The Tim Ferriss Show
EDC, Everyday Carry
The author is planning to go off the grid for an entire month without using any social media or electronics. Developing a higher sensitivity and ability to perceive can be helpful whether you are doing some explicit type of work, such as Cal Newport's deep work. "I'm paying a lot of attention to right now, especially given the number of crises that have hit in the last week"
In this episode, I answer the most up-voted questions from subscribers to 5-Bullet Friday, the free newsletter I send out every week.
In this Q&A, I reveal:
- The top five health markers I check and watch regularly.
- Strategies to prevent or minimize binge eating during times of stress.
- The most valuable skills for securing financial freedom.
- My philospophy on having children.
- Productivity advice
- And much, much more.
Want to ask me your own questions? Just subscribe to 5-Bullet Friday, which — every Friday — sends five bullet points of cool things I’ve found that week, including apps, books, gadgets, albums, articles, new hacks or tricks, and — of course — all sorts of weird stuff I dig up around the world. It’s free, it’s always going to be free, and you can check it out here: tim.blog/friday.
Enjoy!
