The Baseline

There is a baseline that you should strive for. An everyday, non-negotiable, automatically programmed baseline.

It should look something like this:

Get sweat coming out of your pores.

Eat nothing that your ancestors would not eat.

Get cold water on you. Feel the dread, the flinch - and do it anyway.

Spend time inside of yourself. And outside of yourself.

Pick three needle moving goals. Accomplish them.

Spend next to no time consuming. Spend the vast majority creating, building, seeking, learning, growing.

Tidy your space for a few minutes. Consistency births more than a sprint.

Challenge yourself.

Spend time with people that make you feel complete.

Do nothing that you would hate yourself for. Do not give into vice.

Sleep well knowing you did all the right things.

Get up, and do it again tomorrow.

This is the bare minimum.

This is your new baseline.
