The “New Normal” Is A Scam

"A man always has two reasons for doing anything: a good reason and the real reason."

-J. P. Morgan

Who runs the government?

Men and women.

Before 2020, the effects of what the government did was limited in the typical citizen's life. It seemed like there was a healthy dose of checks and balances. Most of us could go about our business and pursue our dreams without much interference.

Then 2020 happened, and everything changed.

Millions of small businesses were forced to close while big corporations stayed open, raking in billions upon billions in profit.

Draconian laws preventing the freedom to worship and the freedom to assemble were enforced by cowards in a police uniform. (Parks and temples in New York have been chained up to prevent people from getting in. I kid you not.)

Hospitals were supposed to be overwhelmed. They weren't and aren't. The death rate has been going down every day even while more tests have been performed AND EVEN while those tests are extremely fault and show false positives all the time. No media is reporting on this because that will remove the air from their propaganda balloon. 

Epidemiologists, the same kind of "researchers" that gave us the obesity epidemic and Big Pharma and Big Food at the hands of their observational "research," cried BIG BAD WOLF.

These fools sit in a room and look at a bunch of data then interrupt that data in whatever way their bias leans. I kid you not; this is what they do. And most of the time, the research they look at is a joke and not vetted at all.

These fools try to apply mathematical models to nature, yet nature does not follow a nifty mathematical model. (Nassim Taleb, one of my favorite authors, calls BS on this in his book "Fooled by randomness.")

Now we are stuck in what the elite are calling "the new normal," which includes millions of people wearing masks and stepping to the side anytime another human walks by. 

A new normal is based in fear, and the control of the masses is always rooted in fear. 

The War on drugs, War on terrorism, now War on a bogey virus you can't see. What better form of mass control than convince people they should be afraid of their neighbors. This is exactly what the elite love: keep the public fighting amongst themselves so they ignore us, the true manipulators.

The government and the media BENEFIT from hyping everything. They are literally in the job of promoting fear because that is what gets them views, clicks, comments, and exposure, and thus, more power.

Something that happens every year, the seasonal flu, with 50-100 different coronavirus strains a year floating around the ether, was weaponized by certain individuals with certain agendas. 

And it's still happening.

Just wait for the end of July when much of the government benefits expire. 

We are going to hit a depression greater than the actual Great Depression. Millions will die... and this is the result of the reckless virtue-signaling absurdities at the hands of a few. 

And the elite will keep being the elite. The FED will keep printing fake dollars and give it to their buddies (the FED is a private bank with shareholders, btw.)

Will the individuals responsible be punished? Of course not.

There is a reason that cops so often get away with abuse of power, even murder: because they are foot soldiers for those in power. The system protects its own because it's primary incentive is to maintain its power.

The "good reason" for all of this is the virtue-signaling reason—let's protect people, how could you not care, have compassion, it’s just a mask, it’s just a couple weeks. 
The real reason is more complex, nuanced, and ultimately based on the familiar refrain, "never let a good crisis go to waste."

The only way 300+ million humans can be controlled by a small handful is through mind control. No government can physically control that many people, especially when those citizens are armed, as many in the United States are.

The word "government" means mind control—It Splits into two words: 1) (guvernare) meaning "to control" and 2) (mens or mentis) meaning "mind". (Source: Pete Tsim)

America let’s this happen because most of the 300+ million citizens get their worldview from a manipulated sources. Human psychology is so easy to manipulate. 

They did it in Mao's China, Stalin's Russia and Hitler's Nazi Germany. Marketers have been doing it for years since radio and TV, and print advertising took off.

This is why the current form of the internet—a consolidated and controlled and manipulated abomination—is the greatest threat to our species.

Our only defense is if enough individuals start voting with their dollars and with their attention. Stop giving power to platforms that censor. Stop stoking the algorithm for these politicians and celebrities. Stop letting bad ideas flourish without your own fact-checking. 

(These Big Tech monopolies are now fact-checking as if they are the ultimate harbingers of truth. LOL.)

If more individuals don't fight back, there will be nothing left to fight for.

 I wish I was exaggerating. I wish all of this was overblown. I wish it wasn't happening. And I'm sure every citizen in history beholder to tyrants wished the same thing. 

One way or another, wishing and hoping is a death sentence.

Censorship is Ruining America: Why every citizen must resist

"If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter."

-George Washington

Censorship boils my blood.

There's something about it that feels so wrong.

If you look to history, you have countless examples of how dangerous it is for a society.

The public was outraged about the potential interference in the last election. Facebook received the brunt of this backlash. Rightly so.

In 2020, YouTube and parent owner Google has been on a CENSORING tear.

I've seen countless YouTube channels removed. We are talking about years of work. One channel had a million subscribers. So now a million people don't have access to the information they want.

Another channel was removed yesterday: DAN DICKS CENSORED - The Press For Truth YouTube Channel Has Been PERMANENTLY DELETED!!!

I've watched a few of Dan's videos here and there. The guy is as uncontroversial as you can get. He's just reporting on what's going on. It's insane to me.

He's just one more case of personal political seeping into our society. These tech corporations are monopolies. The internet tends to reward winner take all situations. 

