Morgenroutinen sind überbewertet: was wirklich zählt

0:00America was built on the backs of men who smoked cigarettes, drove without seat belts, and had bacon for breakfast. If you miss your biohacking routine this morning, you're going to be okay. There's a time for leverage, but there's also a time for violence, which is just brute force. People get really obsessed with optimal, which is getting the most bang for your buck, but there's also maximizing, which is just getting the most bucks. You lose more life trying to optimize everything than just living it. The stress of trying to be perfect is killing you more quickly than your imperfections. Mhm.

0:39I think that's an ode to billing being willing to take huge amounts of imperfect action towards one goal and being willing to sacrifice other things for an extended period of time despite the fact that other people will say they're making a sacrifice. Like when we enter seasons, I call it, you know, the season of no, which is where you have I have a extended where I say no to almost everything. And most people say that's unbalanced and they hurl that as though it's a bad thing. They're like, that's so unbalanced. You're like, yes, that's the point. Because if I had a balanced outcome, then I won't have the outsized return on this one thing. And so again, like there's so many of these little insults that people will throw at you, like you're unbalanced, you changed, you that they intend as insults, but if you actually don't take your society program response and say, oh, they mean to insult me. But if you actually think about what they're saying, they're saying something that's true.

1:37And then we just need to be okay with that truth because that was the choice we made to begin with. And so I think about that a lot, which is like, how many things do people tell me that they intend to insult me with that I can take as a compliment? Didn't someone bump into Layla walking down the street? Yeah. I it was it it happened so recently. So, yeah, we're walking on the street. Someone bumps into her. I like we don't always walk like side by side cuz there's lots of people. So, we like split up sometimes. Anyway, she she comes back to me and she was like, "Guess what this guy just said?" And I was like, "What?" And she was like, "He called me a skinny bitch." And I was like, "What?" And she But she seemed so happy. And I was like And I was like like I just kind of shook my head like tell me more like explain. She was like, "I mean he said I was skinny."

2:20>> [laughter] >> And I was like, "This is the This is the perfect example of him hurling an insult and her choosing not to be insulted." >> Thank you. >> [laughter] >> Yeah. Thanks. >> really. >> Yeah. Do you really mean it? It It like there like I wonder how many times we've been insulted. Even in like in my younger days where someone said something to me that like if I had my current brain, I could have been like You You really mean it?

2:48>> [laughter] >> Thanks, man. And um yeah, like so unbalanced. I remember I remember I took that as such an insult for such a long period of time. Now, part of that was cuz when I was I was being brought up, balance was like one of the big frames of my household. It was like you have to be balanced, which really just meant you have to be awesome at everything. Um but balance was the was the word. So, being unbalanced was was a term that was used as an insult. And so, um for so many years I wanted to be balanced. Um but then I was like, "Well, nothing great was ever achieved by people who try to be great at all things."

3:18And so, I was like, "Okay, I'm just not going to I'm not I'm I might not have a a great relationship for a long period of time." I mean, there was like a lot of people don't know this, but in the early days of our of our relationship um even when we were married I told Laysha the first 3 years um I said the business comes before our marriage. So, a lot of people don't know that. Um And I was like, "Well, it to me it made sense." It was like "Most people break up over money.

3:43The business makes money. So, the business feeds us, and then we will be okay." That was kind of my my thinking around it. Um and we eventually flipped that to like if we're good, the business will be fine. >> [laughter] >> But it took 3 years to get there. But all that to say like I think having periods of imbalance and maybe to be fair, if we had if I hadn't had that priority at that time, maybe Gym Launch wouldn't have been what it became. And so I can't look back and say like I should have done it different because it's really easy to say that now. But like I might not be here to say that if I had been that way.
