@Aboundlessworld @kodjima33 What should we do together

Yo @maneesh you should do something with @kodjima33

@guyfriedman @ramit Grab a usb c extender, i use it all the time either for badly places power ports or to extend hdmi

@ramit Small tip: - a super long charger cord for your phone (sometimes plug too far from the bed or airport plug) - canvas bag for incidentals vs your nice travel backpack - Starbucks via instant coffee for emergencies - good light windbreaker/shell

Some unconventional ways I travel: DO: - I use an SOP (standard operating procedure) document, which includes my airline/seat preferences, what time I prefer to fly/land, when to economize and when to splurge, and more - I add 50% to any hotel sticker price — that's the real cost. $500/night = $750 after taxes, tips, meals, treatment. If that number is too high, shorten the trip or stay somewhere cheaper - Every ~10 days of travel, we have one completely unscheduled day - I send a pre-arrival letter to hotels. My wife and I don't really drink so we'd prefer berries instead of a welcome gift of wine DON'T: - We don't book many high-end food reservations. It's just not for us - Eat food on plane (even business class). True luxury is bringing your own food and walking off a plane feeling great - We never book a trip and show up to "see the sights." Each trip has a theme, how we want to feel, and we focus the travel around that. We pin items ahead of time, then we can be spontaneous while we're there, knowing we'll see a few magical things we've already set an intention for - Treat trips as "once in a lifetime." We know if we love it, we can come back I have more specific ways I travel (next tweet)

@ramit This is great advice. I want those berries

@joelrunyon @ImpossibleHQ @braunhagey Holy woah

"It always seems IMPOSSIBLE until it's done" @ImpossibleHQ

@joelrunyon @ImpossibleHQ @braunhagey Holy shit

@ramit How do you define the number? Very interesting idea.

In my opinion, there is a net worth # where you're simply not allowed to complain about how much something costs any more I reached that #. Now I don't complain about price. I know how much things cost & I spend eyes wide open Wealthy people: Try it. You can just not complain

@ProductHunt Bad habit? Snooze? Electric shock ⚡️

@ramit I was in NYC last week and found the variety of pricing amazing. Went out for happy hour in Greenwich Village for $6 cocktails. Later that night, a couple blocks away, the same drink was $21. Both packed!

Cocktails in NYC luxury hotels are $36 as of last year This was the highest I’ve ever seen. Bulgari Paris. Beautiful hotel

@kadavy 80 min sleep timer

You’ve waken up early to go to the airport. Check flight status: Delayed two hours (for crew rest regulations). When do you go to the airport…? (It’s not a nice airport and you don’t have lounge access.)

@kadavy Sounds like it’s time for you to join me in a wilderness survival trip

Unless you mean the upstream goal, which is to hypnotize myself into thinking primarily in text. Also rehabilitate my dopaminergic system so I can better mentally queue up goals I feel motivated to achieve, and feel more sensitive to whether what I've written is stimulating or not.

The phrase I keep telling myself as I finish my next book is "devastating focus." I've cut out movies, TV, almost all video, and my weekly round of golf. My default entertainment mode has become reading or studying Latin. My phone is set to black and white. I want this project to be surrounded, to have nowhere to hide. I have index cards in my writing spot, and when I sit down, I repetitively write phrases such as "there is only this," and "other ideas can wait." It's a form of self-hypnosis, and while finishing a book always involves a good amount of paint, it surprisingly feels like a heightened state of existence.

@LewisHowes Who cares about people you don’t like or respect. Just do what you do

Is it better to be "respected" by people you don't like or "liked" by people you don't respect? 👇

@kadavy Got it

@maneesh What do you mean, finish the book obviously

@kadavy Takeaway from this convo: never pee before 5pm

@maneesh Once I've broken the seal all hell breaks loose

Follow the First Hour Rule: Spend the first hour of your day working on your most important project, and your most important project, only.

@kadavy This could be us

Ever read an example in a book that makes you go, What!?

@kadavy At 2x speed though. Right????

People will ask ChatGPT for a summary of a book, then binge a seven-episode docuseries with less information than the Wikipedia entry.

@kadavy I wanted to share the information and content( how to make video games, and helping teens learn to program) as much as possible to help other teens be able to achieve their goals!

@maneesh Why did you want more people to have access to it without paying?

Pirating a book from a living author should be punishable by death.

@kadavy About 3.5 years. I started in 1999/2000 and it was published in 2003/2004

@maneesh How long did your book take you to write?