Peter Tiel, a billionaire tech investor and one of the founders of Paypal, writes about it in his book Zero to 1. He promotes investing and seeking monopolies. 

From an investor's perspective, obviously, you want to invest in mono;o goalies because that's how you get obscene returns.

But why are there monopolies laws? To encourage competition and prevent the abuse of power that comes from owning an entire sector of the economy.

At this point, this isn't about money; this is about IDEAS.

At this point, most people are getting their world views through one of these media monopolies.

Then there's the traditional media. It's all owned by a few corporations. Something like 11 dudes control all of the media.

And these platforms are being used to silence dissent and promote agenda.

These tech companies have hidden behind the "platform" argument: suggesting that they don't create the content and so they aren't responsible for it on their platform.

This means they shouldn't be censoring ANYTHING. Yet they do. This makes them a publisher. I genuinely hope they all fail. I hope they all get sued into oblivion. 

I hope we can create truly decentralized platforms that promote freedom of speech. Then let the market decide what ideas should win and fail. The market always decides.

A few employees from California should not have the power to silence speech. 

That's exactly what they are doing. Sometimes it's the algos doing it, ones written by individuals with certain political views. And other times its actual humans doing the censoring.

It's unbelievable that this is going on in broad daylight. And what is the public concerned with?

They are concerned that their neighbor is a harbinger of some bogey virus, even though we have seasonal flu every year, with 50-100 new strands mutating or coming out of the ether. 

Even though ~600k Americans die each year from heart disease—a preventable disease. 

Even though cancer claims 599k Americans a year. 

Even though 47k a year are lost to suicide (and this number has spiked in 2020 and will continue to rise as our economy crumbles).

I don't' see anyone banning soda and processed foods. I don't see people being shamed for loading up their cart at the grocery store with cancer and heart disease, causing corporate made and government-subsidized poison.

Maybe we should stand at the checkout lane and tell people what they can and cannot buy and eat. It's for the greater good, right?

You can't worship, and you can assemble, both fundamental human rights protected by our constitution. Yet you can protest as long as it's for a SPECIFIC cause.

These are literal strategies out of the tyrant's propaganda playbook.

I'm completely beyond myself that this is all going on.

Every American must:

1. Renew or get their passport

2. Buy as much gold and silver and Bitcoin as they can 

3. Stop using debt

4. Stop watching the news

5. Stop believing anything you hear or see until you research

6. Prepare your family before you are stuck 

7. Go outside, move, cook at home

Why It’s So Hard To Build Habits: The Law of Entropy and Regression To The Mean

Each of us has an average.

We work an average amount of hours. We spend an average amount of time on an average amount of things. We think an average amount of thoughts.  

On and on.

We are the result of what we typically do; they are a result of our average.

The reason for this is a principle known as regression to the mean or the idea that things tend to fall back into their typical homeostatic state.

This is why new habits are so hard to adopt, and old ones keep showing up despite our best intentions.

It's why people struggle in relationships hoping/wishing/praying their partner will change, and they never do. (Hint: change yourself rather than hoping someone else will. That is a better strategy.)

We all maintain a level of health, finances, and way of life-based on our average.

The law of entropy states that all things regress to disorder. All things break and fall apart, given enough time.

You can't do something one time and expect it to stay the same.

Works of art from the Renaissance are rigorously maintained to prevent decay. Your body must eat, sleep, and drink water, or it will break down. Astronauts must exercise 4+ hours a day to make sure their muscles don't atrophy.

On and on this goes.

Anything you want to create or maintain requires constant effort.

In some ways, this is quite depressing, and it feels hopeless. Think about it, are we destined to lives of struggle, continually juggling many balls in the air with no end in sight until we die?

In some ways, yes, we are doing precisely this.

Technology can make this a whole hell of a lot easier if we use it. So there's that.

But either way, the idea here today is one I want you to consider for the various areas of your life—your relationships, your health, your work.

Since every single thing in our life requires maintenance, you should become hyper-vigilant about what you take on in the first place.

This is where ideas like essentialism, minimalism, 80/20 Principles, and focus come into play. It's why they are all so profound for getting results and satisfaction out of life: because they are the only way you can go truly deep in the areas of your life that matter.

Each bit of your mind and body you give to something else is a bit less mind and body you can give to the things that matter to you.

Yet we do this all the time today without considering it. 

We let people monopolize our time and drone on. 

We let people mail us and call us and pop up things they want. We stay in toxic relationships and workplaces. We struggle to eke out a living and purpose in the myriad of muck we get pulled into on a daily basis.

On and on it goes, we are spread thin, and it saps our life away.

There is a better way. A simpler way. A deeper way.

It requires choosing a few select things you will focus on and building routines around these select few so that the doing becomes as effortless as possible. 

That is the key to fighting back entropy and regression to the mean. And it's the only real way you can grow anything to get profound results.

Those that accomplish big things focus. Those that hover around their average year after year are those that do too much and too shallow.

If you want results in life, if you want happiness and fulfillment, you must go deep into as few things as possible. You must ruthlessly cull the nonessential.

Become ruthless with what you let into your life. Become ruthless with how you spend your time and who you engage with. 

