Episode notes

Building the first three layers of the deep life stack may take six months to a year
The plan layer involves dividing life into major areas, making changes, and overhauling aspects of life
Discipline, values, and calm are foundational and necessary for a strong plan layer
Decisions throughout the stack should go back to the central repository established during the discipline level
Commitments to disciplines increase as one moves up the stack
