Work, Curiosity and Life

April 7, 2024

Introduction 🌐

  • Life is not black and white for everyone.You neither have tremendous amount of money nor you are a superstar.
  • For normies like you and me we can control few of the things but we cannot control all of the things.

Priorities 📝

  • Each day, week and month your priorities are different.

  • To change them you need to convince yourself that this task is more important than your priorities.

  • But you can change your small habits:

    • Like that water bottle on your desk - make it clean and transparent. If it looks good, you'll drink from it. If it looks sad, you'll ignore it like Monday mornings.
    • Like skipping the gym? Clean your house instead. It's still exercise but with instant results. Your house looks better AND you burned calories. Win-win. No waiting for those gym gains that never come.

Note:

  • Habits should be very simple and driven by some kind of reward.
  • The moment you add little complexity your habit will just exist on paper.

Curiosity Killed the Cat 🐱

  • Curiosity is good but it's also a time killer.
  • Be selective with your curiosity:
    • You have limited daily energy
    • Spend it where you see clear returns (money/rewards)
    • If you can't see the direct benefit, the answer is NO

A Good Sleep 💤

  • Instead of banging your head against the wall, take a nap.Either something will click or you will realize that it's not worth it.
  • Do not let your EGO tell you that you are not smart enough to understand something.