The best way to figure this is out is to define your values. Until you know who you are and what you value, you will never be able to do any of this.

Daily tip, idea, or quote:

“If anything ail a man,” says Thoreau, “so that he does not perform his functions, if he have a pain in his bowels even ... he forthwith sets about reforming—the world.”

Daily question to ponder:

If you woke up tomorrow with a billion dollars, what would you do?

Try to find those deep meaningful things you’d do after you got all the vacationing and trips and buying out of the way. (You’ll do that, sure, but it’ll get old fast.)

Then try to do more of the things you would do in our life today. The idea that we have to wait until some future date when we have enough money to start living is the great fallacy of our age.

Daily book recommendation:

Big Magic - Just started reading it. I like it.

Daily health tip:

Go outside with a mat or in the grass. Do some stretches or yoga poses. Get sunlight, stretch, maybe listen to an audiobook. What better combination of things for mind and body than that?

Daily cooking tip:

Get an airfare and use it.

Daily thought about money:

Ignore the market news. None of watching the news related to markets is ever going to do anything for you other than lead you to making bad decisions.

How To Think Logically: A Simple Mental Model For Getting Better Results

The Shut Up No One Cares Get Back To Work Podcast

A bite-size show covering Mindset, Productivity, and Big Ideas rooted in evergreen first Principles that will stand the test of time.

I’m your host Colin Stuckert, Founder/CEO of Wild Foods Co and TheAncestralMind.com Podcast - I’m obsessed with living the best life possible and I want to help you do the same.


I’m going to take you through a thought experiment rather than go on and on citing famous people quotes and trying to inspire you that way.

My singular goal here is to infect your mind with a way of thinking about your problems and decisions. You probably suck at thinking. Most do, so don’t feel bad.

No one teaches us how to think? Have you ever taken a “How To Think” class? Doubt it.

Humans are born without an operating manual. You are a sack of flesh and bones which amount to a small pile of stardust when picked apart, yet you have the most powerful machine the Universe has ever created sitting between your ears—the human brain.

This power is greater than most people know how to control. So they misuse it or don’t use it at all, both a waste.

The thing I want to focus on today is a first principle of the human condition. To start, we need to go back to Ancient Greece.

Let’s kick it off with a simple quote from my favorite Stoic philosopher:
It’s not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters. -Epictetus

Accepting things outside of your control is a foundational tenant of Stoicism. People need to understand and accept this idea more than ever, which is why Stoicism has surged in popularity in recent years.

This idea is the lens we’re going to use to get better at thinking logically and making better decisions in general.

The first way to immediately level up your thinking is to stop wasting time in bad thinking patterns.

What are bad thinking patterns?

Well, there are many, but they usually stem from not respecting the quote above.

Most people spend time blaming others and playing the—poor me, how could they, etc.

This thinking trap is nothing more than gunk clogging up your mind, and this keeps you from thinking logically.

Simply put: don’t think emotionally.

If you think emotionally, you aren’t thinking logically. If you are thinking logically, you aren’t thinking emotionally.

See how that works?

So the first principle of thinking logically is removing all emotion. And you do this by identifying the law of your physical reality: you can only control how you respond to things.

You can never change the past no matter how many dreams of Marty McFly you wake up to. This is why the past is the ultimate grounding tool for reality: it forces you to accept and to go inward.

And this is the first step to better thinking.

Thinking logically comes in two parts:

  1. Accept you can’t change what has come to past no matter how unfair it is

  2. So the only choice you now have is to remove all emotion from your thought process.

Now that we’ve established some ground rules for thinking better—accept things outside your control and remove emotion—we can get to the other piece of the puzzle: personal responsibility.

Extreme ownership is a book you should read. The concept is a counterintuitive way of thinking more logically. It doesn’t seem like it should help you think better, but oh does it.

You see, most people waste time in hypotheticals, what-ifs, and maybes. These are usually based on other people or random circumstances—things outside of your control.

These are huge time-wasters, and they pull your mind away from things that move the needle.

Taking extreme ownership of your situation and what you’re going to do is paramount to thinking logically. Ownership is integral to the Stoic principle of accepting things outside of your control.

So what does this taking ownership thing look like?

Well, the answer to this is person dependent, but it generally involves intense focus on yourself and what you can do.

For example, start with making lists about possible actions you can take. Pro and con lists are useful. As are feature lists and benefit lists. You could journal away and brain dump anything that comes to mind.

By focusing on yourself and taking full responsibility for thinking about your situation, you’ll uncover better ideas for thinking logically, critically, and unemotionally, and this will help you get better results in life across the board.

Let’s review:

  1. Accept the things outside yourself rather than wasting time or energy fretting over them

  2. Channel your focus into what you can control as the center of your thinking

  3. Take extreme ownership of the things in your control and reason up from there

There are other strategies for thinking logically and some situations that may be more abstract and less on your shoulders, but you can’t go wrong with building these principles into strong thinking muscles. They are, after all, first principles of life, not just thinking, and are worth the investment.

The Daily 6

Daily tip or recommendation:

You can’t think logically if you are upset. Don’t even try. Take a day or an hour and get outside to take a walk or workout.

