6 ways to invest your focus for a higher quality of life:

— Thread —
Focus is a currency.

Where, how, and to what frequency you invest it will determine every good or bad thing about your life.

Small investments of focus in these areas will lead to an abundance of money, good relationships, and mental clarity.
1) Lever-Moving Tasks

Every day you should have a number of important tasks. These should move the needle towards achieving your goals.

These vary per individual. Some do well with 3, others 10. Test.

Once you complete these, allow yourself to relax. Consider the day a win.
2) Pursuing Curiosity

Curiosity is the spark for potential. Without curiosity, there is no possibility for a better life.

Every successful individual I have met was curious from a young age.

They mastered the art of 'figuring it out.'

This is an important skill.
3) Internal VS External

Excessive external focus is dangerous. Constantly getting upset about actions, opinions, and little things that you have no control over.

Bring your focus to the internal. Take responsibility for your thoughts, emotions, and actions.
4) Skill Acquisition

Acquiring new skills and wisdom increases your value. They give you the ability to create your own source of income.

They allow you to take on harder challenges. Living at your edge and riding the dopamine wave that small risk and momentum provide.
5) Projects

The author learns more than the student.

By building out real-world projects, you connect the dots quicker. You begin to truly understand what you have been studying — and you produce something of value.

Do not get trapped in tutorial hell. Most don't make it out.
6) High Energy

Stop giving your focus to energy-sucking vampires. This goes beyond people.

Social media accounts, nutrition, habits, activities, thoughts, etc.

Replace negative with positive.

"Energy flows where attention goes."

Focus is the vessel of your attention.
Through small investments of focus on the important things, your situation will slowly improve.

Having important things to focus on make it difficult to naturally focus on negative things.

Your worries disappear because better thoughts are occupying your mind.

Study human behavior, storytelling, marketing, big ideas, biological problems, and yourself.

Grabbing and holding attention is the skill of all skills.
Human behavior, why?

If you want to change the world, solve problems, or build any kind of money-making solutions — you will have to spark positive behavior change.

Habits, biases, psychology, etc.

Making people read, watch, or listen is different from changing behavior.
Storytelling.

Well-aligned with human behavior.

Storytelling = transformations and overcoming hardships. Humans love that shit.

They are relatable and reveal the path to overcoming your own obstacles.

How to create a life of meaning, money, and impact (as fast as humanly possible).

I present to you The Creation Hierarchy

I have burned through books and research on performance, flow, and productivity to make sense of this concept.

If you follow, test, and iterate through this process — you will gain a sense of control over the outcome of your life.
This process happens naturally for some. They are born curious. They avoid mediocrity like the plague. They do anything in their power to do what they want with their time.

This happened for me. I took the time to understand why, and now I am here to give you the roadmap.

Be careful telling people about your goals. It releases dopamine similar to achieving them. Skip the instant gratification. Go quiet and build.
This is different from talking and teaching about your interests. Positive attention can reinforce the ideas and fuel you to pursue it deeper. When it comes to momentum and building, silence.
While we're on the topic, here's the roadmap:

Interests, learning, and teaching.

Actually learning about your interests (instead of mindlessly scrolling memes and shitposts) helps you connect ideas

The more ideas you connect = pattern recognition, good dopamine and momentum

These business models work because they rely on self-education and self-competition.
