Do what you're good at, or...get really good at what you do.
Shallow Work < Deep Work
There's no shortage of tips about what brings happiness, but what gives your life meaning?
The Rules
• Only use what you like
• If it takes too long for you to learn, then screw it.
Paradox of Buridan’s Ass
“If you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room. ” — Kare Anderson
The System
To avoid problems like this!
Mornings are the most powerful productivity tool.
It is okay to be bored
Avoid To Do List, create a schedule
If you can’t fit it in within 30 days, it is not important
Most suffering comes from focusing on me, the self
If you having trouble making yourself happy, then make someone else happy. So cliche yet pragmatic.
Go first
Be the first to smile, to say hello, to open the door, etc.
Choose only 1 location (app,notebook, spot on wall, sticky note, etc.) to serve as your project home and collect the items there. No more than 3 at a time!
Do Not
• Multitask
• Make important decisions when fatigued or in a bad mood
• Try to do meaningful work in chunks of time under 30 minutes
• Lose sight of what is most important in life
• Spend all your time working
• Eat garbage food
• Create To Do Lists
Answer these questions
1. What are YOUR priorities?2. What are two most important things you want to
get done tomorrow?3. What provides value in your life?4. Where should you invest your energy?
Shhh!
Phone
I’m sorry I didn’t answer my phone when you called me.
I don’t use it for that.

prioritize your day by syncing your to-do list with how much free time you actually
have
Internet
• Try to only have one browser tab open(my biggest struggle)
• Try not to check email 20 times an hour. Close it out and do work.
• Ditto for phone alerts• Are you distracted
now?
Do you have app notifications turn on?
Does it also vibrate?
Consider turning them off.

Life Tips
Tips● Use different colors for
things to help stay organized
● Pick a routine for work time. For me I use weekend mornings when I know kids will sleep in.
● Enter what is needed to be reminded, but not worthy of using brain space
● Remove all things on you don’t want to do.
