Reasoning can take us to almost any conclusion we want to reach, because we ask “Can I believe it?” when we want to believe something, but “Must I believe it?” when we don’t want to believe. The answer is almost always yes to the first question and no to the second. Jonathan Haidt, The Righteous Mind, p. 107

Really anything in business can be expressed as there are desires that are blocked by problems/obstacles that need solutions and those solutions communicated in a way that in fact ultimately solve that problem.

Take a Raise or Fold Attitude To Life - When you identify a high-conviction opportunity with favorable risk-adjusted returns, be willing to bet big rather than betting small across everything. This poker-inspired mindset means having the discipline to fold on mediocre opportunities and concentrate resources on your best ideas. Most people bet too little on their highest-conviction plays and spread themselves too thin.

To achieve high standards you need to set them high but you also need a ton of structure and support to best facilitate to get to that standard. So once a high standard is set, the focus should be around creating a system of support, a harness to achieve that standard

The path towards becoming a high energy, high disciplined individual starts with understanding everyday as a crucible. Every day and every moment in the day is an intense "heat" of required activities (waking up early, going to the gym, eating clean, doing useful work) that separates the valuable traits of an individual from the worthless (laziness, low energy, lack of focus/attention) Accepting every day as a crucible is the path to living a disciplined life

Allocation of resources (time, money, energy, attention, etc.) under uncertainty is one of the most important things human do. A useful heuristic in determining how to think about an allocation decision is the "shape of the return" or how the value curve behaves over time. Compounding gets highest priority as returns that generate further returns. The curve bends upward and the gap between early starters and late starters becomes uncloseable. Then comes nonlinear, disproportionate value from a single action or moment. Step-function jumps. Finally comes Linear where value returns proportional to input. This works both on the upside (return), and the downside (protection of loss) where preventing compounding loss/decay and nonlinear loss should be prioritized over linear loss.

It feels like I have the present and control of the present and I can plan my next hour piece by piece and that makes it easier to adhere to what I should be doing. On that note, I think I should believe I should be more forward planning. If I just plan adhoc, how would I achieve long term goals

I want to believe that when I allocate time to work on a specific thing or a specific list of things that I should actually do those things and not other things no matter what unless it's an absolute emergency.
