1. 📱 The importance of curating your digital environment - Tweet from Dan Koe​

This is one of those tweets that jolts you awake.

We spend the MAJORITY of our time online.

It should be pushing us towards our goal, not distracting us from it.

​

To make this more actionable...

​I put together a step-by-step checklist you can follow to do a full digital environment overhaul:​

2. 📝 Ten-Year-Plan for a Remarkable Life - Debbie Millman on The Tim Ferriss Show​

It's funny how things work sometimes.

I was at the gym after working on the Digital Environment Design document.

I wanted to listen to a podcast, so I searched for the best Tim Ferriss Show episodes.

This one came up—with legendary designer Debbie Millman.

And wouldn't you know it, they started talking about an exercise to design the life you want.

I thought, "This pairs perfectly with the digital environment design".
​

It's called “Your Ten-Year Plan for a Remarkable Life”:

Write down what your life could be in 10 years, if you could do anything you wanted, without fear of failure.

Here are the instructions from Debbie herself:

3. 🤔 Why you should start when you're busy - YouTube Short from Alex Hormozi​

​

​

This is genius.

It's one of those things that seems obvious after you hear it, but the way Alex frames it is perfect.

WHY YOU SHOULD START WHEN YOU'RE BUSY:

Imagine you say "I can't work out because I'm busy right now".

It means you assume that in order to work out in the future, you would have to NOT be busy.

Do you really think there will come a point when you won't be busy for the rest of your life?—NO.

Do you want to work out for the rest of your life?—YES.

So you should start when you're busy because that way:

1. When you're NOT busy—you'll be fine.
2. When you inevitably get busy again—you'll also be fine.

If you wait until you're not busy to start, as soon as you get busy again you'll stop.

​

My challenge to you:
Do 1 thing this week that you keep saying you're too busy for (we all have 1)

4. 📈 The Power of Compound Interest - Idea from George Mack​

Things that compound (other than money):

1. Build new skills (skills compound much faster than money)
2. Invest in good relationships (massive impact on wellbeing)
3. Prioritize your health (diet and exercise)
4. Fix your sleep (impacts all areas of your life)

Do something every day (rather than once a week) in each of these categories and your results will explode.

5. 🗣 Pep Talk Generator - Poster from The Racoon Society​

Not sponsored. Just thought it was fun/funny.
