How Rob Dyrdek (@robdyrdek) structures his life to achieve maximum human optimization:

– 30% work (7.2h)
– 30% family (7.2h)
– 30% sleep (7.2h)
– 10% health (2.4h)

Truth be told, despite my aspirations, I’m far far away from that intentional balance right now. If I were to be honest, this is how my life looks like right now:

– 11.5h work - 48%
– 7h sleep - 30%
– 5h family - 20%
– 0.5h health - 2%

I’m working too much, working out way to little. I’m barely scratching it on family time – on some days, I even transfer 1-2h out to more work time. My only saving grace is that my sleep seems on par.

That won’t do.

Time to start a new goal – maximum human optimization!

These five questions from the @dailystoic got me thinking:

• Is this in my control?
• Who do you spend time with?
• What does your ideal day look like?
• What’s the most important thing?
• Is this who I want to be?

Desk and work setup turning out well!

✅ An Ergotune Supreme mesh office chair
✅ A 27" curved monitor from Prism+
✅ A seat cushion from Aliexpress that comes with fans built in. Now considering getting a Moona as a water-cooled seat cushion instead.
✅ A motorized adjustable standing desk, from Squirrey
✅ A Keychron K7 mechanical keyboard
✅ Subscribed to Zoom and Miro
⚠️ A better microphone, speakers, table light and clip on webcam
⛔️ Decided to drop a new desktop iMac and M1 MBP from the list for now. I have everything I need. The monitor

🐦Twitter marketing

Here’s a nicer way to Twitter:

Be real.
Be open.
Be human.
Make friends.
Tweet like talking f2f.
Help someone sometimes.

It’s so face-palmingly simple. Not sure why I took that long to realise that simple truth of Twitter!

🐦Twitter marketing

Set identity-based goals instead of metric-based goals.

First start off with the identity you want to develop, “a detailed vision of who I want to be/embody”, then come up with the metrics.

Create a table (in Notion, for example) with the identities you want to develop, like “Wealthy Writer / Fit Forever / Connected Coach”. Create subsequent columns for “Traits” – to further describe the identity, and “Metrics” – to measure them by.

My identity-based goals:
• Wealthy Entrepreneur
• Bold Marketer
• Developer Craftsman
• Opportunistic Trickster

Apparently, Jeff Bezos would routinely look at his calendar for the last week, and see which blocks can he miss. Which meetings he could have skipped with minimal impact. Which activities he could have dropped to little effect. Week by week, he would remove hours that didn’t matter, and leave behind hours that did. Slowly over the months and years, that practice would optimise his time towards blocks that he shouldn’t miss. Blocks of time that move the needle. Hours that truly matter.

I want my hours to matter.

So, try removing blocks in your calendar and see if anything bad happens. Try not turning up and see what happens. Remove block by block till people start noticing.

What’s the worse that could happen?

If you can accept the consequences; if there’s no major downsides, then DO IT.

Imagine, a calendar where every hour is a 10× hour. Every second moves the needle.

Imagine what you’ll achieve after one year doing that!

Life should be fair, on a society level.
But life isn’t fair.
Fairness is not evenly executed.
Stop expecting fairness, on an individual level.
Go make life unfair using your advantages.

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.
