Tweaking.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

A busy life is not a symbol of status. It's a symptom of trying to do too much for too many people.

A full calendar brings a surplus of stress and a shortage of energy. Reflecting and relaxing should be top priorities.

Unscheduled time isn't wasted. It's invested in well-being.

Today is World Health Day. Not that we need a day to remind us, but no amount of money can buy good health. Being healthy needn't be complicated; small lifestyle changes can make a huge difference.

I'm highlighting some people who've transformed with such changes in my life 1/8

I am a firm believer that most people can achieve an order of magnitude more than they believe. Over the last 15 years, I have seen so many *normal* people achieve incredible outcomes.

There was a consistent theme that permeated across all of these outcomes: non-linearity

In the seventh essay of my new series The Compass (with my friends at @Compound), I shared a framework on why non-linearity is the key to 10x your career:

We shouldn't listen to people because we agree with what they think. We should listen when we're impressed by how they think.

Intellectual loyalty is defending strong convictions. Intellectual integrity is being convinced by strong arguments.

A key to growth is being willing to change our minds. @waitbutwhy https://t.co/nSGKHuX0oN

Just as Instagram makes people look better than they are, Twitter makes them seem smarter than they are.

Reviewing some old notes to myself and found this one:

You just need to have the courage to eliminate everything that doesn't directly feed what you really want.

Remove the branches of a thorn bush today and you'll avoid a scrape this year. But next year, you'll face the same problem again.

Remove the root of the bush today, and the entire plant will die.

Are you solving problems at the branch level or the root level?

Vanity wala tweet. Went from a single member managing gazillion things to heading a team of 8 people at a scaling startup in just 2 months. This year is insane! 🚀

Adapting to chaos will teach you more than comfort.

You can’t be something if you aren’t willing to be nothing.

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

If there’s one key to happiness, it’s this:

When you encounter a moment of pure bliss, pause and embrace every aspect of it.

The smells, the sounds, the feelings, the sensations. Everything.

Hold on to it for a bit longer than you normally would. Savor the sweetness.

To live an extraordinary life, be willing to sacrifice everything ordinary.
