Counterintuitive but true. Agreeableness is overrated.

Since young we’re always schooled to be nice, polite and agreeable. Be convenient children. Likewise as adults, as co-workers, as subordinates.

But the problem with that is it builds up resentment. Is that the kind of life I want? To be a resentful person?

Agreeableness is overrated. Be disagreeable.

New things I learned about sleep biohacking from the Rise Sleep app:

• Sleep debt is a better indicator of how you’ll feel and perform on any given day, rather than REM sleep, deep sleep or amount of sleep. I’m at 7.4h sleep debt.
• Grogginess and morning peaks - it takes 90min to clear out the sleep hormones in the morning, and for your alertness to peak.
• Energy dips through the day - mid-day (12noon-1pm) dips are inevitable. Plan your schedule around them rather than fight it. The app even adds slots into your calendar to show that!
• Evening peaks - I never knew this but there’s typically an evening peak around 5-6pm.
• Melatonin windows - the app estimates your melatonin window, an ideal period of time to hit the sack - you fall asleep faster and have less restless sleep.

When people talk about traveling to the past, they worry about radically changing the present by doing something small, but barely anyone in the present really thinks that they can radically change the future by doing something small." ~ just-shower-thoughts

Question for reflection:
What would your future self thank your present self for doing, or not doing?

“Most goals are borrowed.

Borrowed from friends and family.
Borrowed from coworkers and peers.
Borrowed from society.

May your goals be your own.
If nothing else, may you think for yourself.”

"Me: I’m about to break.

God: Why do you think that is?

Me: Because life just keeps getting harder.

God: Then you need to become softer."

for line breaks and other html for text formatting

You can be healthy but not fit. Likewise for your mental state.

I’d always thought mental health was important, and if I have it, I’m good and can cruise along. But hearing this distinction from @ShannVP on his My First Million podcast, I knew I had to shoot higher. It expanded my perspective on what was possible, what was desirable and aspirational.

I didn’t want to be just mentally healthy. I didn’t want to be just contented, satisfied, grateful. I didn’t want just less worries, more joy.

I want to be mentally fit.
