@general_pavel Would somebody be so kind and explain to me how is the ‘poking in the China arse’ on the top of Czech Republic agenda with all other issues that we are facing right now? Well played 🤦🏻‍♂️

@Rob_Gryn Or maybe because the closing price for Bitcoin on December 31, 2021 was still $46,224.39. and you had no clue what was coming. How about that?

Visualizing Time

1. Family time is limited—cherish it.

2. Friend time is limited—prioritize real ones.

3. Partner time is significant—never settle.

4. Children time is precious—be present.

5. Coworker time is significant—find energy.

6. Alone time is highest—love yourself.

The Arena Razor

When faced with two paths, choose the path that puts you in the arena.

It's easy to throw rocks from the sidelines.

It's scary and lonely in the arena—but it's where growth happens.

Once you're in the arena, never take advice from people on the sidelines.

The Regret Minimization Framework

The goal is to minimize the number of regrets in life.

When faced with a tough decision:

• Project into the future
• Look back on the decision
• Ask "Will I regret not doing this?"
• Act accordingly.

Regret is more painful than failure.

Intellectual Sparring Partners

Most of us need fewer friends and more intellectual sparring partners.

Friends are easy to come by.

Intellectual sparring partners are harder to find.

They will call you on your BS, question your assumptions, and push you to think deeply.

Meetings and the Brain

Researchers studied the impact of meetings on our brains.

Two takeaways:

(1) Back-to-back meetings promote stress.

(2) Short breaks in between meetings resulted in performance improvements.

Always schedule short breaks in between your meetings!

The Spotlight Effect

Most people don't really care about you.

The Spotlight Effect says that we overestimate the degree to which other people are noticing our actions.

This is liberating—stop worrying about what others think, be yourself, and live according to your values.

Paths Open vs. Closed

Black Lines = Paths Closed
Green Lines = Paths Open

We spend too much time focusing on what might have been (black) and not enough time focusing on what may be (green).

Never underestimate the density of opportunity that lies ahead.

The Eisenhower Matrix

Learn the difference between important and urgent.

Place tasks on a 2x2 matrix:

• Important & Urgent
• Important & Not Urgent
• Not Important & Urgent
• Not Important & Not Urgent

Prioritize, delegate, or delete accordingly.

Q1 Relationships

Every relationship exists on a 2x2 matrix of:

(1) How healthy it is
(2) How enjoyable it is

Q1 Relationships are healthy & enjoyable.

Focus on spending more energy on your Q1 relationships—cherish them.

Scrub the Q4s from your life.

Work Like a Lion

Parkinson's Law says that work expands to fill the time available for its completion.

When you establish fixed hours to work, you'll find unproductive ways to fill it.

Work longer, get less done.

Work like a lion instead—wait, SPRINT, rest, repeat.

Move for the Brain

Researchers studied the effects of a walk on the cognitive performance of a group of children.

Reading comprehension was significantly better after exercise. Spelling and arithmetic were modestly better.

Recess is sacred—for children and adults alike!
