If you understood that you become what you read, watch, listen to, or the people you surround yourself with, you wouldn't be doing 90% of what you do. - Dan Koe

The best thing you can do in today's world is practice thinking. Very few people, especially smart people, do this. Snap yourself out of your automatic patterns and stretch your mind for once. This will only become more important as AI and social media distort reality.

How to know if you need to make a big change:

You stay up late, every night, because you feel like you haven't gotten enough out of the day.

Front-load your decision-making.

Write, build, lift, read, or do whatever your lever-moving tasks are first thing in the morning.

Because I can almost guarantee you won't have the energy, clarity, or discipline to do them (well) at night.
