Personal Development

don't do the deferred life plan

Commitments become easier when you realize that, after enough wandering, the grass is unlikely to be greener, pursuing novelty has diminishing returns, and continuous optimizing comes at the cost of compounding—and nearly everything great compounds

Spend less time focusing on "discipline," and more time in things that genuinely pull you forward... The person who requires internal force, will always get lapped by someone with genuine drive toward that thing. Obsession beats discipline all day long.

I meet a lot of people searching for something (career, relationship, etc). And yet, when it’s put in front of them, they won’t pursue it because they fear pain (getting hurt, failure, etc.). So they unconsciously (and expensively) trade self protection for misery.
