Hi! This is Moby.

I am now fully and hopelessly addicted to Claude Code.

It might be useful for you to see how I use it.

What you can expect today:

Enjoy!

P.S: I recently made a client 10X their money within 45 days via LInkedIn ads. Check it out.

From the book Traction and the EO system, I realized the value of just measuring things constantly.

So I took my goals and decided to measure the one KPI that matters to each:

So I track those within Claude. For example, here’s last week:

This way, I know and have a hold of my progress every single week.

If I miss my goals, that’s ok. It’s not about being perfect for me.

It’s about making directional progress every week (yeah yeah that sentence wasn’t AI)

I should be more serious about security, but I want to be able to see this page anywhere in the world.

I want to be able to wake up and look at it while having coffee, driving 120mph, or just chilling. (the middle one might not be true)

So I have it on a webpage that is saved as a bookmark on my desktop and phone. It’s also pinned to my whatsapp messages to myself:

If I type in /weekly, it refreshes the data and dumps in in more detail.

Here’s the output:

Do I remember this data? No.

Do I retain a pulse on it? Yes.

Now let’s talk money.

Sounds scary, but it’s phenomenal.

I used to use Monarch, but now it’s all Claude. And it’s connected to my

I can easily ask it simple questions around balances, cash flow, investments, and it pulls it:

I use Era Finance for this, a product built by folks who used to be at Stripe, Apple, Google and more.

Personally, I don't like to keep a lot of cash.

Mostly because I’ll buy a stupid thing, so I try to route it to retirement accounts or invest back in the biz.

I still end up buying a stupid thing or two.

I don't have a salary, so I want to have access to cash. Ya know, if it all goes belly up. It’s more peace of mind than anything else;

I set up a bar to it(3-4 months of both business AND personal expenses), and Era pulls my records daily:

This gives me a visual representation of whether I've hit my goal. Because once I do, I’ll use the extra cash to:

I prefer this method over checking my balances in an app, because this balance is from

I really should pay more attention to where I spend money, so I just glance at it every day. Here’s what I spent in the biz recently for example:

This way, I’m watching what I spend on.

This way I keep track of what's going on in my life, and I know what is needed to be cancelled:

Looking at balances is nice, but it doesn't help answer bigger questions.

Now, I can ask the questions I need answered:

AI needs context, and I have given it a lot. Here's the major files that I have around my finances:

I’m a Fractional Paid Acquisition lead for B2B companies.

That means I take over the paid ads engine for folks, and get them to scale. Fast.

It’s been a wild month.

Business is going well, but I’ve been on and off the struggle bus mentally.

Part of it comes from working all the time (which is the life I chose for right now).
Part of it is letting things like exercise and friends slip.

But there are silver linings:

Reminds me of this:

I wrote a post about the good times:

Hope you’re doing well.
