bbb: on winning, what you deserve, and a lifeOS

edition 003 of boring. brutal. better. four uninterrupted hours beats eight distracted ones, you don't deserve to be sick so do something about it, and a lifeOS.

welcome to edition 003 of the bbb newsletter.

boring.

on winning:

daily: 4 uninterrupted hours on one thing. not 8 distracted hours on 17 things.

big goals take time. focus on one goal for four hours each day and failure is tough to find.

brutal.

on what you deserve:

do you deserve to be sick? no? then work out. do you deserve to be anxious? no? then breathe.

most of us don’t deserve much. so stop thinking that way. just do the thing.

better.

implement the boring. face the brutal. get better.

keep getting better with my content from the past 7 days:

podcast: the illusion of over-optimization article: daily over decades: your life operating system app (yeah, I created an app this week): daily over decades web app

p.s. no human mind was harmed in the process of writing this newsletter (ai didn’t create this). just one man, two simple ideas, and way too much time refining.
