“If I only had an hour to chop down a tree, I would spend the first 45 minutes sharpening my ax.”
— Abraham Lincoln
Since I started my job as a full-time Venture Capitalists in 2015, I have created the habit of starting my weeks on Sunday. I combine it with wrapping the week earlier on a Friday. Double reward for me.
I saw this post from my friend Danielle, and it reminded me, hey, time to make some coffee and plan the week.
I work daily, including Saturdays and Sundays. Not recommending hustling porn; It is a simple preference. For instance, this weekend, I had six calls between Saturday and Sunday, which felt great. It isn’t painful to me as I live an integrated life with work, God, and my Ikigai.
The compounding power of putting in an extra 6-10 hours a week for the last decade helped me tremendously on the quest towards Munger/Naval freedom.
I appreciate the silence of Sunday nights. Everything is quiet, and you get to crush your messages, to-dos, events, plans, and, most importantly, plan the week with peace.
When you put the correct intention combined with action, you feel better. There is nothing like a good aromatherapy machine, a clean desk, warm coffee, noise-canceling headphones, some candles, and the feeling of crushing the week a bit ahead of others.
We all suffer from problems, temptations, and disappointments. To experience success, you must have experienced failure.
The 1% better manifesto is a list of principles for people that believe in constant improvement, spiritual harmony and being resourceful to the next person.
This chapter of The War of Art is perfect. Instead of writing something today, I’ve decided to re-publish in its entirety.
