Outlines
🤔 You Need to Create Your Own Routine or One Will Be Assigned to You
Paragraph 1 discusses how if you don't actively create your own routine and purpose, society will assign you one. It talks about how a routine brings order and is necessary to prevent overwhelm. Most people follow routines set by society rather than consciously creating their own aligned with personal goals.
👀 Information Programs Our Minds and Identities
Paragraph 2 expands on how the information we're exposed to programs our minds to achieve certain goals unconsciously. Our identity and skills are shaped to align with programmed goals for survival. Without consciously setting our own goals and acquiring skills, our lives are controlled by society.
🚀 How to Transform Your Life in 4 Steps
Paragraph 3 outlines a 4 step process to change your life: 1) Become aware of your problems to create goals 2) Treat self-education as necessary to gain knowledge 3) Acquire skills to achieve goals 4) Bridge gap between current state and goals via consistent practice.
⚡ My Daily Routine Broken Down Step-by-Step
Paragraph 4 details the author's daily routine, including a morning walk, focused work blocks, more walking/running, gym, lunch with editor, naps/recovery, and dinner. He explains the intention behind each step.

Highlights
Routines allow you to focus your attention when conditioned, and programed over time to make action seamless.
This is why working a job sucks, but not enough to make you quit and pursue something that sucks more until it sucks less.
Life is suffering, and you have the ability to choose what you suffer for, every single day.
Your goals, are the axis of your suffering, and most people are pursuing goals that aren't their own.
Here's a quote from me High to accept me high.
The pursuit of a goal, brings order and awareness, because a person must concentrate attention, on the task at hand and momentarily forget everything else.
You don't need motivation, or discipline, when you are the person who would take certain actions.
The first step to changing your life, is to become brutally aware of the problems, that make you want to change your life.
Daily self-education as an absolute necessity.
The difference between where you are, and where you want to be is skill.
I encourage you to take bits and pieces of my routine, as inspiration for your own, so that you can test and experiment
I stack all of my priority tasks in this work, so I can complete them before most people wake up.
As work becomes less structured, so a soft plug, is that I teach how to become a digital writer in my course.
I aim for around 15 to 20000 steps a day, just because of the stacked benefits that it brings.
Don't let your lack of knowledge hold you in a narrow mind right here.
Transcripts
If you don't create a routine, you will be assigned one.
If you don't create a purpose, you will be assigned one.
If you don't create a career, you will be assigned one.
People are too quick
to adopt the structure that somebody else created to ease
life's uncertainty.
You need a routine, and if you think you don't,
you may not realize
that you have already been assigned one by society or
your routine is not having a routine.
Without rules, there is no game.
Without a game.
There is no winning.
A routine contains the rules for how you live your life.
The longer you play, the better you get.
And as you're getting better,
you often forget the rules and win anyways.
Now is the time to stop playing the game.
Society told you to play and start playing your own.
A powerful routine,
no matter how long prevents overwhelm as you progress towards
your goals.
Most people are progressing towards
goals that were given to them.
They are progressing the dreams of someone else
rather than their own.
Without a routine that you created, your life will slowly fall
faster and faster down a chaotic hole into a life
of responsibilities, work
people, and a personality that you despise.
Routines are comfortable and the mind craves order.
Routines allow you to focus your attention when conditioned
and programed over time to make action seamless.
This is why working a job sucks,
but not enough to make you quit and pursue
something that sucks more until it sucks less.
Life is suffering
and you have the ability to choose what you suffer for
every single day.
Your goals
are the axis of your suffering,
and most people are pursuing goals that aren't their own.
Their suffering doesn't bring fulfillment.
Here's a quote from me High to accept me high.
The optimal state of inner experience
is one in which there is order in consciousness.
This happens
when psychic energy
or attention is invested in realistic goals,
and when skills match the opportunities for action.
The pursuit of a goal
brings order and awareness
because a person must concentrate attention
on the task at hand and momentarily forget everything else.
So we need to talk about how to focus your attention
to reverse psychic entropy or disorder in the mind.
But we also have to understand how identity or personality
comes into play here.
You don't need motivation
or discipline
when you are the person who would take certain actions.
A bodybuilder doesn't need motivation to eat healthy.
