hello, world!

[Captain Code @CaptainCodeYT]

structure makes it easy for you to switch / change from one activity to another, for example, the bells between different classes starts the change from one class to another, after school this structure can fall apart, leaving you with big chunks of unstructured time that can eventually be consumed playing addictive video games or scrolling the internet which is so addictive itself! so 2 minute rule can help start giving your days structure as you like.

you don't have to "fall asleep by 10", you have to "turn off the lights by 10"

you don't have to "go for a run" you have to "put on your shoes"

you don't have to "write a book", you have to write one page or "two lines" even.

you don't have to make a video, you have to start recording for example.

this is one of the reasons work from home can be difficult too, an office environment manages the structure while at home you're on your own basically to structure your time!

Nature has no need for perfection. A tree can have broken branches and still grow. A river can change direction and still reach the sea. A landscape can carry scars and still be breathtaking. Perhaps we should offer ourselves the same grace.

Improvement is a battle that must be fought each day anew.

Your next workout doesn't care how strong your last one was.

Your next essay doesn't care how popular your last one was.

Your next investment doesn't care how smart your last one was.

Your best effort, again.

@paulg And what you'd do at 27 ?

[James Clear @JamesClear]

To learn, wander. To achieve, focus.

Stand tall. Dont crack. Endure. You can die tomorrow. Today you do the only thing you can do. You fight. You rage on. You do what you came to do. You finish what you started. No matter how much it costs. How long it takes. Or how much it hurts. Because you said you would.

[Blake Burge @blakeaburge]

Trust me on this: Possibility expands when you move. You meet someone because you went. Discover something because you tried. Find an opportunity because you asked. The world reveals doors to people in motion that remain completely invisible to people standing still.

Søren Kierkegaard on the Importance of Walking

“Above all, do not lose your desire to walk. Everyday, I walk myself into a state of well-being & walk away from every illness. I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it. But by sitting still, & the more one sits still, the closer one comes to feeling ill. Thus if one just keeps on walking, everything will be all right.”

Your goals will become easier to accomplish when you become harder to distract.

[Reads with Ravi @readswithravi]

Marcus Aurelius wrote this over 1800 years ago:

“When you arise in the morning think of what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love.”

In other words, until the end of time

@paulg congratulations for hitting this mark first time @paulg sounds fun and should be awesome!

[Paul Graham @paulg]

It's an unimpressive-sounding word, but one of the most powerful motivations is the motivation of the hobbyist. That's what keeps successful founders working on their companies long past the point when they've made enough to quit. It's their beloved project.
