I've already learned a lot of these life lessons and put them into practice in my own way. They are truly helpful for advancing your future.

20 Short Habits With a Massive Return on Life​

  1. Write down one thing you're grateful for every day.
  2. Consume educational content at 1.5x speed. Retention is the same.
  3. Swap your phone for a Kindle at bedtime (fixed 90% of my sleep problems).
  4. Automate small decisions/tasks. Save your brain power for bigger things.
  5. Learn to use body scan meditation to fall asleep quickly.
  6. If you want something, ask for it. Closed mouths don't get fed.
  7. Double down on creative activities that make you lose track of time.
  8. Keep a swipe file of things that resonate with you.
  9. Write down the most story-worthy moment from each day.
  10. Put your phone out of reach while you're working.
  11. Try tracking every minute of your day. See how you actually spend time.
  12. If you're procrastinating on something, work on it for just 2 minutes.
  13. Be bored more often. Give your brain space to be creative.
  14. Revisit things that have brought you joy in the past. They'll do it again.
  15. Take care of your information diet. Carefully curate your feeds.
  16. Reach out to people just because they crossed your mind.
  17. Don't compare your behind-the-scenes to everyone else's highlight reel.
  18. "Read what you love, until you love to read" - Naval Ravikant
  19. If you want to change something in your life—track it.
  20. Break down problems into the smallest possible action steps.

I tried this for a week. While retention was the same, it made some conversations borderline intolerable because the point wasn't reached in a speedy manner.

I wouldn't recommend this as I think it puts a strain on your attention span and you need the context in any conversation quicker or you become agitated. At least, that was from my experience of trying it out.
