Episode notes
Stop Ritualizing Morning Hacks
- Morning-routine prescriptions are often performative and not universally useful.
- Ramit Sethi argues intention matters more than following esoteric tactics like yak tea or mint water.
Tiny Tactics Mask Hard Work
- Small, flashy rituals give us illusion of control and avoidance of hard choices.
- Real wins require tackling harder structural changes, not tiny decisions.
Fix Fundamentals Before Adding Tactics
- Restructure lifestyle fundamentals (sleep, work, environment) to enable your perfect morning.
- Ramit recommends changing where and when you work and sleep, not just adding tactics.
