Waiting for retirement to live your ideal life is a mistake

Memorable Quotes:

"Do more of what you love to do and less of what you don't." "You can have all the discipline you want, but what if we aligned everything we did with what we're wired to do?" "If you could, on average, have a really good day every single day of your life, how would your life be?"

Scott's Three-Step Approach:

Map your day based on your natural energy patterns and rhythms
