I try to optimize for two things: Waking up energized and going to bed exhausted. The former means I’m doing things I enjoy with people I love. The latter means I did those things to the fullest extent of my ability. I don't overthink it. A good life is... just a lot of good days.show more

A big reason I love Sahil & his message is it's so practical! Love this!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

thanks man, I think simplifying things down to the basics is really important

Absolutely & you're the goat of it!! 🙏❤️

going to bed exhausted i have down. the waking up energized part is still in beta lol

100%, Sahil! The daily simple stuff: 1. Try to improve yourself, your circumstances, and the circumstances of the people you care about, 2. Cultivate positive relationships, 3. Produce creative works, and 4. Seek out and participate in fun activities Even tiny daily actions towards those 4 things will make you Fulfilled - even if you died today.

That opening line slaps. That's the goal.

It just simplifies things a lot I find

You kids these days. I’ve been exhausted since 1998. Continuously.

A good day spends you on purpose instead of letting the day drain you by accident.

Toddlers figured this out years ago. Up at 6 ready to sprint, out cold by 8.

Great perspective. Question. Has more money influenced this mantra of yours compared to when you had much less?

retail car sales nails the exhausted half. the energized half depends on who's on the desk.

Going to bed with nothing left because the day got your full effort is a good measure. A good life really is built one honest day at a time.

bed exhausted is the only metric that matters

A lot of good days is a plan I can actually follow.

My only problem is that I’m usually so excited about tomorrow that I don’t want to go to bed. Thankfully I’m also so exhausted by the end of the day that I don’t have much of a choice.

The exhausted part is underrated. Most people optimize for comfortable, not spent, and then wonder why the days blur together.

waking up energized sounds nice but most of my best days building started tired and annoyed for some reason.

i've got the going to bed exhausted part down, still working on the waking up energized half

Waking up excited and falling asleep happily tired is my favorite kind of day ✨

I've heard this one back in the day and I love it: "Try to concentrate on what happens between the times your head touches the pillow"

"A good life is just a lot of good days." A simple way to check it: each night write one line on what you did fully today and one thing you only half did. After a few weeks, the pattern shows where your days are actually going.

Love that. Reminds me that I need to optimise my sleep schedule. The one thing I'm struggling with.
