Day 332 - Give something people want to be true https://golifelog.com/posts/give-something-people-want-to-be-true-1638052408230

A simple content or business strategy:
Pick something people want to be true.
Show them how to make it true.

- https://twitter.com/jspector/status/1463340051362836480

You take a popular daydream, an ideal lifestyle, a good habit or a universal life aspiration. Something people desire deeply, but is painful to achieve.

And offer them a better way to make it come true.

Now go make a product for that.

Day 331 - Being average is good enough https://golifelog.com/posts/being-average-is-good-enough-1637974637504

Decent ideas + OK design + Average code =
Lifestyle businesses that let me support my family
– @dr

No need to change the world.

So often we forget that 90% of entrepreneurs are small-medium businesses making an honest, humble living, not Silicon Valley tech startups with ridiculous valuations.

Lifestyle businesses are beautiful in their own right.

that's what my biz partner and i used to call our restaurant - a lifestyle business. Didn't buy us Ferraris, but it afforded us a decent life outside of the rat race.

Day 330 - Better sleep with a temperature-controlled pillow https://golifelog.com/posts/better-sleep-with-a-temperature-controlled-pillow-1637892260262

Sleep biohack experiments to come
What got me most excited about my purchase is solving the hot sleeping issue, since that’s the reason I sleep poorly most of the time. If the Moona solves it and I sleep better, that’s already worth the $325 price tag.

The best part is experimenting with the right temperature for my profile, and adjusting the timings of the three phases to fit my current 4:30am morning alarm. If warming up the pillow helps wake me gently, that would be icing on top of the cake.

Can’t wait for it to arrive!

Finally bought the Moona, a temp regulated pillow. Better sleep = higher productivity!

Day 329 - Mental fitness > physical fitness https://golifelog.com/posts/mental-fitness-greater-physical-fitness-1637809484582

We work out our bodies, but how about our minds?

How do we get stronger mentally? More disciplined. Think clearer. Be more resilient. Get less distracted. Manage emotions better. Curb our dopamine-driven impulses.

How do we not just be mentally healthy, but mentally thrive?

I’m probably biased, but amongst the items listed, writing is likely the easiest, cheapest and gives the best ROI. Just your smartphone, laptop or an unassuming wad of paper and a pen, and you’re off to a better, stronger mind.

Writing is a workout for the mind.

Just as you lift weights to get strong, write to get mind-strong.

Day 328 - Twitter reset v3.1 https://golifelog.com/posts/twitter-reset-v31-1637721661682

I need to get even more direct.

But how do I find people in the creator + writing space?

My Twitter reset v3.1:

• Research and find accounts in my problem space – creators + writing. Who are the influencers I look up to in this space? Follow them.
• Screen through 5 such accounts with >10k followers and 5 accounts with 1-3k followers.
• Follow them, turn on notifications. Add them to a Twitter list.
• Refer to your notification feed or list feed. Reply to every tweet they tweet out.
• Here’s the most crucial step: Turning on notifications also means I can see their every reply to other accounts. Accounts which I assume are their target audience. I’ll in turn reply to every account they reply in.
• Of course, with every reply, provide value and attention-worthy content.
• That way, I expose my account to the right people who are my potential customers, by riding on the audience of these influencer accounts.
• Caveat: Avoid Money Twitter accounts - they have their own inner circles and replying there won’t give returns.

Day 327 - Sleeping in for 5am-ers https://golifelog.com/posts/sleeping-in-for-5am-ers-1637647061427

Most people sleep in on weekends to pay back the sleep debt they owe during the week. But for someone like me who wakes at 5am anyway on weekends, how do I sleep in?

By sleeping earlier.

While folks switch off their alarm clocks on weekends, I would switch it on. Not to wake up early, but to sleep early. As a reminder that I need to get in bed by 8:30pm latest.

For at least one day a week, I’ll plan to sleep early and hit my 90% score.

• Alarm clock at 7:30pm to remind me to shower and start to prep for bed
• Alarm clock at 8:00pm to remind that I should be in bed now
• Sleeping in the study to avoid getting woken up that day

So far so good. Hit 92% on Sunday night!
