You’re not short on time. You’re short on priority. Route most of hours into the top moves.

Not every win is equal. One smart bet can dwarf a month of busywork. Hunt levers, not ladders.

When motivation is low: do the warm-up only. Most days you’ll keep going once the body moves.

Stop color-coding chaos. 1. Delete the bottom 50% tasks. 2. Delegate the next 30%. 3. Own the vital 20%.

If you want peace: close open loops. Finish the email, pay the bill, send the message. Peace likes done.

Urgent screams. Important whispers. Turn down the noise, and you’ll finally hear returns.

I kept adding willpower... until I realized the cheaper move was subtraction. Fewer choices, fewer tabs, fewer “maybe laters.” When the day got lighter, the work got heavier, in a good way. Discipline felt like breathing, not wrestling.

Comfort is a polite thief. It never kicks the door. It smiles and asks for “five more minutes.” You? Say no gently and immediately. Small refusals make room for big results.

Most careers stall from yes-inflation. Default to no. Reserve yes for asymmetric upside.

If you lack motivation, visit rich neighborhoods. If you lack gratitude, visit poor neighborhoods. If you lack perspective, visit a graveyard.

People say “work harder.” 80/20 says “aim better.” Goal: fewer arrows, sharper hits. Precision prints.

In your 20s you have: - Few responsibilities - High energy and time - Little in expenses and bills This is the ideal time to do hard things like: - Get big and strong - Start a business - Read lots of books Most people waste this time on parties and bullsh*t. Surpass them.

Sleep is the hidden 20%. Protect 7–8 hours like equity. Everything else becomes easier, including discipline.
