The 10 most powerful insights I discovered this year:
Reframe Your Day
"Instead of feeling that you lost the day after a bad morning,
Reframe each day as 4 quarters:
• morning
• midday
• afternoon
• evening
If you blow one quarter, just get back on track for the next one.
Fail small, not big."
- Gretchen Rubin

Time Billionaires
1 million seconds = 11 days
1 billion seconds = 31 years
We all admire people like Warren Buffet.
But he's 91 years old.
No matter how much money you have, you can't buy another billion seconds.
Cherish it.

Willpower is Overrated
Successful people don't have more willpower.
They build systems to make hard things easier to do.

Compounding
1% better every day for a year = 37,778% gain
1% worse every day for a year = 97% loss
Your daily actions create your future.

Find "Forces of Nature"
When you meet someone new, ask yourself:
"Is this person a force of nature?"
It is the best way to find people who will accomplish great things.

Stress and Success
Stress will always exist.
So find your own medicine:
• exercise
• meditation
• breathwork
Your ability to handle stress is what will limit your success.

My Bill Gates Theory
Building a great network is not cold-emailing Bill Gates for a 5 minute conversation.
He won't share a secret that will change your life.
Instead, learn from peers.
Learn from people a few steps ahead.

Go Add a 0
"Add another zero to whatever you define as your success metric—money, status, impact on the world."
- @sama
Think bigger.
Life is too short not to.

Comparison is the Joy Thief
“To improve, compare little things
• marketing strategies
• exercise technique
• writing tactics
To be miserable, compare big things
• career path
• marriage
• net worth
Comparison is a teacher only when applied narrowly.”