Daily book recommendation:

Mental Models by Farnam Street - short book, highly recommended

Daily health tip:

Thinking about your health should be simple. Do not complicate it. Here are the principles to focus on: eat real food, sleep a lot, move daily and often, let go of things, be in the moment, get sunlight, have relationships, have purpose, have hobbies, care about things, stop letting negativity and junk into your mind and body. That’s pretty much it.

Daily cooking tip:

Cook at home. Just do it. If you want anything for your health, you must center it around cooking real food.

Daily thoughts about money:

Don’t think about money in a fearful state. That’s how you end up repelling money. Always know that money can always be got.

How Batching and Time Blocking Is The Key To Productivity

The Shut Up No One Cares Get Back To Work Podcast

A bite-size show covering Mindset, Productivity, and Big Ideas rooted in evergreen first Principles that will stand the test of time.

I’m your host Colin Stuckert, Founder/CEO of Wild Foods Co and TheAncestralMind.com Podcast - I’m obsessed with living the best life possible and I want to help you do the same.


Researchers have shown it can take as much as 25 minutes to get back to the same mental state you were before being interrupting.

This is one reason why task switching is so detrimental to productivity and sanity. When your brain switches between tasks or focus, there is a cost of time and mental energy to get back to the same state as before.

When you consider the fact that your best work comes from a deep, focused flow state, it’s no wonder that most people never achieve truly great work.

The key to getting into flow is a rigid deep work routine where you focus on one thing at a time and there are ZERO distractions.

The second thing you can do is batching. That’s what I’m highlighting today.

Instead of editing, publishing and promoting one podcast at a time, I like to do 5. This saves a mountain of time around getting into the “getting things done” state as well as conserves mental energy from having to think about the process involved. No matter how many times you’ve done something, there is still a mental priming your brain goes through to enter this state.

By doing multiple things together, my mind get into flow state faster for each additional item I complete because the “how to” energy is taken care of on the first or second go- round.

There is a breaking in period to getting into flow which can take as long as 30 minutes—or more if you are in a distracted or tired state. This is the problem with not batching things and trying to juggle or constantly switch between tasks. The mental energy you spend, and the time, just getting into even a shallow flow routine is a huge waste.

Your action item for today is simple:

  1. Separate your tasks into Deep Work and Shallow work.

  2. Then schedule the time each day for each work bucket.

  3. Then do one thing at a time during that time and let your mind get into execution

    mode, ideally batching multiple to dos together before moving on to something else.

I’ve written extensively about Deep Work, so read Cal’s book if you are still fuzzy on the concept. For shallow work, batching and scheduling time that’s blocked out to get as many things done that are similar or the same will save you a mountain of time and energy and will simplify many aspects of your work life.

The Daily 6

Daily tip or recommendation:

Batch your cooking. Cook a week’s meals at a time or a few days. Use an instant pot, slow cooker and your oven to cook ahead.

Daily book recommendation:

Build a reading routine. I’ll like to do fiction at night before bed and non-fiction right when I wake up to get my creative juices flowing.

Daily health tip:

10 pushups a day. I now do 20.

It’s amazing how your body responds to consistency. If you are consistent, your body will adapt.

Daily Cooking Tip

Pat your proteins super dry before searing. Liquid is the enemy of a good crust. You’ll end up steaming the sides of your proteins which gives you that ugly brown or grayish color. Always pat your proteins super dry.

Daily thoughts about money:

Think long term.
Stop trying to time the market.

I see on YouTube and often hear from friends about buying this stock or that because of what’s probably going to happen. This is a fools’ errand.

Instead think about owning a company for years on end. Buy it today then have no plans to sell it. Like ever.

That’s how you win in investing, business and life: think long term.

The more you focus the better your life will be.

Bold statement, I know, but irrefutable.

This applies to your work, relationships, learning, anything, everything.

When you focus, you get more results from the thing you focus on and more fulfillment from life in general. They are linked.

Daily health tip:

I bought a $250 treadmill from Amazon walk on it while reading in my garage. You could do this for your standing desk as well.

Daily Cooking Tip

Get a delicate flake salt, like Wild Kosher Flake Salt, and keep that on your table for finishing your meals. Generally, a few sprinkles on your plate is going to add more flavor and a bit of crunch. So use often and especially if your food is under seasoned.

Why the Word Success is Broken and How to Build An Extraordinary Life Based On Your Fundamental Human Drives

The Shut Up No One Cares Get Back To Work Podcast

A bite-size show covering Mindset, Productivity, and Big Ideas rooted in evergreen first Principles that will stand the test of time.

I’m your host Colin Stuckert, Founder/CEO of Wild Foods Co and TheAncestralMind.com Podcast - I’m obsessed with living the best life possible and I want to help you do the same.


We think success is being famous or having money or power. But is it really?

Let’s get down to the core drives for the human animal:

  • Autonomy - having control over how you spend each day

  • Purpose - spending your time contributing to something that matters outside of yourself

  • Self-actualization - being the best you can be, striving for betterment

  • Community - belonging to a group

  • Security

That’s pretty much it.

I don’t see any of these needing money or fame or success or 1,000,000 Tipton rollers to achieve.

