Episode notes
Professor's Advice
- Sahil Lavingia's professor advised him to prioritize two of the four areas of life (work, family, friends, health) for modest success.
- Focusing on just one area could lead to wild success, but Sahil was warned.
On-Off Mentality's Peril
- The traditional "on-off" mentality suggests focusing on a few key areas while neglecting others.

- Ignored areas of life experience negative compounding, like relationships and health.
- "Later" is dangerous; prioritize important things now or face regret.
