Show notes

Uncover the real sources behind six habits secretly causing misery and learn simple ways to break them for a happier life.

You wake up in the morning irritable and groggy but determined to be productive. Yesterday didn’t go well.

It always seems as if there are not enough hours in the day. You didn’t complete even the one big priority project that would have taken just a couple of hours if you’d focused. Still, you spent all day on the computer, even leaving your partner to handle dinnertime alone and canceling pickleball with friends.

One Question to Ask Yourself to Know Your Future - Nir And Far Apr 10, 2023

Show notes

The German writer and philosopher Goethe believed he could predict someone’s future based on one simple fact. “If I know how you spend your time,” he wrote, “then I know what might become of you.”

Seeing how you spend your time reveals your values and, thus, shows where your investment of time, attention, and effort will lead you. The trouble is that too many of us spend too much time distracted rather than focused on the things that matter. Wasting time on distractions, which we’ll later regret, leads to a life filled with missed opportunities.