A gamer doesn't need discipline to stare at a screen all day.
A writer doesn't need motivation to synthesize ideas.
An employee doesn't need discipline to show up to work.
All of those could be perceived as positive or negative
by a specific type of person.
A gamer that stares at a screen all day
that could be considered very bad
if you aren't actually in the pursuit of goals
that you chose for yourself.
And you have to understand bringing back
the idea that your goals are the axis of your suffering, where
if you want to be, let's say a professional gamer,
there's nothing wrong with that.
But you have to accept the potential decline in health
that will come from that,
and that is subtracting from other areas of your life
so that you can succeed in another area of your life.
The same thing goes for a bodybuilder
as the first example where eating healthy isn't hard
or they don't need motivation or discipline to do it.
But it could subtract from other areas of their life,
like having a social life going out, letting loose a bit.
Certain people value certain things based on their identity
and where they focus their attention.
So these people do what they do
because their survival is at stake.
And this isn't physical survival here.
This is mental.
Animals survive the information in their genetic code.
Humans survive the information in their consciousness.
Animals survive their physical form.
And while we do that, too, we've also transcended that plane
into the mental plane, thanks to self-reflective consciousness.
And that
meaning self-reflective meaning that we are aware of our self,
our idea, the mental form that we are attempting to survive.
The web of ideas that creates our personality
or identity that when threatened, feels like a physical threat.
And the information
that we are fed as children, that programs who we are,
the things that we know, the known, not the unknown,
what is familiar to us, what we're aware of for our survival.
And for most people,
this is limited to a microscopic fraction of reality that is.
Go to school.
Get a job.
Retire at 65.
In terms of choosing a career for others,
go to church every Sunday. But you get the point here.
That's all you know.
And so that's that's the tool for your survival.
That's the knowledge that you're using to survive.
It's the ideas.
When one of those are threatened or questioned,
then you can feel that threat response.
Where if a bodybuilder that likes to eat healthy
only has the option to eat unhealthy food,
he's probably not going to be very happy.
He's going to be very stressed.
He's going to be out of routine.
He's going to be in the unknown.
He's going to be
in the
unfamiliar area of life
and he's going to have to deal with it however he can.
So back to the point,
the information we are exposed to as children
and throughout our lives programs our minds
to run uncertain systems.
A system, in brief, is the process of reaching a goal.
Obviously, this can get extremely complex,
so let's just keep it to that.
A system is the process of achieving a goal.
So our identity is a web of conscious and unconscious goals
that determine the skills
we acquire,
the interest we learn,
and the choices we make in alignment with those goals.
When we are programing our mind or programing the systems
in our mind, the information roads that our mind operates
on, they're all operating towards specific goals
relating to survival and other things.
And so we're just making decisions
every day
based on the information
that we've collected in the systems
that have formed in our minds over time.
You are already acting
toward layers of unconscious goals every second of the day.
They've been conditioned to the point
of not requiring conscious thought.
You wake up, walk, brush your teeth maybe,
and put on your clothes so that you aren't seen as an outcast.
These are all skills that you have developed as a human
with the goal of fitting in and surviving in society.
This goes deep.
The social matrix of goals creates humans that all operate
in a similar fashion with a slightly different goal of society.
We could all be walking around naked
and communicating with each other
by tapping people on the head with a stick.
Biological goals clearly influence this.
When we don't have clarity on how to achieve a goal.
Our mind becomes disordered.
We become overwhelmed, anxious, and narrow minded
because the challenge of the goal
does not match the skill that we have.
Our mind starts to decline into chaos.
This is known as entropy.
Entropy is universal.
It doesn't only apply to things like buildings
that fall apart with time and less maintained.
The structure of your mind or
identity is an invisible building.
You reverse entropy by making a goal conscious,
creating a path to achieve it,
and focusing your attention on priority actions
that bring results as feedback.
These priority actions revolve around
daily self education in practice
so that you expose yourself to the information
that creates a new identity with time.
And then that new identity allows you to perceive certain
situations as advantageous towards your conscious goals.
And you start to see problems in situations as opportunities.
So we'll talk about how to master
new skills fast in a future video.
But for now, just understand this lesson.
You need a plan.