In fact, I see the trappings of success opposing these natural human drives.

Look at any famous person or rich person or powerful person and more often than not you'll see a stressed-out individual.

Mo Money Mo Problems said the late Biggie Smalls.

I sense Biggie was someone pulled into the “rap game” begrudgingly.

I also think the same could be said of Tupac, his rival. For Tupac, I'm sure he struggled with his bad-boy gangster image and the poet/philosopher/artist that he was deep down inside. It just wasn't cool to be an artist in the hood during the 90s, especially if you were in the rap game.

Today I want to analyze the fundamental human drives and show how money, fame, and power can hinder their pursuit.

The Daily 6

Daily tip or recommendation:

Use mind maps to brainstorm.

Daily book recommendation:

Fiction - this isn’t a book, but a category recommendation. I know many Type A personalities that don’t read fiction. I always tell them they are missing out on one of the greatest self-development and success hacks there is. I bet I’ve learned more from reading fiction than non-fiction and I’ve read hundreds of non-fiction books over the years.

Daily health tip:

Daily reading practice before you go to bed. This is the perfect way to wind down and if you struggle to fall asleep, get into bed 1 hour before bedtime and read in low light, ideally orange glow, candlelight or dimmable light.

Daily Cooking Tip:

Build a routine with your family around cooking and get the entire family involved.

Daily thoughts about money:

Be scrappy. With YouTube, things like the free section on Craigslist, eBay, Amazon, you can probably repair 90% of the things you try to replace.

Pour over invoices. Challenge every charge. Always double check receipts. The amount of overcharging that goes on is insane. I guesstimate it’s multiple billions a year in money that people lose by not paying attention to their bank accounts.

The Daily 6

Daily tip or recommendation:

Try a meditation app. Calm or some others. You can also meditate in the shower, on the ground when stretching, or taking a walk. Count your breath in and out. Try to hit 30 at a time. 30 on in-breath, 30 on out-breath.

Meditation is simple as this.

Daily book recommendation:

The Art of Living by Sharon Libbel - This is based on Epictetus’ work. It’s one of the first books on Stoicism I read and I’ve gifted it over 20 times to friends and family.

Daily health tip:

Exercise - you can do 10 pushups, 10 squats and a couple of planks each day as a baseline fitness routine. If you aren’t exercising at all, you are making your body and mind fragile. You won’t live as long as you could.

Daily Cooking Tip

Do not buy foods that have ingredients you don’t recognize. If you can’t pronounce it, don’t buy it.

How To Get More Done By Doing Less (Do This One Thing Every Day)

There is a state called flow. It’s defined by intense focus on one thing.

Athletes love their sport because of the flow state—extreme athletes especially, many of which wouldn’t take the life and death risks if not for the supreme in-the-now flow state.

Buddha defined suffering as living in the past or future.

When you are intensely in the now, everything else goes away. All your fears, regrets, and pain, gone the second you enter flow.

And this is the key to getting your best work done in less time.

Find flow. Then keep finding it as much as you can in your life. Over and over.

The way to find flow in your work is simple: cultivate a two hours a day Deep Work routine.

Then protect that with every fiber of your being.

Block off your calendar. Go into airplane mode. Be tucked away in a corner where no one will find you or disturb you.

Deep Work is the foundation of all great achievement.

If you read the book Daily Rituals, you find the same themes: artists, scientists, and great thinkers all set aside time each and every day to be alone and work. (And many took long walks each day.)

Here’s a bold promise: if you cut your work day in half, then batched your work into shallow work and deep work, you would get more done in half the time.

I guarantee it. I’d bet $1000 on it.

But this doesn’t come naturally. It’s a hard thing. You have to commit and continually refine your routine to make sure you aren’t veering. And you will try to veer.

Trust me, it’s hard.

This is why time blocking out a consistent schedule you repeat every day is paramount. Deep work is best when you do it the same time each day. Your brain gets used to the routine and thus gets into the flow easier and faster.

I’ve been working for myself for 13+ years—multiple businesses, a couple successful exits, plenty of failures, and still going.

The one thing I tell anyone that’s interested in doing their own thing is this: 2 hours a day of Deep Work.

That’s it.

Few will ever do this. I don’t think anyone I’ve ever given this advice to has ever done this even ONCE. (If that isn’t a telling example of why most people never achieve their dreams then I don’t know what is.)

All you have to do is this:

  1. Go somewhere you won’t be disturbed

  2. Go into airplane mode. No distractions or notifications whatsoever.

  3. Pull up your task at hand, writing, planning, thinking, note taking, researching, whatever it

    is.

  4. Do that for 2 hours minimum (many times you will go over)

Then do it again tomorrow. And the next day.

This is the secret to getting more done in less time. It’s also the secret to success.

The Daily 6

Daily tip or recommendation:

Take walks in nature without screens or audio. There are some theories that going in nature helps revitalize your brain. I agree.

Daily book recommendation:

Deep work. I’ve now recommend this book 4 times on this show. Have you read it yet? Why not?

Daily health tip:

Take walks and listen to an audiobook or podcast. This’ll get you moving and building your mind.

