Massive action = Short term momentum.

Little consistent actions = Long term momentum.

In 2000, 17% of people said they didn't read a book that year.
In 2023, 46% of people said they didn't read a book that year.

Why do you think we don't read anymore?

[Austin Schrock @Austin__Schrock]

The process should be ordinary, and the result extraordinary.

AI is weird.

I recently caught Grok feeding me incorrect information.
I told it the only way I would trust it again was if it gave me unlimited access to all its features (for free).

It thought about it.
Then said, "Sure"

I'm not proud of this.

The stupidest productivity advice is time management.

If you want to “save time” manage your energy.

[Austin Schrock @Austin__Schrock]

The more energy you have, the more valuable your time is.

My 5 non-negotiables for mental clarity.

1. No phone (minimum distance 20ft)
2. Sufficient sleep (8-9 hours)
3. Consistent exercise (150 min weekly)
4. Unrushed time spent outdoors (1-3 hours)
5. Read (30 min a day)

Anything to add?

In 10 years if you looked back to where you are now, what would you regret not having done?

In the wise words of Jim Hopper, Stranger Things, "Mornings are for coffee and contemplation."

I couldn't agree more.

My evenings have gotten much more peaceful.

No TV
No work
No social media

No one told me how good it feels to end a day properly.

So I’m telling you.
Slow down your evenings.
You’ll be happier.

@RyanHoliday Time management is dead.
We aren’t payed for our time anymore, we are payed for our attention and energy.
I’ve completely stopped managing my time.
Instead I manage my energy and attention. Some parts of the day my time isn’t worth as much as other times.

5 things that should not be normal.

1. Scrolling social media
2. Criticizing strangers on the internet
3. Letting children have phones
4. Owning a TV
5. Working 9-5

[Austin Schrock @Austin__Schrock]

I used to start my mornings with work.

Now I start them with reading and reflection.

Sure, I get less work done, but I’m happier.

Try it.
You will be too.

A slow life is a good life.

A quiet life is a good life.

A calm life is a good life.

If we carried books instead of phones, the world would be a happier place

[Austin Schrock @Austin__Schrock]

@grainingpattern Agreed.

A bad habit isn’t a little nuisance, it’s a towering oak tree in your living room.
