The best relationship advice I've ever encountered:

1. Geeking out on hobbies is wildly attractive to the right person. Intellectual curiosity is your best asset (don’t hide it).
2. Nobody is coming to save you. To attract someone extraordinary, you must first become extraordinary. Build positive daily habits and rock-solid character.

3. Loneliness is the silent pandemic of our time. Making new adult friends is hard (for everyone).

When in doubt, assume people want to meet you.
4. Invest in your friendships as much as you invest in your intimate relationship.

Generally, women are better than men at maintaining friendships. We guys can take note.

5. The #1 rule of conflict management is to avoid people who constantly start conflicts (Credit: Naval Ravikant).

20 behaviors that make people respect you more:
1. Normalize “I don’t know anything about that yet” as a successful answer.

2. Say less, listen more—be more interested than interesting.
3. A person’s favorite sound is their name, so remember it (h/t Dale Carnegie).

4. “Praise publicly. Criticize privately.” —Warren Buffett

7 rules for saving money

(that one day might save you): Image
1. 50/30/20 Budget Rule

Allocate your income to 50% needs, 30% wants, 20% savings.
2. 1% Rule to Curb Impulse Buys

If the item is over 1% of your annual gross income, wait 3 days.

If you still want the item after 3 days, get it.

You’ll often realize you don’t actually want/need that thing.

How to fall asleep quickly.

The 4-7-8 Method (backed by science):
In 60 seconds, you'll have the life hack to falling asleep fast.

The breathing technique was popularized by Dr. Andrew Weil

(based on the ancient yoga practice of pranayama).

Here we go, the 4-7-8 Method:
First, why it works:

"It works by activating the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for our rest and digest mode,

while switching off the sympathetic nervous system, which triggers our stress response (or fight or flight mode)." —Hannah Coates, Vogue

"Not taking things personally is a superpower." —James Clear

5 mental models to develop thick skin: Image
1. Spotlight Effect (Cognitive Bias)

We think people are paying far more attention to us than they are.

Harsh truth:

Your freedom begins the day you realize nobody is thinking about you.
2. The 'Procedure or Perception' Razor

When you receive negative feedback, ask yourself:

- Should I change my procedure (actions I take)?
- Or should I change my perception (how I interpret the advice)?

Avoid constructive feedback from people who've never constructed anything.
