For rest. For work. For exercise. For learning.
For being human again.

But there’s a problem…

Even if you want to live this full-circle life — your system isn’t built for it.

You wake up, open your laptop, and stare at a messy Notion.

You see a hundred tabs, scattered thoughts, half-finished tasks, and dashboards you haven’t touched in months.

It doesn’t give you clarity.

It gives you anxiety.

That’s why I built the Life OS.

A Notion dashboard that helps me manage my entire life — work, mind, body, relationships, and money — in one clean system.

It’s not just a template.

It’s the same system I use daily to:

• Plan projects & tasks

• Track habits

• Reflect weekly

• Manage finances

• Organize my thoughts

• And avoid burning out

Everything is interconnected. Everything makes sense.
And most importantly… it gives me energy instead of draining it.

If your current setup isn’t making your life easier — it’s time to upgrade.

This isn’t just for people who want to be more “organized.”

This is for people who want to be in control.

Of their time. Their energy. Their direction.

No fluff. Just systems.
