Day 285 - Discard one thing every day https://golifelog.com/posts/discard-one-thing-every-day-1634006950866

The rule is simple:

Find one thing you own that you no longer need, and throw it away.
Just one, not more, not less.
Any size will do.

Day 281 - Using crisis as opportunity https://golifelog.com/posts/using-crisis-as-opportunity-1633659311056

The massive outage that Facebook, Whatsapp and Instagram suffered recently got me thinking about how I can leverage events like that for marketing.

It’s kind of like making memes of popular movies, but for real life events. Part gloating, part satirical, part social commentary.

What I can do for marketing content at the intersection of Facebook outage, writing/creating and SaaS founders:

• Tweet a funny meme - lowest barrier to entry
• Write a single tweet about how outages or negative events can be good for PR
• Tweet a case study thread about Facebook outage and how it benefited other platforms like Twitter and Telegram
• Meta: Tweet a short thread about this post

How else would you leverage opportunity in a crisis?

Day 280 - Rich is a mindset https://golifelog.com/posts/rich-is-a-mindset-1633571552424

What’s a rich mindset?

Here’s my best formulation of it so far:

• Ethical wealth creation is possible. Money is not dirty, don’t despise the rich
• There’s always enough money to go around - it’s not a zero sum game. You are allowed to get rich. It doesn’t have to be at the expense of others.
• Money is a tool, an enabling resource. It’s a means to an end, not an end in itself.
• Make money work for you, not work for money. Sell value, not time.
• Create and own assets that appreciate, e.g business, stocks, real estate
• Growth mindset - always be learning. A static mind means wealth stagnation.
• Be rich and anonymous, not rich and famous. Limited upside, infinite downsides when you famously rich.
• Spend on quality, not spendthrift. Consume with purpose, instead of being a prisoner to consumption.
• True wealth is freedom. A blank calendar is a better indicator of your wealth than the number in your bank account.
• Rich is more a mindset, less about how much wealth you hold at the moment. Mindset is a more accurate indicator of your long term wealth and success, and your probability of trending up or down.

Day 279 - Hormesis, the law of life you never heard of https://golifelog.com/posts/hormesis-the-law-of-life-you-never-heard-of-1633486095188

One of those interesting laws of the universe and life that you never heard of – hormesis.

Basically, hormesis is what we mean when we say “The dose makes the poison.” What’s beneficial and favourable at a low dose becomes toxic at a high enough dose.

When you see this law, suddenly important in life everything seems to follow it.

– Food and water: Eating and drinking to the level you need is healthy, but over-eat/drink becomes bad for health.

– Workouts: Lifting weights, doing HIIT, running a few times a week are healthy stressors on the body. Workouts creates microtears in your muscle, which leads to hypertrophy – muscle/strength growth. But do HIIT everyday, and it might be too much stress for the body to recover from.

– Money: Nothing is more annoying than an unhappy billionaire. After survival and basic comfort needs are fulfilled, any more money brings with it more problems. If you’re a billionaire, you’ve likely over-reached.

– Social media consumption: It’s great to stay in touch with old friends once in a while, see what they’re up to, celebrate their life milestones. But hang around all day every day on Instagram and Facebook, celebration turns to envy, envy to jealousy, jealousy to anxiety.

– Entrepreneurship: Hustling is great, but too much and you burnout. Hustling needs to be paired with intentional rest to allow you to stay within the hormetic zone. Works much like workouts and muscle hypertrophy.
