How I Hardwired My Brain For Success.

701 words = 5 minute read

In today's world, we are constantly being manipulated into becoming the average, lazy, and zombie person that scrolls on TikTok for 12+ hours a day.

Everything has been made easy.

Our brains crave more and more of this easy life which, once you start having to

pay bills
manage a family
work a 9 to 5

then becomes extremely difficult.

All because you didn't prepare when you should have.

But... Not all hope is lost and, of course, you can still turn this around.

This is how I did it ⬇️

The Negative Trigger ⚡

Yes, I too don't want to do hard sh*t.

I too want to lay in bed all day binging shows and living an easy life.

So, in order to fight back those feelings I turn them into undeniable triggers.

Let's say that today you really don't feel like working out...

Then on that day you REALLY HAVE to workout.

Or today you really don't feel like reading...

Then you REALLY HAVE to read. You get the point.

I completely forget my emotions and "not wanting to do it", and I simply do it.

Don't let your brain control you.

Deep Work & Time Blocking 🧠

Deep working is a state of distraction-free concentration when your brain works at its maximum potential".

Deep working allows you to be multiple times more productive and efficient.

In order to enter the flow state of Deep Work you should get rid of distractions like, of course, your phone.

A technique you have to pair with Deep Work is Time Blocking.

Time Blocking consists of dividing your day into blocks of time.

Each block dedicated to accomplishing a specific task and ONLY that task.

Schedule each day at least 1 day before.

Make Your Workspace Attractive 👨‍💻

Working in a messy environment can be really damaging to your productiveness.

I have always found that having a clear and minimal workspace makes my brain less foggy, more creative, and more motivated.

A great tip is to always declutter and clean your space before you leave.

This will make coming back to work on the next day 10x more satisfying and pleasant.

Key takeaways from The Almanac of Naval Ravikant.

The Almanac of Naval Ravikant is subdivided into two main parts: Wealth and Happiness.

These are my key takeaways from each part 👇

Wealth

Develop a skill, become great at it, and monetise it;
Figure out how you can leverage your work to make your money depend less on how much time you spend on it (e.g. outsourcing, AI, etc);
Pick highly valuable business partners, that possess the utmost integrity;
Learn how to sell and persuade people (ethically, of course).

Happiness

Play for money, not status;
Make the hard choices now, to make you life in the future easier;
Don't take what adults tell you as guarantee;
Happiness is a choice and it is yours to make;
Don't take yourself too seriously and learn to be okay with who you are;
Strive for freedom.

Something you need to hear.

You will never meet a hater doing better than you.

— David Goggins

We often care about what other people think of us.

We are hardwired that way.

But that doesn't mean we have to subdue to it.

People always want you to do good, but never better than themselves.

And that's when they hate - when they feel threatened by you.

So, in reality, it has nothing to do with you and everything to do with them.

I always try to have empathy for these people instead of reflecting the hate they give me.

Fight hate with love and not more hate.

Most of all, keep doing your thing.
