The superheroes you have in your mind are nearly all walking flaws who’ve maximized 1 or 2 strengths. Humans are imperfect creatures. You don’t “succeed” because you have no weaknesses; you succeed because you find your unique strengths and focus on developing habits around them.

"Highly focused people do not leave their options open. They select their priorities and are comfortable ignoring the rest. If you commit to nothing, you’ll be distracted by everything."

To learn from the best, you don’t need to meet them, you just need to absorb them. This can be through books, audio, or a single powerful quote.
Feeding your mind is how you become your own best coach.
To paraphrase Jim Loehr: The power broker in your life is the voice that no one ever hears. How well you revisit the tone and content of your private voice is what determines the quality of your life. It is the master storyteller, and the stories we tell ourselves are our reality.
For instance, how do you speak to yourself when you make a mistake that upsets you? Would you speak that way to a dear friend when they’ve made a mistake? If not, you have work to do. Trust me, we all have work to do.

1. If you had a heart attack and had to work two hours per day, what would you do?
Not five hours, not four hours, not three—two hours. It’s not where I want you to ultimately be, but it’s a start. Besides, I can hear your brain bubbling already: That’s ridiculous. Impossible! I know, I know. If I told you that you could survive for months, functioning quite well, on four hours of sleep per night, would you believe me? Probably not. Notwithstanding, millions of new mothers do it all the time. This exercise is not optional. The doctor has warned you, after triple-bypass surgery, that if you don’t cut down your work to two hours per day for the first three months post-op, you will die. How would you do it?
2. If you had a second heart attack and had to work two hours per week, what would you do?
3. If you had a gun to your head and had to stop doing ⅘ of different time-consuming activities, what would you remove?
Simplicity requires ruthlessness. If you had to stop ⅘ of time-consuming activities—e-mail, phone calls, conversations, paperwork, meetings, advertising, customers, suppliers, products, services, etc.—what would you eliminate to keep the negative effect on income to a minimum? Used even once per month, this question alone can keep you sane and on track.

Being a loser has nothing to do with money or status or power or success (you can have all those things and still be a massive loser) but rather a certain joyless and narcissistic orientation toward the world, those in it, and yourself, and you can unloser yourself at any time

When you make a mistake…
A bad partner will tell you what they told you a while ago to remind you how right they were.
A good partner will tell you what you said a while ago to remind you how right you were.
We need to be reminded more than we need to be taught.

Tim Ferriss × Chris
What matters more than the how
Material matters more than the method
Effectiveness over efficiency
2-3 hours of uninterrupted time where you can focus on your high leverage tasks.
Single tasking for 2-3 hours a day. You are gonna be ahead of 90% of the population.
Weekly Routine over daily routine
Identify diversification
Multiple tracks running at the same time - hedging against the indentity
State - story - strategy