There isn't any other way
because if you don't have one, society does.
And they've been planning your life for decades.
If you don't set your own goals,
acquire the skill
necessary to take on the challenge and forge your own path.
Your destiny will be manhandled by society
and you won't even realize it.
Nobody wants to wake up 40 years
later wondering where the time went.
Now let's discuss the four pillars of the good life.
This is how we reverse entropy.
Or in simpler terms, this is how we reverse the downward spiral
into chaos.
Overwhelm anxiety.
When we don't have the clarity to achieve our goals.
Becoming multidimensional,
hijacked is the path to the good life.
I talk about this in the video.
On becoming multidimensional hijacked.
You need four habits
one that builds your mind, one that builds your body.
One that builds your business.
One that builds your relationships.
The good life is the process
of becoming everything you could be.
All of these domains of life are interconnected systems
that create who you are and reverse entropy in the mind.
Tiny improvements are what create an ordered mind.
And so just to bring clarity to this mind body
business relationships, that is what composes who you are.
Those are the four main pillars that we have to peel back,
improve and evolve on a daily basis.
Those are the main things that are within your control,
and they're also the eternal markets and business.
I talk about this in the one person business videos
or any of my business videos
is that the eternal markets,
health, wealth,
relationships and happiness are where
most burning problems lie.
Those are the most profitable problems to solve.
So if you can solve your own problems
and solve the solution,
that's how you do what you want for a living by solving
the problems that make your life better
and selling them to make other people's lives better.
That's a value exchange.
You exchange the solution to a problem
that makes someone else's life better
in exchange for what you want, which is money.
So by adopting a daily habit
for each pillar of your life, success becomes inevitable.
My question to you If you aren't building your mind,
body, business and relationships every single day,
what are you doing?
Here's a genuine question
Is there anything more important than that?
Or is everything you do now a distraction?
But then I want to enjoy myself and do what I want.
Do you understand what enjoyment is when compared to pleasure?
Do you realize that human psychology
has been mapped
over the course of evolution
to show that humans have an innate drive to grow, expand,
transcend and create enjoyment is found in progress.
Doing what you want is often
the ego
ending the train of thought
that would lead to you improving yourself
because that's what your nature wants is to improve yourself.
You can truly do what you want
when you peel back the layers of what you think you want.
So I'm not going to give you
a super scientific approach to have information.
I'm just going to give you
the only real way to make behavior change seamless with time.
So the first step is to align your future with a holistic goal.
For those that don't know what holistic means,
it means all encompassing or you're viewing it
from the whole of the situation
rather than a part of the situation. Big picture.
So this requires you to zoom out
and see beyond a narrow problem.
Like if you're having money problems right
now, that's
not the only domain of your life that needs improvement.
And as a matter of fact,
money is interconnected to all other domains of your life.
So solving your money problems may not actually happen
until you choose to zoom out
and change every single domain of your life.
In other words, changing who you are on a fundamental level,
goals can't exist without the awareness of a problem.
Goals and problems create a frame for your perspective.
Your perspective determines
what information you perceive as important
A person with money problems
and the goals of society will see a new job opportunity
as important.
A person who has money problems
and self-generated
goals will see a business opportunity as important.
Both people will read a book and interpret it
in a completely different way,
whether it's the Bible
or a self-help book or a fiction book or whatever it is.
The problems and goals
that are framing your current perspective
are going to determine
the information that you see as important within that book.
You're going to highlight different quotes from someone else
because it is going to be relevant
and relatable to your situation.
So if you're a writer or a creator or a one person business
or anything of that nature, a creator in general, who you are,
then you have to understand that this comes into play
when you're writing or distributing products
or just giving things to other people,
and you want it to relate to them.
You want them to perceive it as important
as you have to understand
the problems and goals that are on their mind.
So you can frame what it is that you're giving to them.
Writing products, creations, whatever videos,
so that it does actually register in their awareness.
This is marketing and sales as a whole
is just understanding
the goals
and problems of your target audience and providing clarity
in between or a solution, a product, a system, a how to video,
whatever it is. You help people transform.
The first step to changing your life
is to become brutally aware of the problems
that make you want to change your life.
If you're reading this, then you obviously have problems.
