My Experience
I’m climbing my way toward mastery.
More than anything, I just need a few more years.
I already have a fairly sophisticated system. But for me, figuring out what I really want takes reps.
I use my goals to carve out a life purpose.
Points of emphasis respond to change in both me and in the world. But all the while, they pull me forward.
I create goals then mold my character to the traits that those objectives require. My goals help me discover the man I need to be so that I can do the things I want to do.
So far, they’ve served me well. Long may it continue.
- Importance – 99%
- Passion – 85%
- Mastery – 90%

Good Life Foundation
Goals are fundamental. They are an essential pillar of a good life. Without them, it’s easy to get blown to and fro by the winds of the world.
Where Goal Setting Fits in a Good Life
Goals are one of the most important pieces of the Achievement puzzle.
For me, they’re a “Tier 2” concept, on the same level as Mindset, Habits, Growth, and High Performance.
It is also closely tied to practices like Journaling.

I’m no high performance titan. I stand on the shoulders of giants. I simply listen to what my Heroes say and apply it. Not everything sticks. But enough does to make a lasting impact.
Data
Dump
One of the main purposes of This Site is to catalog my learnings. I’m not that learned. But I’m working on becoming moreso. If you see a “data dump” on this site, you’re looking at unsorted information. It may be related or completely unrelated, depending on the topic.
PNTV: How to Become a Straight-A Student by Cal Newport
1. Pseudo-Work – 2:07
- The distinction between “kinda working but mostly hanging out” (psudo-work) and real work
- The thing you need to pay attention to is Work = Time spent doing it x Intensity
- Students who spend a lot of time grinding but don’t have a lot of intensity still end up doing mediocrely
- If you dial up your intensity, you have to put in less work
- Deep work time-blocks create masterpiece days
2. Procrastiation – 5:06
- None of these straight-A students eliminated procrastination completely
- You’re gonna have the urge to procrastinate, but you can develop effective strategies to combat it
- It’s not about getting rid of the urge
- Strategies include being well-rested and well-fed (research agrees). The fastest way to deplete your willpower is to be tired and hungry
3. When? Where? How Long? – 6:41
- When should we study? Where should we study? And how long should we study?
- When? Early. The earlier the better. You’re best between when you wake up and before dinner. You want to use your best energy wisely, then enjoy your evenings.
- Where? In isolation. Go find somewhere where no one’s going to find you and turn everything off.
- How long? Don’t work for longer than an hour in one stretch. We want to be focused and intense, which can be draining and lead to procrastination.
4. #1 Tip = Q – 8:42
- If you want to study effectively, the worst way is to re-read your notes. This gives you the “fluency illusion.”
- Shut your book, get out a blank sheet of paper, and quiz yourself. The science says the best way t study is to self-test. Shut your notes and see if you can say it out loud.
5. S.P.A.C.E.O.U.T. – 10:47
- Space out your studying time, no matter what you’re doing
- Your mind can only work so hard so long. For memorizing, never try and do more than an hour at a time.
- You’re better off taking that time and splitting it up
- Your mind works best with frequent check-ins (“distributed learning”)
- Do intense real work over time instead of cramming
