I’ve been studying Japanese tea ceremony for a little over a year now. The way you learn is by watching people who are better than you, trying to imitate them, and then receiving corrections from your teacher. There are dozens of types of tea ceremony, but the simple ones you do as a beginner last…

I just got off the phone with the last of the attendees of Superhuman 3 and am totally blown away. Every single attendee followed through with everything they said they would do and many of them made enormous progress that they previously thought was impossible. Best of all, several of them came into SH3 telling…

The more I work on various aspects of my and other peoples’ lives, the more obvious it is that friction is one of one’s biggest enemies. The best way I can define friction is to contrast it with regular challenges that we might encounter. A challenge is something that comes up in your path that,…

I’m usually not all that busy, at least in terms of items on my schedule. I have infinite things that I could do, but very few of them have to happen at specific times or on specific days. If I do have a commitment, though, I will be there exactly on time. An exceptional situation…

I always look forward to the first of the month, and ironically it’s because there’s a bit of work that I do every first that I really look forward to. I write a couple monthly reviews. One of them is for CruiseSheet, but another is just for life in general. I send it to two…

In my normal life, I eat two meals a day. A sardine and a tuna sandwich for lunch, and Chipotle for dinner. I never snack, because I know that these two meals are enough to keep me full throughout the day. When I travel, though, I go into opportunist mode. I don’t know when my…

I’ve written a blog post every single day for a year exactly now. Actually, there have been two or three days I’ve used the “buffer by one day” clause and had to write two the next day, but still– 365 posts in as many days. The bet was Sebastian’s idea, and I agreed to it…

Let’s say you’re going to put ten hours of effort into something, either a project or a habit. Your goal, or one of them, is to get as much out of those ten hours as possible. What will be important at the end isn’t the number of hours put in, but the results. One of…

As you may know, my friend Sebastian and I have a bet going where we must write a blog post every single day for two years. We ironed out the terms and conditions, but one area was left slightly fuzzy– we both travel a lot, so what happens when time zones interfere? We agreed that…

After many months of being deprioritized due to Sett and other obligations, I’ve finally finished my new book on habits, Superhuman by Habit. It’s available right now on Amazon. I’ve been writing for nine years now, and a good portion of that time has been spent focused on self-improvement. How can I get the most…
