I started writing a year ago. Now, the craft is my life.

Here’re 9 Reasons Why Writing Every Day is the Ultimate Habit for Success:
Writing Wins Decisions

Most people don’t consider the impact of their decisions.

They react and then act.

Writing makes you think deeper:

You reflect on consequences and think second-order.

The effect of improved decisions compound over time.

The impact?

Massive.
Writing Destroys Worries

We suffer more in imagination than reality.

Easy to hear, hard to apply.

There’s never a problem you can’t tame with writing.

It brings understanding
It brings rationality
It brings solutions

It quietens the monkey mind, so you can do great things.
Writing Opens Your Eyes

Too many people skim the surface of life, staying superficial.

But life is about depth, not breadth.

Writing about experiences opens you up to more.

You notice subtleties about the world around you.

And with this,

You see opportunities most miss.
Writing Accelerates Learning

You don’t know if you know a topic until you write about it.

You notice gaps in knowledge.

It forces you to understand.

It helps you retain.

Write about what you learn.

Take your mind to the gym.

Writing Unfucks Your Head

Society bombards us with information.

The result? chaos.

Writing brings order to thoughts.

You build self-awareness.

You understand why you think the way you do.

Knowing this, you can shape your life around your desires.

Not everyone else's.
Writing Shares Your Vision

Your ideas are pointless if you can’t express them.

And online, it’s not the best ideas that are rewarded.

It’s whoever communicates them.

The good news?

Writing isn’t what they teach at school 👇

Writing Teaches the Mind

Effective writing and psychology go hand in hand.

Biases are everywhere.

Persuasion techniques are rampant.

Writing helps you understand both.

So you can thrive in the modern world.

Writing Unlocks Creativity

Creativity thrives under constraints.

And writing is simply constraining your thoughts to page.

This opens your creative ability.

And online, you are rewarded for your mind.

So unlock it 👇

Writing is a Beacon

The internet is an intellectual playground.

The more you broadcast your thoughts, the more you find people who resonate.

You build connections.

An audience.

A tribe.

The expression “Your network is your net worth” has never been more relevant.
I can go on and on as to why you should write.

But the only evidence you need will come when you start.

So set aside some time.

Your ‘sacred hours’ – (thanks @dickiebush)

Start writing.

And watch the world open up around you.

Today, I’ll show you how.

=THREAD= Image
Open Strong & Curious

You have a few seconds to grab your reader.

This is even more true online.

The best way?

Intrigue.

Don’t try to be fancy. Be mysterious.

Sugarman’s opening 3 lines give you no choice but to read on.

He has your attention. Image
Tell Stories.

No one enjoys being sold

But everyone loves a story.

Instead of forcing benefits down your reader's throat, deliver them softly through story.

This way, you bypass early skepticism.

And hook the reader – with minimal effort. Image

Warren Buffett once said his business partner is the smartest person he knows.

So I decided to read every speech he's given on business and life.

Here’re 10 Great Ideas from Charlie Munger to Help You Achieve Success.

=THREAD=
To most, Munger is the ‘sidekick’ to a $530 billion empire.

But he’s also one of the best thinkers alive.

This thread will give you a glimpse into his mind.

And show how success is a series of simple choices.
“Mimicking the herd invites regression to the mean.”

If you do the same as everyone else, you’ll get the same results.

But most people are:
• Unhappy
• Unfulfilled
• Unmotivated

Following society’s standards only traps you in them.

Be bold. Go against the grain.

I fired my first gun when I was 11 years old.

And met the Queen when I was 14.

Childhood in a military school had its perks. The problem?

I was anxious, overweight, and hated every second.

Here’re 6 eye-opening lessons I learned pretty damn early
Pain is Relative

I remember my first morning:

5 am

A soldier screaming at you to get up.

Ice cold showers.

Room inspection.

Parade before school.

It used to be I’d wake up to the smell of breakfast and the comfort of my mum’s voice.

It was a shock.

But…
You recover.

See,

We exist not because of our strength,

But our adaptability

You can use this to your advantage:

Your dreams require sacrifice.

Tough choices. Hard work. Whatever it takes.

But this becomes your 'normal'.

Decide what you need to do.

And you will adapt.

There’s an art to succeeding online.

And @jackbutcher has mastered it.

This month I listened to 33 hours of Jack’s podcasts to understand his process.

Here’re his 10 best ideas condensed into 1 thread (and 5 podcast episodes you can’t afford to miss) Image
Make Noise, Listen for Signal

Most people underuse the internet's potential

There's live feedback at your disposal.

A scientist collects data for their experiments, following the results.

You should do the same with your content.

How?

👇
Produce Prolifically

As you do, monitor metrics.

What works. What doesn't.

Your audience likes you for you.

So when a topic generates traction, double down.

Build up that topic with substance.

And you'll build a data-driven brand.

You're no longer part of the noise.

A lot of people reached out after my thread on reading like Naval

Asking for life-changing book recommendations

Thankfully, I’ve got a few.

Here're 9 books you need to read, 6 books worthy of a reread, and 3 books that you should be reading - every single year

📗THREAD📗
Before we dive in:

Different books speak to different people.

Depending on our lives and what we’re going through.

So I've left a note about why you might enjoy it.

And I’ve tried to pick a few you may not know.

First off, the 9:
Stumbling on Happiness - @DanTGilbert

It’s crazy.

Happiness is the one universal desire.

Yet, we're terrible at achieving it.

Psychologist Gilbert explains the science of happiness,

And how to do it right.
