What is life too short for?



  1. Spending time in damaging relationships — whether its parents, partner or friends, put yourself first.
  2. Trying to please everyone — by doing meaningless favors, making decisions based on other’s opinion, etc.
  3. Pursuing a career that you don’t care about — to make your parents happy or to fit into society.
  4. Procrastination — waiting for the day when you will finally start crushing your goals.
  5. Avoiding pain — not taking risks, staying in your comfort zone, not working enough, etc.
  6. Unconsciously watching Tv, movies, social media — trying to escape the reality of your life.
  7. Never growing as a person, realizing your potential — just being okay with a mediocre you.
  8. You wouldn’t give away your money for free, then why do you give away your time — giving it away to people you don’t like.
  9. Working a 9–5 job that you hate but never making efforts to get out of it.
  10. Above all, not pursuing true joy and fulfillment — instead, settling for an okay life.

It is designed as a technique to help you learn pretty much learn anything - so understand concepts you don't really get, remember stuff you have already learnt, or study more efficiently. The Feynman Technique was actually a big inspiration for this blog - I try and apply this to a lot of the concepts and Mental Models that I write about. The technique can be broken down into four easy steps, but first a quick video from  Scott Young  that sums it up very simply. Learn Faster with the Feynman Technique  So now for a recap of the steps: Step 1 Write the name of the concept at the top of a blank piece of paper. Step 2 Write down an explanation of the concept on the page. Use plain English. Pretend you are teaching it to someone else (e.g a new student). This should highlight what you understand, but more importantly ...

How can you improve your life?

  The 18 unconventional ways to elevate your consciousness, expand your influence and ultimately improve your life. Have sex.  There's something unflinchingly "human” about a sexual experience. It builds something within you that connects deeply to nature. A confidence is built. From a person who went stretches- sometimes over a year- without having sex due to deeply rooted sexual anxieties (fear of climaxing too quick, that I wasn't “good enough” in bed, distaste of one-night-encounters etc) rediscovering the feeling you get in your life while being sexually active has really made a positive impact. Introduce yourself to anyone and everyone.  Human beings are social creatures by nature. With that in mind, it is imperative to make your presence known in any room you're in. Don't you hate that feeling when you're at a party or gathering, you go there with a friend and the friend doesn't introduce you to anyone? It sucks. Extreme responsibility is needed on y...
