@momentumdash regarding todo app integration - any plans to integrate ticktick?

[James Clear @JamesClear]

Daily use items that are worth spending more on than the average person:

-shower head
-garbage can
-bath towels
-office chair

We rarely view basic items as investments, but the things we use everyday can provide a little joy with every use if they are well made.

What else?

[James Clear @JamesClear]

Habits that have a high rate of return in life:

- sleep 8+ hours each day
- lift weights 3x week
- go for a walk each day
- save at least 10 percent of your income
- read every day
- drink more water and less of everything else
- leave your phone in another room while you work

@aussiegoldy @johncutlefish are there specific words most systems are looking for?

Every creative project starts as an imitation. You begin by mapping what you already know or have previously seen onto the situation.

But if you iterate and recombine enough, it becomes an original.

At the end of the day, the value isn't in the 'roadmap' itself. It's in the process of roadmapping, which is inherently a discovery process.

(Just as the value of a prototype isn't the prototype, but in the prototyping and all of the learning that comes from it).

[JD @JD_Dillon]

Stop trying to make people learn.
Start focusing on helping them do their best work - whatever it takes.

@fitbit @FitbitSupport I always show my DRs my #sleep report and ask for advice for my low deep sleep %. The only response they give me is they don't trust #fitbit data, partly because the algorithms are secret. How do I respond to them?

Your identity can hold you back:

-I'm terrible with directions.
-I have a sweet tooth.
-I'm bad at math.

...or build you up:

-I'm the type of person who doesn't miss workouts.
-I finish what I start.
-I read every day.

Build habits that reinforce your desired identity.

I tell my kids that the next 25-30 years will be VASTLY different than the previous 25-30. When I see videos like this, it just reinforces that I've underestimated how different by orders of magnitude. 25 years from now, what will our societies look like?
