It generally feels better to run toward something than to run away from something. Focus on what is pulling you in, not what you're trying to avoid. - James Clear

It's easy to assume that getting rich in money will also mean you are rich in time, but it is often the case that when you earn more money, you end up with less time and more responsibilities.

Being rich is nice, but what you really want to optimize for is
(1) an income that exceeds your spending by a healthy margin and
(2) a lifestyle that is free from rushing.

When preparation becomes a form of procrastination, you need to change something. You don’t want to merely be planning. You want to be practicing.

Optimize for tomorrow—as in, literally, one day from now.

Save to be a little richer tomorrow. Exercise to be a little fitter tomorrow. Read to be a little smarter tomorrow.

1% better every day.
