becoming a mental athlete: a new perspective on “productivity”
there is a massive misconception that, to be “successful,” you need to wake up at 5am, work 80 hours a week and postpone everything you love for the weekend. it is pure propaganda, and may be the single biggest threat to human happiness. today we hope to share some science that shows why taking naps, watching Netflix and hanging with the homies are the tops things you can do to accelerate your career. let’s get it

A Loophole in the 10,000 Hour Rule
I mix a hidden message in Greenlights with the 10,000 hour rule to suggest a possible route to a fulfilling life.
The 10,000 Hour Rule
In his book the Outliers, Malcom Gladwell observes that musicians do ~10,000 hours of practise before getting famous, and Bill Gates did ~10,000 of programming before he created Microsoft. He uses this pattern to suggest that 10,000 hours of practise will make you an expert in anything; the 10,000 hour rule.

Breakthrough Mindset: Care Less
with social media making our lives so visible, it’s hard not to care what other people are thinking about us. however, thinking too much can be draining at best; anxiety inducing at worst.
