Episode notes
Freedom Requires Self-Control
- Modern abundance increases the obligation for self-discipline because unlimited options create distractions.
- The most powerful person is the one under their own power, meaning control of attention and choices leads to freedom.
Start Phone-Free And Do Hard Work First
- Do not touch your phone for the first 30–60 minutes after waking and keep it out of the bedroom.
- Do the hardest task first to secure focus and momentum for the day.
Design Systems That Make Discipline Easy
- Set up life systems so discipline isn't white-knuckled, for example waking early to work before family duties.
- Protect creative headspace by doing priority work before reactive demands arrive.
