The essence of joyful productivity - the Energy Reboot - and what it's done for me...
Daily energy reboot is the secret of working lightly. My secret of staying healthy and personally sustainable, working focused hours more consistently than most people, even though I’m actually easily distractible. But I keep returning, returning, returning... In this lesson's video I describe the foundation of the Energy Reboot.

Joyful OGI 😊
Welcome to our final lesson. After journeying from the first spark of OGI, through the craft of creation, to the strategy of sharing, we arrive at the most important part: ensuring this practice serves you for a lifetime. You now have a complete and powerful toolkit. This final lesson isn't about adding another new tool. It's about ensuring that you can use this toolkit in a way that feels sustainable, joyful, and deeply nourishing for you. Because ultimately, the energy with which you create, is the energy your content carries into the world. Here are a few core principles to carry forward to ensure your OGI practice remains a source of fulfillment, not burnout. Celebrate small wins In a world focused on big results, it's a radical act of self-kindness to celebrate every small step. Acknowledge yourself for capturing a great OGI spark, for finishing a "good enough" draft, for being brave enough to hit "publish," for receiving one single comment. These small celebrations build momentum and rewire your creative process for joy. Incorporate rest cycles Rest is not a luxury; it is a non-negotiable part of the creative process. It's during periods of rest and integration that your subconscious often does its best work, connecting ideas and allowing new OGI to surface. Honor your need for breaks – daily (stepping away from the screen), weekly (taking true days off), and seasonally (longer periods of replenishment). Reconnect with your "One Caring Person" Whenever you feel lost, discouraged, caught in comparison, or pressured by metrics, return to this foundational practice from Module 1. Bring to mind that one kind, supportive person. Creating with the simple intention of connecting with or helping them will always bring your focus back to what truly matters and dissolve creative anxiety. Establish joyful rituals How can you make your creation time feel less like a chore and more like a sacred or enjoyable practice? Consider creating a small, simple ritual. It could be making a cup of tea for your "OGI Dates," playing a specific playlist that helps you feel creative, or a two-minute meditation to center yourself before you begin. Set gentle boundaries Burnout is often a result of porous boundaries. Protecting your creative energy means making conscious choices. This could look like setting specific times to check and respond to comments (rather than being on all day), giving yourself permission not to create when you are feeling depleted, or saying "no" to opportunities that don't feel truly aligned. Protecting your joy is protecting your OGI The joy, curiosity, and authentic presence of the creator is the ultimate source of resonant OGI. If your creative process is fueled by pressure, resentment, or exhaustion, that energy will inevitably seep into your content. Therefore, tending to your own well-being and finding joy in the process isn't a distraction from your work; it is the very foundation of creating soulful content that lasts. To close our journey in this course, let's reflect on this core principle. Please take some time with your journal to explore this final prompt: "What brings you joy in sharing your OGI, and how will you protect that joy going forward?" Thank you, truly, for your presence, your courage, and your co-learning throughout this entire course. It has been an honor to facilitate this journey! 🙏🏼 To close our community loop together, feel free to comment below and share your reflections. What brings you joy in this process, and what is one practice you'll carry forward to protect it? 😊 Let's celebrate our progress and our commitment to a more soulful way of creating! 🙌🏾

Letting go of expectations. Treat like a game or experiment or challenge. Staying in a state of flow and see what happens.

It was joyful to access my voice and share in this beautiful way, and have allowed myself breaks (they are a bit more unstructured now, but slowly easing into more rhythmic breaks)
23 11:07:51 Michael Williams, memoirstudio.ca:
Rewarding my work flow with nourishing breaks (a nice coffee in a cafe in a different part of the city; a wander around a local bookstore; take a friend or family member out for a meal). Take myself out for a nice lunch or dinner. Buy an audiobook or book, go to the library and learn something new.

Ways I dislike -- and ways I like -- for you to ask me questions 😅
Thank you for engaging with my courses! I truly am grateful to be able to support you, my students and clients, in growing your authentic business. It’s what I love doing the most. 🤗 At the same time, since I'm (mostly) a solopreneur, I also need to keep healthy boundaries with those I'm supporting... so I hope you will keep these in mind... Ways I dislike getting questions: Social media private messaging -- whether it's FB messaging, IG dm's, Twitter, LinkedIn etc... I really dislike getting questions through those channels because it's hard to organize messages in those places. Kindly refrain from asking me questions via social media direct messages. Email -- I don't mind getting questions via email if it's enrollment-related: something you need to clarify before signing up for my courses or programs. If it's questions related to the content of my courses, e.g. concepts, exercises, feedback requests etc, please use one of the following methods... Ways I love to receive your questions: Q&A calls -- this is my favorite way to engage with you and take your questions! There, you can ask me anything 🤗 Even if you’re not clear about your question, coming to the call will likely give you inspiration and ideas! You can then ask me about specific concepts, or how to apply them to your business. We can troubleshoot what's not working, or address specific challenges you're having. You can also seek my feedback about anything including your strategy, website, content, offers, or anything else. Click here: George Kao Q&A Calls. Comments under Lessons -- if you can't come to my Q&A calls or would love to get an answer sooner, find the course (George Kao Courses) related to the topic of your question. Go there, find the related lesson, and then comment underneath. This keeps the Q&A focused on a specific topic. I'll do my best to respond to your question within a few days. Members of ABC/MasterHeart -- I'd love for you to post your questions in our private forum, so that you can receive responses from other members. Your questions will also help me prepare for the next ABC Q&A calls. Even if you can't post your questions, you can still come to the Q&A calls and ask directly. Thank you for understanding! 🙏🏼 As business owners / service providers we each need to find a way to keep healthy boundaries in our work! I hope this page/video gives you some ideas for how to maintain a good relationship with your own audience as well. 😊 New as of 2025 -- before you ask me anything, consider asking my Ai chatbot! Whatever course you have access to, my Ai is also trained on that course material, and can coach you step bys tep about the course material. Click here to see how that works
I love this video! And I love this way of channeling questions for highest benefit and lowest drag. Thanks for the clarity and the great processes.

Hi George & Malini, I'm still trying to figure out my meta accounts - I'm not sure why my IG and FB business accounts still won't connect on my meta business page. Do either of you still have office hours available?
@Colin Meadors Yes come to my Q&A call: www.georgekao.com/qa and I'll try to help! Also contact Malini to see what she offers these days -- https://www.mantramdigital.com/contact/
@George Kao ah shoot I'm working during both of the next two calls. I'll check back in after next week to see if there are other times. Also I scheduled a call with Malini but no one showed up - not sure if she is still active with her business.
@Colin Meadors ah, sorry to hear! I'll email her to see what happened. I've also extended your Q&A access for another 2 months, so perhaps you can attend one of my calls in Oct or Nov.
Another guy to contact is Jeffrey Scott -- jeffreyest@live.com -- currently charges only $50 USD per hour, I believe, for coaching and support. Tech-savvy (including with Meta Ads I believe), great communicator, responsive.
@George Kao Thank you George! I really appreciate it. I'll jump on the q&a call ASAP and if we're still stuck I'll reach out to Jeffrey.
@Colin Meadors I've heard back from Malini and sounds like her scheduling software may have been malfunctioning! She said she will email you to coordinate 🙏🏼
George, in addition to loving the idea and practice of the energy reboot, I am equally inspired and moved by your clarity and forthrightness in sharing your spiritual view, and the truth that we are here to love. There is so much more to your pracitces than the practice, and at the same time it all depends on the practice! Very grateful for this teaching.
@Amy Spalding-Fecher Thank you! I'm really glad it resonates. May you continue enjoying and growing your energy reboot practice✨
