Idiot acting smart.

I explore health, authentic living, and building digital businesses.

Create a meaningful life on your own terms.

your dream: a vision

your target: a vision + a deadline

your strategy: a vision + a deadline + a plan

your system: a vision + a deadline + a plan + habits

I've watched RIngs of Power this way. I'm now working through Mobland.

My never-skip-the-gym-again hack for people who can't stop bingewatching Netflix:

- Pick a show you're only allowed to watch in the gym
- Order a car vent phone holder online and go to the gym
- Mount your phone on the treadmill vent and start your show
- Start incline walking at a heart rate of around 120

Now you're wiring something you love to something you hate.

Try it for a week. Instead of being drawn to the couch, you'll be drawn to the gym.

People when they lie awake staring at the ceiling:

"Let me grab this torch of light that's charging on my nightstand and shine it in my eyes. That'll help me sleep better!"

Hard pill I had to swallow:

I can't love all animals and eat some of them. So I stopped eating all of them.

People will pretend to forget tracking their calories to pretend to not know they're overeating.

If you're serious about losing the weight, track fucking everything.

Always.

When I go to the gym, I don't rush there.

I take my time and walk.

While walking I fill my mind with new ideas from podcast or books.

I find walking helps with idea collecting.

Scary truth:
It's all up to you.

Freeing truth:
It's all up to you.

Get busy living,
or get busy dying.

[BART @thebartbleij]

When stuck, take a walk.

When walking, get inspired.

When inspired, get started.

If you feel like quitting, quit making excuses.

[BART @thebartbleij]

If you can spend 8 hours a day sitting, and 8 hours laying down, you can spend 60 minutes walking.

[BART @thebartbleij]

Write the first word
Lift the first weight
Run the first meter
Post the first post
Say the first hello

Focus on getting started over being ready.

YouTube is a free Ph.D. if you follow the right accounts.

Become a bartender of ideas:

- Collect the liquor and ingredients (consume content to find ideas)

- Create your signature drink (remix the ideas into your own)

- Serve it up (share your ideas online)

[BART @thebartbleij]

Don't eat for 72 hours.

Give your stomach a rest.
Embrace the hunger.
Drink only water.

Do something impossible, and learn it isn't impossible at all.

[BART @thebartbleij]

"Courses are scams!"

Yes.

Some are.

Some are your winning lottery ticket to escape a mediocre life, so start buying and applying.

@Alexmathers84 You're way harder on yourself than anyone else. Just like the rest of us.
