Episode notes

There's a whole productivity YouTube where these YouTubers do these over the top. I think of it as a sort of nerd version of David Blaine productivity endurance challenges. So why not study for 10 hours a day? These are big names on YouTube. They seem like they're really good students. There's an extremeness to it, a sort of monastic discipline to all I do is study all day. And I guess my answer to the CS student would be to turn the question back on you and say to what end?

In Cal’s new “deep life stack” the first layer toward finding more meaning is to develop discipline. Why does this come first? In this episode, Cal dives deeper into the importance of starting with discipline.
