Finish the process:

• Clean the dishes right after eating.
• Throw dirty cloths in the bin, not on chair.
• Turn off phone after brushing teeth.

Pairing things you'll do anyways with things you'd like to do but don't find time for.

• Pair eating + coding/reading.
• Pair falling asleep + mediating.
• Driving + listening to audiobooks.
• Swimming + reflecting/planning.
• Waking up + listening to podcasts.
• Watching videos + stretching.

Say no upfront is better than being flaky and saying maybe.

• Don't waste your time on things that are low value, on being the "trash-bin" for other's complaints, on being forced to participate in meaningless tradition; if your friendship requires these, then these are not your true friends
  • At the same time, don't do these to your friends
  • Only exchange on high-value activities
• Living high-quality life isn't about doing many things, but not doing certain things, and instead, do the few high-value things (proactivity: what are the 3 most important things you can do today?)
• Play the long game: make long-term friends, establish long-term partnerships
  • Delaying gratification means the satisfaction you'll gain from doing the harder things will almost always be the best - the great book you've finished, the great work you've done - these will become the highlights of your life in forever
• Time cost and opportunity costs

Depending on how you naturally work:

• Utilizing fragmented time is important: listening that audiobook, the podcast, read through a few pages, watch videos, play games
• But so is diminishing the time fragmentation: sort out a concentrated time for emails, messages, social media, YouTube, meetings
