Meditate upon death to motivate yourself →

This blind spot in our perception is why we confidently tell ourselves that we’ll start that business, lose the weight, repair our relationship, get organized…in a few weeks or a few months, because then we’ll have more time. It’s an illusion. It’s a self-deception that allows us to soothe the pangs of our unfulfilled desires with the panacea that now is not the right time. The mirage of the time-filled future can string a man along until he’s 80, has one foot in the grave, and realizes that the expanse of time he imagined would open never appeared.

An updated version of the “peak oil” story →

Published September 13, 2016  ·  All posts on Sep 13

Instead of the scenario envisioned by Peak Oilers, I think that it is likely that we will in the very near future hit a limit similar to the collapse scenarios that many early civilizations encountered when they hit resource limits. We don’t think about our situation as being similar to early economies, but we too are reaching a situation of decreasing resources per capita (especially energy resources). The resource we are most concerned about is oil, but there are other resources in short supply, including fresh water and some minerals.

Motivation: You’re doing it wrong →

Published September 6, 2016  ·  All posts on Sep 6  ·  

Motivation is going to promise you things, and then leave you when you need it most. When you can capitalize on that motivation by lowering the amount of inertia you have to overcome to take action every day, the more likely you’ll be to succeed.
