Save your mental energy for the decisions that matter. — I’m in a store, trying to pick a gift for my friend’s birthday. This should’ve been a quick errand, yet I’ve been walking through the aisles for the past 45 minutes, growing increasingly frustrated with myself. Just. pick. something!

Four refreshing ideas from ‘How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big’ — Goals are for losers, and passion is bullshit. Scott Adams, creator of the popular cartoon Dilbert, says it like it is in his book How To Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big.

Daily Walks: Not Boring. Not a Waste of Time.

In fact, it’s the best thing you can do for your sleep, creativity & stress levels. — The science is clear: A simple, brisk walk is the most underrated, corrective, mind-body, fat-burning exercise available to humans.

“No-Go Moments”: An Impulse Control Technique by Andrew Huberman

Strengthen the neural circuit in your brain involved in suppressing action. — How much genius are we losing to the compulsive need to scroll just a little bit more? The other day I realized something. Heads up, it's pretty depressing. Say we spend 2 hours of "wasted time" per day on our phones (and that's probably being kind). 2 hours x 365…

The science behind working in 90-minute sprints. — Our bodies send us clear signals when we need a break. Fidgetiness, hunger, drowsiness, loss of focus. Mostly, we override them. We find artificial ways to pump up our energy: caffeine, sugary foods, and our body’s own stress hormones — adrenalin, norepinephrine, and cortisol. A much smarter way would be…

I’ll come across an interesting book, get excited, download it to my Kindle and start reading. Forget about the 2 other books I was so enthusiastic about last week.
