Taking Everyone's Advice You're going to get a lot of advice from a lot of people. Most of it is well-intentioned...and also utter crap. It's dangerous to use someone else's map to navigate your world. Learn to filter and selectively implement—take the signal, skip the noise.

Inaction Overthinking and paralysis is often just a result of inaction. The first movement is always the hardest—so just start moving. A body in motion tends to stay in motion. Maintaining a bias for action allows you to capitalize on opportunities that compound effectively.

Complaining Incessantly Complaining never got anyone anywhere worth going. The world is split between complainers and doers—the former talk while the latter act. Complainers are on the sidelines. Doers are in the arena. Doers fight—their bias for action creates results.

Saying Yes to Everything I've always had a tough time saying no. I'd take on too much and then grind my way through (or under-deliver). The ability to say no is a superpower of successful people. Be deliberate about what you spend your time on—and who you spend it with.

Beating Around the Bush Hard conversations are...hard. Being direct is the way. A mentor gave me some great advice: The other person should know what you're there to talk about within 30 seconds. Beating around the bush doesn't soften the blow, it just makes it more shocking.

Inactivity Your body was made to move. Consistent daily activity is essential to your health, brain function, and happiness. You don't need to have an complex regimen. Each day minimum:• Walk for 30 min• Raise your HR for 30 min• Mobility work for 5 min Keep it simple.

Falling Into Productivity Traps Hustle culture lied to you. Obsessively optimizing your time with new "productive" activities is actually counter-productive. Free time is a call option on future interesting opportunities. It provides the headspace to pursue high upside ideas.

Glorifying the Wrong Things What I used to glorify:• No sleep• 100-hour workweeks• Busy schedules What I now glorify:• Sleeping 8 hours• Regular physical activity• Unstructured schedules• Working in short sprints Control of your time is the true status symbol.

Defaulting to a Jog There are four speeds in life:• Rest• Walk• Jog• Sprint Most people default to a jog—a staple of 9-5 work culture. But you'll go much faster and further by defaulting to either rest/walk or sprint. Rest, walk, sprint, repeat. There is no jog.

Multitasking Multitasking is fake productivity. You think you're crushing it but you're just running around churning out a bunch of C+ work. Instead, build your day around focused sprints. 60 minutes works well. Compartmentalize and focus on the one key task at hand.

Our productivity and comfort zones and hard work lies under our own hands don't be someone who regret of theses mistakes after her/his old age life.
