How the Founder of RadReads Finds ‘Extreme Simplicity’

Summary
Khe Hy, founder of RadReads and executive coach, spoke to Every about how his productivity and organisational routines have evolved over the last 10 years, delving into the details of his predominantly simple systems and tools in a world of increasing complexity and clutter.
Hy is committed to Tiago Forte’s PARA method and Notion, using them to manage his work, while using Omnifocus for certain projects, alongside Drafts to quickly capture ideas.
He has, however, simplified his workflows, largely moving away from digital and turning to pen and paper for daily todo lists, which he limits to five items, and habits, rather than tasks.
Therapy has helped him realise that his motivations for using such systems are frequently fear-based and this has pushed him to simplify, partly adopting AI tools such as Claude and OpenAI’s GPT to help him understand and replicate his voice for social media and to deconstruct his coaching sessions.
He has also been using ChatGPT’s Advanced Voice Mode to learn how to code with Cursor and AI-features within Descript to edit his podcast.
Lastly, he uses Perplexity as a Google substitute.
