Learnings from The Tim Ferriss Show podcast

This is consistently one of the highest ranked podcasts and for good reason. Tim is an excellent interviewer and he has amazing guests. Below are some takeaways I've had from a selection of episodes.

Jerry Seinfeld

Writing system

Set a total time for your writing session. Set an alarm. Reward when it finishes.?Would you be happy with a training session that had no fixed end time?!

Can write or do nothing. No other options. Max 1 hour sessions. Have a set problem you are going to work on in that session.?

Learn to accept your mediocrity.?

Treat yourself like a toddler when writing (enthusiasm and encourage) and the other half of the time when editing be a hard arsed navy seal instructor type editor.?

Jim Collins

Trust people as the opening bit. But protect yourself from catastrophic risk/loss.?

Relationships are key to success - trust is the basis of good relationships.?

Cash is king. You don’t pay bills with earnings.?

Have fun! Live a great life.?

Help others succeed.?

On one hand unwavering faith that you’ll succeed needs balancing with the brutal facts in the other hand. Stockdale paradox.?

8am start means 8:00:00 not 8:00:04

Beginning of every year

  • Top 3 things to get done (if more than 3 then you don’t have any priorities)
  • Top 3 things to stop doing?
  • Top 3 supporting objectives (to support top 3)
  • Top 3 fun activities etc etc?

Grade yourself at the end of the year.?

What is today? Based on the above.?

Never draft an important email or text in the app. Use notes to draft. Do I really need to press send?!

If I only had 10 years left to live what would I stop doing?

Mary Karr

“The solution to fear is curiosity and presence. I can’t be terrified and curious at the same time.”

Random show