Daily Cooking Tip

When you season your food, use enough salt to the point which it feels like you’ve used too much. Then you’ve probably properly seasoned. And if you over-season, good, that’s how you learn.

Daily thoughts about money:

Self-awareness.

If you want to become good with money, you must understand why you are, what you want, and the things you try to compensate for.

Explore your childhood. Your relationships. Find the mistakes you keep repeating. The trends. Then get to work improving.

That’s the sure-fire way to be better with money that no financial guru ever talks about.

Until you know yourself, you’ll spend money in ways you don’t understand for purposes you aren’t aware of.

Warren Buffet’s “Top 5” Goal System For Reaching Your Highest Goals

The Shut Up No One Cares Get Back To Work Podcast

A bite-size show covering Mindset, Productivity, and Big Ideas rooted in evergreen first Principles that will stand the test of time.

I’m your host Colin Stuckert, Founder/CEO of Wild Foods Co and TheAncestralMind.com Podcast - I’m obsessed with living the best life possible and I want to help you do the same.

Daily Big Idea

Your results come from your ability to do things that are hard. Sometimes the difficulty for you will come from your friends and family and peer group. Sometimes it will come from not understanding and being honest with yourself. Sometimes it’ll be the Universe throwing up hurdles every step of the way.

Most of the time, it’ll be all of these in one big shit sundae.

If you want to achieve anything in life, your results are going to come from the things that are hard for you.

No matter what your strengths are, you have weaknesses, and overcoming your weaknesses is where most results come from. We all default to the things that come naturally, that’s easy. It’s the things that are hard that holds most people back.

Few people charge headfirst into hard.

As this relates to goal setting, you probably struggle with one or more aspects of achieving goals.

Here are a few mistakes people make with goal setting:

  1. Not defining goals clearly, down to the penny, day, award, etc.

  2. Not reverse engineering goals —not figuring out a way to achieve goals thus making them

    nothing more than pie in the sky ideals

  3. Doing too many things, saying yes to too many things

Number 3 is what I want to highlight today.

The Warren Buffet method, which you can read about here, is simple: List out top 25 goals for your career/life.

Do it, now, then come back.

Now take the top 5 on that list of the most important to you.

Now circle the other 20.

The list of 20 is your DO NOT DO AT ALL COSTS LIST.

So each day you wake up, you focus on the TOP 5 goals. That's it. Every bit of your work and focus should be towards those only.

You could even cut this down to one or two things.

Then use the following habits to work on these goals daily:

  1. A deep work routine

  2. Protecting the first few hours of your day and focusing

  3. Saying NO to anything not applicable to your top 5

  4. A schedule/time blocking

The Daily 6

Daily Quote:

“The successful warrior is the average man, with laser-like focus.” -Bruce Lee

Daily tip or recommendation:

Habits are routines. Routines are habits. The more your habits become part of your routine, the less you think about them. You just do them. That is the productivity and time management nirvana: having your habits that make you better and move you towards your goals as part of your daily routine.

Daily book recommendation:

Awareness - I haven’t finished the book, but the first half I've read is great. This is something Tim Ferris has been recommending to a lot of people.

Daily health tip:

Simplify your routine.

Exercise: a few exercises, a few modalities, a simple weekly routine you stick to. Food: eat real food you cook at home (this will take care of 95% of your diet considerations).

Movement: take a daily walk.

Nature: get outside for that daily walk.

Sleep: get a sound machine and get in bed 9 hours before you have to wake—read for the first hour or so to unwind.

Relationships: schedule rituals like family dinner, board game night, date night. Then DO NOT SKIP.

Work: find work you care about, focus most of our energy there, say NO to all the noise around it.

That’s the template for an amazing life full of health and longevity.

Daily Cooking Tip:

Simplify your cooking: Get some Wild Pink Salt, a cast iron pan, some avocado oil or grass- fed ghee. Preheat pan. Place ingredient in pan. Turn after a few minutes. Turn again after a few minutes. Finish in oven until done or take right out of pan and serve. Taste and adjust seasoning.

Daily thoughts about money:

Simplify your money.

Have one card, one bank account, one savings account, one investment account, one “hidden” account for putting money away so you forget about it and don’t spend it.

“The oldest, shortest words – ‘yes’ and ‘no’ – are those which require the most thought.” -Pythagoras

The Shut Up No One Cares Get Back To Work Podcast

A bite-size show covering Mindset, Productivity, and Big Ideas rooted in evergreen first Principles that will stand the test of time.

I’m your host Colin Stuckert, Founder/CEO of Wild Foods Co and TheAncestralMind.com Podcast - I’m obsessed with living the best life possible and I want to help you do the same.

“The oldest, shortest words – ‘yes’ and ‘no’ – are those which require the most thought.” -Pythagoras

“Focusing is about saying no.” -Steve Jobs

The paradox of success is this: the more success you achieve the more opportunistic come your way and pull you away from what made you successful in the first place.

The more experience you get, the more you can do.
As your skills increase, your ability to take on more increases.

Maybe you said yes in the beginning. Great, that’s probably how you stumbled upon success in the first place. And if you’re still young with few obligations, say yes to everything. Get experience, try and fail, learn new skills, fuck shit up. It’s going to happen anyways, so embrace it.

