Hello & Welcome,
I’m Tariq — a dad, husband, writer, coach, and serial founder.
I’ve spent 17 years building companies, designing systems, and understanding the people inside them — what helps them focus, stay disciplined, and create work that matters.
I run One Task Today, a coaching system that helps founders cut noise, stop procrastinating, and execute with discipline.
I'm also exploring the agentic workplace and how founders can thrive in an increasingly automated world.
This site is my public lab for exploring business, technology, discipline, and the craft of building alongside intelligent machines. I write to clarify my thinking and build to test it — then share what works: essays, reflections, notes, and build logs from the messy middle.
If my writing resonates, subscribe to The Reflective Operator — my Founder focused newsletter on focus, behaviour, frameworks and what it means to build with intention in an AI-shaped world.
And if you’re curious about the projects I’m working on, you can find them via the sidebar on the homepage.
