The Value of Less

And how to get more of it.

“I need more time.”

That’s what we all say, right. And I have it!
Not only do I have no wife or kids, but today I am traveling, I don’t have my dog to walk and no meetings for the rest of the day. So of course I think - Yes, I’ll finally feel ahead!

Nope.

Not even close.

The opposite actually.

The day mostly became reading Ai newsletters. I went down a seemingly productive chat with Ai, only to feel exhausted afterward. And it’s through this experience that I realize, more time only exacerbates my current habits.

But….

Less time will force me to change them.

Fewer projects will make me focus.

Reducing inputs (news, social media, etc) will slow down the new ideas that are interrupting my execution on the ideas I already have.

Even Ai, which tries to keep you engaged, told me to GTFO:

Try that prompt some time after a long session.

Here’s to less. Wish me luck.