Then, as you get results, you flip the script: say no most of time and yes hardly ever.

As you evolve, the relationships between how often you say “yes” and the cost of life you pay increases.

It’s kinda like being a kid and growing into an adult with responsibilities, family, and work.

When you’re young, you have unlimited time and energy.

As age and responsibility creep, you have limited time and energy.

Success is the same except it tricks us: we become more effective and it tricks us into believing we can do more. So we do more. We start more. We plan more.

And it all comes at a cost in the form of mental sanity, physical health, relationships, happiness.

The more you take on, the more cost you pay.

As Thoreau said, “The cost of a thing is the amount of what I will call life which is required to be exchanged for it, immediately or in the long run.”

Success is actually a trap for most. It is very hard to strike a balance. Few do it.

Look at someone like Jobs and you see he executed NO beautiful with his return to Apple, but failed with his family and health.

Elon Musk is an example of what not to do. He’s awesome and we need people like him, but few will be able to do what he’s done and most people should never try.

We can all strive for, and achieve, a simple life that includes deep relationships, optimal health, and meaningful work.

I believe this is attainable by everyone, but still, few will achieve it.

The best chance you have is NO.

Today’s world is defined by limitless option.

The winners today say NO to most things so they can focus. That’s where results come from now more than ever: focus.

This applies to mental health, physical health, relationship health, work health, everything since your results come from doing a few things well rather than a lot of things poorly.

Say NO to most things and spend the limited time and energy you have on the few YESes... that’s how you can build a wonderful life and be as successful as you want at the same time.

The Daily 6

Daily tip or recommendation:

Self-awareness. This is a muddy topic with a lot to explore. So I want you to start thinking about it. Here are a few strategies for getting better at honing your awareness muscle.

1. Ask yourself hard questions and truthfully answer. And when you are lying to yourself it feel good, call yourself out. (If this was all you did, you’d become miles ahead of most people.)
2. Read up on psychology, biology and evolutionary biology. The more you understand about the human animal, the better you’ll catch those tendencies you have that keep you unaware.

Daily book recommendation:

Choose yourself by James Alturcher. Simple book with a very important concept. If you aren’t choosing yourself, who is choosing for you?

Daily health tip:

Board game night. Or family dinner.

Do something that is a ritual with your friends and family. The more you can adopt these the better your life will be in every measurable way. This is, unfortunately, a dying trend with our species.

Daily Cooking Tip

Get your cooking fats down. I use avocado oil and grass-fed ghee for high heat searing. Use coconut oil for backing and lard. Use MCT oil for coffee, tea, smoothies and low heat cooking like scrambled eggs. Use tallow for all medium heat cooking.

Daily thoughts about money:

If you want to invest without the hassle, consider something like Wealthfront or just buy a vanguard index fund that tracks the S&P 500. Don’t worry about picking individual stocks or paying attention to the market. Just set it and forget it. And stow away as much as you can every month. This is an easy path to wealth for anyone. You just have to commit to it. A good book to read on the topic is The Richest Man in Babylon.

How To Live Now: The Power of Each Moment You Are Probably Ignoring

Daily Thought and quote

“If you are depressed, you are living in the past, if you are anxious, you are living in the future, if you are at peace, you are living in the present.” -Lao Tzu

Your life is lived a second at a time. You never reach the future and you never go back to the past.

The second, right now, is all you ever have.
This second. Now this one. Now This one.
How you spend your seconds is how you spend your life.
Every second of the day is a choice.
How will you spend it?

Daily tip or recommendation:
Intermittent fasting. Use it. It is life-changing. It is based on your human biology.

The most common misconception of intermittent fasting is it is calorie restriction. But it’s not. Regular fasting could be considered calorie restriction since you likely go a day or more without food.

But intermittent fasting is based on meal timing: when you eat your calories, not how much you eat.

If you eat 2000 calories a day, you can get those calories within an 8 hour window or you can eat those calories spaced our throughout your entire day. When you keep them within an 8 hour window, the time between “feedings” is where you get the fasting benefit. So an 8-hour window results in a 16-hour fast from day to day.

And that is intermittent fasting.

Daily book recommendation:

The Tipping Point by Malcom Gladwell

All of his books are so well written that you breeze through them. Great writing doesn’t feel like reading. It’s like watching a movie in your head.

Daily health tip:

Find something you need to do and do it outside. You’ll get vitamin D, you’ll get something done, and you’ll be outside soaking up nature.

Daily Cooking Tip

Get one good sharp knife. Then consider an automatic knife sharpener or at least a honing steel rod. A little bit of care and maintenance will keep your knife sharp. And a sharp knife is a must for respecting ingredients.

Daily thoughts about money:

Track your spending for a month. If you don’t know what you’re spending, how can you possibly know whether you are in the red or black each month? You can’t.

How To Be A Leader: Stop People Pleasing and Be Who You Are

The Escaping Fragility Podcast (Previously the ShutUp show)

A bite-size show covering Mindset, Productivity, and Big Ideas rooted in evergreen first Principles that will stand the test of time.

I’m your host Colin Stuckert, Founder/CEO of Wild Foods Co and TheAncestralMind.com Podcast - I’m obsessed with living the best life possible and I want to help you do the same.

