The genuinely happy people? They’re doing less, earning more, living better. They killed their to-do list and kept what matters. You’re still confusing a full schedule with a full life.

I write a weekly newsletter where I unpack these ideas.

This is why I homeschool. I.choose the people my son can be around, I choose what he hears, sees and exprience.

I tell him all the time, you should be okay being by yourself, than be with people who are not going to be good to you and for you.

Stop trying to be disciplined. Start making bad choices harder to make.

You don't resist junk food—you don't buy it. You don't fight distractions—you delete the app. You don't battle temptation—you never put yourself in the room with it.

Willpower is a finite resource. Environment is a system.

One depletes. One compounds.

Design your surroundings for the person you're trying to become. Then you don't have to fight yourself every day.

The people with the best self-control? They rarely use it. They just set up their life so they don't have to.
