Essentialism

3d ago

I’ve read a lot of “same advice, new packaging” books… Essentialism wasn’t that. If you don't prioritize your life, someone else will. ✂️ The Book Drop summary made the structure crystal clear. I’m copying one framework into my notes and testing it for 7 days. Will update if it sticks!

I’ve read a lot of “same advice, new packaging” books… The Courage to Be Disliked wasn’t that. All problems are interpersonal relationship problems. 🇯🇵 The Book Drop summary made the structure crystal clear. I’m copying one framework into my notes and testing it for 7 days. Will update if it sticks!

This line stayed with me all week: “Spend extravagantly on the things you love, and cut costs mercilessly on the things you don't.”

Longer thoughts on Outliers: Practice isn't the thing you do once you're good. It's the thing you do that makes you good. 🎻 I’ve recommended this idea to two friends already. One said it reframed how they plan their mornings; the other saved the quote for their journal. That’s the power of a good 10-minute summary. Dropping it here for the community 🌍

Yes. Exactly this. The Hook Model: Trigger, Action, Variable Reward, Investment.

Finished Extreme Ownership via Book Drop and I keep coming back to this idea. There are no bad teams, only bad leaders. 🫡 I’ve been rushing my goals for months — this made me rethink the systems underneath. Going to try one tiny daily habit this week and see what compounds.

If you only remember one thing from Bad Blood: Fake it till you make it — until you don't.