Everybody does.
The big problem is a lack of awareness of your problems.
Sit and become negative for a while.
Let your mind run wild
to create an anti vision for your future.
What is the worst case scenario
if you continue
with the same mental, physical,
financial and relational actions
you are taking,
then use that as a place to toss an anchor into the future.
Create a big vision generating goal that encapsulates
each domain of life.
Next, we will bridge the gap between where you are
and where you want to be.
With self-education and skill acquisition.
So step number two after creating a holistic goal, is to treat
daily self-education as an absolute necessity.
Schools are necessary in many cases,
but they teach you a fraction of what actually exists
in reality.
They train you into a compartment of reality,
like chemistry, physiology, or literature, and lack
regard for the holistic interconnectedness
that breeds true intelligence.
Without self-education,
you go through life
with the same narrow identity and perspective as everyone else.
You're not a unique individual.
If you never self educate, you're the same as everyone else.
Being fed the same information
from the social matrix of goals that are assigned to you
to operate within society.
Now, this social matrix isn't a bad thing.
It creates an intellectual structure to anchor our attention
so that we can actually survive here.
But outside of that,
what's more, are you just surviving or are you creating?
Education expands your mind.
It introduces you to novel perspectives.
It increases dopamine in the brain
as a consistent source of energy.
It gives you the knowledge to act
with clarity towards your goals over time.
Education conditions your mind to run on new systems.
If you were to only immerse
your mind
in information that taught you
how to build a profitable business, you would.
And if you sit back and think about how building a business
is a skill just like anything else
and a skill comes from mental programing in practice,
then you'd understand the truth
in this where programing your mind with specific information
that eventually
creates actions conducive to your goals over time.
Your goal being building a business,
then you would actually do that thing.
Self-education is where most people lack
because they just skip it entirely.
They don't have a section of their morning
dedicated to reading
or consuming or researching or pushing into the mental unknown
so they can discover
new perspectives
to integrate into their own, to expand themselves.
Because if you think of business building as a skill,
just like learning to walk,
walking is a very fucking difficult skill.
It's hard.
It takes children
a long time to do, but they still do it
and now it's automatic to the point
where you don't think about it.
It's like a basketball player
that has played for
so long
and has gone pro to the point
where they're not even thinking about what they're doing.
They're just playing and having fun in the game
and do very well that way.
And so if you get to the point
where you practice and educated yourself on business,
making money becomes seamless
and don't let your lack of knowledge hold you in a narrow mind
right here.
You can make as many judgments and assumptions and projections
into a future you haven't experienced or understand right now.
But that's not going to change the reality
of what skill
acquisition is
and being able to train yourself
to achieve any goal that you want.
It took you 18
plus years to shape
your actions with education
from your parents friends and schools.
It's going to take a few years
to shape your actions with information that you curate.
So step number three after setting a holistic goal and treating
self-education as an absolute necessary practice,
step number three is acquiring the skillset
necessary to achieve those goals.
The difference between where you are
and where you want to be is skill.
This is a fact.
You don't have the results you want
because you aren't the person with the skill
that would get those results.
The only thing that can stop you
is getting distracted to the point of falling off the path.
Skills can be trained.
As I said before,
learning to walk
and speak are arguably the most complex skills
you've ever learned.
They are more complex than building $1,000,000 company.
The thing is, you didn't have a mind trained by limits
that you were taught by people
who didn't break through their own.
With this, you need to things.
One is a 30 to 60 minute self-education habit.
Read my courses, listen to podcast and acquire
ample knowledge that provides you the capability to act.
Step two is a 30 to 60 minute building habit.
Apply your knowledge in reality
and experiment with what you learn.
Get feedback and iterate until success.
Learning comes from struggle, not memorization.
When you build in the real world and you hit a wall,
a problem is created. It's presented to you.
You may or may not become aware of the problem
depending on your skill and experience.
This is what prevents most people's progress.
They blame their lack of progress
on anything but their own ability.
The problem sits in your subconscious
mind to filter the information you get from your self-education
as you repeat this process of education and building for
1 to 5 years, you will be awestruck by how far you've come.
Now let's talk about my daily routine.
I will provide reasons and whys behind each part of my routine.
