Wake upthe time I get out of bed
Bed timethe time I am on the bed for sleep
I first write down my wakeup time and bedtime with pen and paper (or commit them to memory), then once it’s phone time, I use this shortcut to log them to a JSON file.
Unplug phonewhen I first pick up my phone
Plug in phonewhen I last put it down
I charge my phone overnight, plugging it in for the evening once I’m done with it — so the interval between the first unplug and the last plug is my phone use for the day.
Start the daywhen I run the Start the Day Right shortcut
End the daywhen I run the End the Day Right shortcut
I basically only use my phone twice a day — after lunch and dinner — to run these two shortcuts. They bundle the things I’d otherwise do one by one — calendar, to-dos, weather, etc. — so I get it all done in batch without much screen time.
Book I’m rereading
…s is really all you need to know. If you want to be rich, simply spend your life buying assets. If you want to be poor or middle class, spend your life buying liabilities. Illiteracy, both in words and numbers, is the foundation of financial struggle. If people are having difficulties financially, there is something that they don’t understand, either in words or numbers. The rich are rich because they are more literate in different areas than people who struggle financially. So…
emotion regulation starts with giving ourselves and others the permission to own our feelings—all of them.
Permission to Feel
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We were all meant to shine as children do. It’s not just in some of us, it’s in everyone. And, as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
Coach Carter (2005 film)
Stay focused. No distractions. Ignore the noise. Focus is the art of knowing what to ignore. Say NO to everything else that arises at all costs. Learn to embrace the power of NO.
