If in doubt, sleep on it.

Me flooding my schedule with calls and meetings because my brain can't stop looping on one thought, and "Pull Work" is the only thing that breaks it:

Without consistent, high-quality execution it’s hard to have a big vision because the vision feels delusional.

A domino habit is one daily behavior that autocorrects the rest of the day by making it much more likely that you’ll nail all of your positive habits. Once you know what your domino habit is, hit it no matter what.

@sweatystartup iRestore for sure. I have a bunch of their devices and constantly recommend them to my friends. The one to go with!

What is the best red light therapy system to get? Want one for the face and one for the body with panels.

Spiritual practice is time-intensive, and as non-spiritual as it seems, spiritual progress is often made or stalled simply due to time management skills.

The best tool I’ve found to balance professional progress with free time is to compress your workday into one, 3-6 hour completely unbroken block, done immediately upon waking. You can nail big professional goals with that block, and after that, you’ve got full freedom to do whatever you want.

Any disposition without humility at its center is delusional.

You can't detox dopamine. It's a neurochemical you can't function without. But through overstimulation, you become desensitized to it. Think of it like your ROI on dopamine. How much stimulation do you need to feel rewarded? The less, the better.

Improving in business is about making slightly better mistakes faster and faster.

Most people would radically increase their daily output by eliminating their morning routine, waking up and immediately working within 90 seconds, then doing a reboot routine after 1-3 hours of work to recover and reset before their next flow block.

Joy is inversely correlated to the amount of uncomfortable emotion being suppressed in any given moment. Emotional suppression up, joy down and vice versa.

My weekly flow flywheel (where I allocate all of my flow states onto my calendar for the upcoming week, based on my goals) is always the highest leverage ninety minutes of the week. If you start doing it, it’ll probably become the highest leverage part of your week, too.

The golden rule: get two to three hours of productive flow on your highest priority task before you turn on or even touch your phone.

Allostatic load is the accumulation of wear and tear on the nervous system as we go through life. If we don’t have a process to systematically flush out and clear allostatic load, eventually it accumulates to the point where flow is inaccessible.

Forcing yourself to work no more than a specific number of hours per week will make you more strategic. The increased leverage you’ll get from being more strategic will more than compensate for the limited hours.

If you fail to metabolize emotions as challenging things occur in your life, you’ll start to accumulate baggage. Baggage = strategies to avoid these emotions (numbing, suppressing, avoiding). This baggage distorts behavior and perception in ways that are impossible to predict or control. This is one of the primary ways people’s lives get derailed.

You finally realize the "productive person" you envied isn't smarter. They just stopped carrying their entire life in their head.

The fastest way to speed up your brain is to slow down and get everything out of it.