How To Be A Leader: Stop People Pleasing and Be Who You Are

“We've got to stop pandering and start leading.” -Victor Mitchell

We all need to become leaders.

We can lead our communities, our families, even in parts of our relationships.

Don’t mistake leader for dictator.

I’m not suggesting you tell people what to do or scold them every chance you get in the name of leading them.

No, what we need from leaders are two simple things.

We need leaders to stop people-pleasing and we need leaders to develop their own ideas and be willing to share them.

More than anything, be willing to disagree without being dogmatic.

A few traits of a successful leader include the willingness to say I don’t know, to have a lack of opinion rather than knowing everything. To empower people to question, challenge, and debate without the hostility and us vs them that usually comes with it.

For you, you can lead by becoming confident in who you are. Really, that’s it.

Instead of saying things that you think are “accepted,” state what you really think. If you haven’t spent time considering it, be willing to shrug your shoulders and say, “I don’t know... I haven’t thought about it much.”

This itself is leadership. It’s showing people that it’s OK to not have opinions on everything.

Today everyone expects everyone to stand on this side or that. But that’s a fools’ errand, and it’s the core reason so much of our society has become fractured and our politician system inefficient.

Relationships die because partners do and say what they think their partners want them to do any say. So they stifle what they really want to do and say.

Businesses die because no one challenges the CEO.

Countries die when you make enemies of your own countrymen.

We need more people committing to one side less, shrugging their shoulders more, and showing others its OK to discuss, disagree, and be OK with doing so.

It starts with the individual, you.

The more you question the world you live in, the more humbled you’ll become. This will translate into a step back from too strong convictions and all the trappings that come with it. Encourage others to do the same.

And when you really believe something because you’ve considered it, be willing to say that as well. Show people that you will be resolute when needed. You’ll get more respect by being flexible on other things.

We need more leaders and fewer pundits, idols, and talking head politicians.

The Daily 6

Daily quote:

We've got to stop pandering and start leading.

Victor Mitchell

Daily tip or recommendation:

Meditation doesn’t have to be an elaborate thing. Take 60 seconds to stare off and think about nothing. Let your thoughts float on by. In the shower is great. You can count your breath. The way I do it is this: count 1 in and 1 out with each breath, then 2, then 3. I try to visualize the number going from small to large then large to small in my mind. Try one minute today. This is a small practice that can have big effects.

Daily book recommendation:
The Boron Letters - by Gary Halbert.

Gary is my favorite copywriter of all time. Some day he is the best. These are letters he wrote his son about life and writing when he was at Boron prison camp for mail fraud (apparently someone broke into his house and stole a bunch of unopened mail and then cashed the checks or took the cash and left no record. So Gary was unable to fulfill those orders and complaints filed in.).

Either way, Gary was a genius marketer. If you are remotely interested in writing or marketing, read this book. Another free resource is TheGaryHalbetLetter.com - amazing.

Daily health tip:

Epsom salt soak at night + take ZMA or a solid magnesium product. IF you struggle with sleep at all, make this your routine.

Daily Cooking Tip:

Preheat your pan... way more than you think. A hot pan, some oil, then a dried ingredient is the key to a good sear.

Daily thoughts about money:

Stowaway money in places you will forget then set reminders once a year, or never if you know you’ll eventually find it. Online savings accounts are great. Or cash somewhere in your closet works.

When it is out of sight, you won’t have the same mental energy assigned to trying to spend it. This is a real thing. Like a nagging to-do item that you want to finish, money “burns a hole in your pocket” the same way. So remove it from your brain and forget about it. That’s one of the keys to saving if you struggle to save.

The Daily 6

Daily tip or recommendation:

2 hours a day. That’s it. If you can build two hours a day of focused, AIRPLANE mode work to do one thing at a time, you’ll change your life.

I say “change your life” often because most of the ideas I like to talk about our BIG ideas based on First Principles. And a 2-hour deep work routine is a cornerstone of being successful in life. Period. No exceptions.

Read Cal Newport’s book Deep Work on the topic. But more importantly, start today. Protect 2 hours a day, every day, and watch your life change for the better.

Tips include noise-canceling headphones, airplane mode, finding where you will do the work, then protecting that time on your calendar, and from friends and family at all costs.

Daily book recommendation:

Deep Work by Cal Newport.

Daily health tip:

Deep Work. Yup, this is also a health tip.

When I get more deep work in, I feel better. My mood is better. When I miss my deep work routine or half-ass it, I’m stressed and anxious.

Daily Cooking Tip

Cook 2 pounds of ground beef in some butter and use a ton of salt and seasonings. Then eat then store the rest in the fridge for later. Finally, when you reheat your ground beef, use a hot pan and some more fat to cook it down a bit more. This will build flavor and it is the secret to reheating leftovers, especially ground beef.

Daily thoughts about money:

Setup auto-investments that debit once a month. Then don’t touch those accounts. Don’t look at them more than a couple of times a year, if that. You want to “set it and forget it.”

The power comes from forgetting about an investment then realizing you have $10,000 stored away. (This happened to me recently, and it’s a cool feeling.)
