Episode 2 Quotable moments:

14:40 “What is your approach to getting things done? And I didn't really have a clear answer. I think it kind of goes back to that identity list of you have these ideas in your head of what you are or how you do things, but until you put them down on paper, you've never clarified it.”

15:33 “My approach [is] abandoning every complex app and to-do software and things like that that I used to spend hours trying to perfect. And really just coming back to like a pen-and-paper list where I keep track of different areas, my projects, tasks, and open loops.

20:52 “I think you can only be progressing in three things at any given time. And I've realized that the amount of effort that it takes to grow something is usually far more than people think, and the amount of effort that it takes to maintain is usually far less.”

23:46 “That delayed residual I've applied to health, business, relationship, hobbies, all of that. And it all comes back to if I know that I'm gonna be playing this game for a long time, this game of life, I know I'm going to have plenty of time to apply that uni-directional training on a bunch of different areas.”
