most people aren’t lazy.
their dopamine is just broken.

- 24, mils made, mils lost, 5+ years in this game and these are my 10 rules to not fuck up your life:

- every mf is building a personal brand but no one’s building a personality worth branding just copy pastes everywhere
- wired headphones + fredo espressos + obsession with human psychology = viral products
- you can complain about the game, or learn the rules the choice has always been yours

- Replying to @filippodeniroto fix this, you need a dopamine reset: • cut your screen time in half • delay entertainment until AFTER learning • do boring tasks daily (journaling, walking, reading) the less dopamine you chase, the easier hard work becomes.
- the most important thing in business is momentum, once you have it, guard it all costs
- seems to be a direct correlation between using wired apple earpods and having a high-networth
- Replying to @filippodenirowe don’t procrastinate because we’re weak. we procrastinate because everything else feels better than doing hard shit. the internet overstimulates your brain 24/7. it ruins your ability to sit still and do deep work.
- next 6-months need to be personal for you everything is your fault your responsibility your duty