But this is an important point.
Every aspect of your routine should be intentional.
Intention equals what you are stretching towards.
The more reasons or whys you can stack behind your actions,
the easier it becomes and the more beneficial
it is to a great future.
You discover these reasons
or whys by having a goal to apply yourself to education too.
If I want to commit to a gym habit,
self-education around habit formation
and the gym will give me the reasoning necessary to do so.
If and only if I am building in reality, please
note that my routine may not be feasible for you.
I'm not presenting this
as just a piece of the puzzle to plug into your day.
Please also note that this is the result of five
plus years of experience,
actually ten
plus years of experimentation to find what I personally deemed
enjoyable and conducive
to the ideal future that I want to create.
I encourage you to take bits and pieces of my routine
as inspiration for your own
so that you can test and experiment
with something that may not have crossed your mind earlier.
So the first thing that I do is
I take a 30 minute morning walk.
First thing in the morning, around 6 a.m., I get outside.
No matter the weather or how I feel,
I will either
listen to a podcast
or educational material or just plan out my day on my phone.
I aim for around 15 to 20000 steps a day
just because of the stacked benefits that it brings.
My life.
Walking is one of those activities that requires minimal effort
but brings maximal results.
Walking clears my mind, wakes me up, gets me away
from distractions, acts as a creativity block in my day,
keeps me lean, keeps me healthy, keeps me slightly tan
and reverses most of the damage done
by sitting under light sucking blue light.
Note that I'm experimenting with different blocks
of my morning right now.
The past few days I tried meditating
and reading in the morning, like 15 minutes of each.
Today I just got straight into work
and so I'm just testing things right now, as I always do.
I don't let my routine get stagnant
because there's always a way to improve.
And if I don't experiment,
then I eventually get trapped in the known.
Until I realize that I have to change my routine
because everything in life must evolve.
So the second thing that I do is 90 minutes of focused work.
I have a list of recurring tasks
and levers that I execute every morning.
This is when I write things like books, newsletters, content
and marketing material.
I stack all of my priority tasks in this work
so I can complete them before most people wake up.
This allows me to gradually introduce entropy into my day.
As work becomes less structured, so a soft plug
is that I teach how to become a digital writer in my course.
Two hour writer.
This is
the first 90 minutes of my morning
and the 30 minutes before on a walk
is idea generation and writing for literally everything
that like everything, the good that has
come in my life like this YouTube video is a written script.
So step three is that I go on another 30 minute walk or I run.
So I've been running three times a week for about 30 minutes
on Monday, Wednesday, Friday.
And this is just to hit the general recommendation
of like 150 minutes of zone two cardio a week.
I do this three times a week for 30 minutes.
So that's not 150 minutes.
But I trust that my 15 to 20000 steps
will cover the rest of that zone to cardio.
So on the days that I don't run
because it's hard for me to focus
and write things down on a run, obviously. So I'll walk.
And this is when I listen to more podcasts,
audio books, just educational material,
YouTube videos that I really like,
and I collect ideas in my phone using cortex.
Cortex is an outlet,
but I get to use it,
and I've been using this system
for a long time now for capturing ideas.
I actually have a use case which is writing or creating.
Step four is again another 90 minute focused work.
BLOCK So after my run or walk a shower, eat breakfast,
and I sit back down to work during this block,
I do less creative tasks.
This is when I help
with like administrative work or client work or
introducing myself to more people, like responding to clients
or people that I'm working with.
And this is when open loops and distractions
really start to take over.
So this is why I have it later in my mornings,
because at the very start of my morning,
I want to make sure I get everything
I have to do for the day done
so that I don't have to worry about it.
The stuff
that isn't really necessary, like me responding to people,
which is kind of necessary,
but it's not as like
it's not as clever
moving as writing content every single morning.
So open loops and distractions happen here,
but that can just be mitigated by another walk.
And I've broken down my deep work routine
before I forget what the video is called,
but it's one of my most popular videos.
So if you go to my popular videos,
it's like the third or fourth one.
So step five is I take calls or I go on another walk.
If you've been following me for a while,
this is a new block
because I've gone over my routine before, obviously.
But I used to despise calls
and I removed them completely from my day.
I stopped client work, I stopped all calls, but with core
texts, the software that I'm building,
this isn't possible anymore.
And I had to accept that even though it threatened my identity.
We were talking about mental survival.
I adopted a person that doesn't take calls as my identity,
and it was actually it had a lot of friction for me to like,
start to incorporate that consistently into my days.
And the thing here is when I zoom out,
I want Cortex to succeed more than I don't want to take calls.
Therefore I want to take calls.
So these calls, as we're building cortex,
the software, we're already monetizing, we're already on track
for the revenue numbers that I mentioned in previous video.
I won't break those down now,
but I'll break them down in a future video
about how we built Cortex
two X million dollars before the software even released.
So with that, we're taking on consulting clients for Cortex.
That's how we're monetizing.
So if you actually want to be a client of ours and work with us
directly to learn writing, speaking, marketing, sales,
brand content, product promotions
with our systems in either group setting or one on one,
there's a link to apply to work with us below.
So most days
now I work 4 to 5 hours, and even with my excessive workload,
I'm still close to that four hour workday
philosophy that I always talk about.
Now, of course, my work goes over this occasionally
because I have a lot more on my plate
and it's a lot more unpredictable
because I'm also
launching a book, recording the audio book
for the next three days.
Tomorrow, I'm going to be working more than 4 hours
Those days alone.
So it's all variable, but I'm talking baseline.
Like what?
I'm continuously working back to and using that philosophy
as a way to identify problems like working over 4 hours
in order to create systems and solutions that allow me
to do what I do better in that time.
BLOCK
So these calls include things
like client calls or internal company calls or design calls
or development calls or product
build calls and our progress on that.
And if I don't have to be at my desk,
then I'll take these calls on a walk in.
If I don't have any calls for the day,
then I just go on a walk.
So step six is that I go to the gym.
By now it's around 1 to 2 p.m.
and this is the turning point
where my day goes from work to rest.
I know that I won't be able to operate my best after the gym,
so I treat this as a work cut off time.
Now, for the past I'd say six months.
I trained every day
and since workload is piling up,
I might switch back to three days a week.
I'm going to experiment with that this week.
But I used to train every day and please,
I don't need your training ideology.
Don't tell me about it.
I studied all of them.
I like training every day.
So step number
seven after the gym is just having a long conversational lunch
with my editor so that we can catch up and kind of just
socialize and talk about things that aren't business.
Just have a good laugh together, have a good lunch.
Because myself and him and my friends keep their social circle
extremely small.
I used to have a lot of contacts before and it just
it just doesn't make sense anymore
because that seem to always subtract from my life
rather than add to it.
So I'm not it's not
that I'm not open to adding new people to my life, it's
that I've just reached a place
where I have to be very careful with who I let into my life.
Step number eight
is that I take a nap
or I go on another walk or I finish busy work.
So it's about like 3 to 4:00 now
and things are starting to get boring here,
so I'll spare you that.
But this is the part of my day
where it's dedicated to psychological recovery.
So I'll either do like very easy busy work
that helps me catch up or I'll just take a nap
or I'll recover my mind
because like in the gym, you have to take rest.
Like with work, you also have to take rest.
So step number nine,
the last step is that I'll either go to dinner with a friend
or I'll stay in and spend time with my girlfriend.
I love nice dinners.
Like that's
one of the bad habits of mine,
even though I don't think it's a bad habit.
Like, that's really
the only thing
that I spend a lot of my money on is just good food,
good experiences, good dinners.
And when I eat out,
like when you eat at a nice place, it's
kind of hard to eat
like crap,
Like it's hard to be unhealthy
because most of the meals there are, they have protein
like steak or fish, and then they have like potatoes.
It's just a nicer way of preparing the dinner
that I would have prepared for myself.
And so most nights I'll go out to dinner
or I'll just stay in and watch Netflix with my girlfriend.
And that's really my entire day.
Now, obviously,
there's other events in life like me
recording the audio book tomorrow
for the hour to focus
or going up to spend some time in the mountains
or traveling somewhere or just like doing other things right.
But I'm talking about the baseline routine
that I fall back to every day.
So I truly hope that helped.
Maybe give you some inspiration if it did like and comment.
