Simple formulas for a good life (simple, but not easy).

Getting rich
• Spend less than you earn. Wealth is built by saving more than you spend and investing the difference.
• Invest early & consistently. Small, regular investments compound into massive wealth over time.
• Avoid bad debt. High-interest debt works against you—pay it off fast and focus on assets.

Being Healthy
• Burn more than you eat. Weight loss comes down to a simple calorie deficit.
• Exercise + good food = longevity. You need both for long-term health—one alone isn’t enough.
• Prioritize sleep. 7–8 hours a night improves mood, focus, and physical health.

Relationships
• Trust + honesty = strong bonds. Without them, relationships crumble.
• Listen more than you speak. Understanding comes from truly hearing others.
• Quality > quantity. A few deep relationships bring more happiness than many shallow ones.

Personal Growth
• Effort > talent. Hard work beats raw talent when talent doesn’t work hard.
• 1% better daily = massive growth. Small, consistent improvements lead to big results.
• Discomfort = growth. Growth happens outside your comfort zone—lean into challenges.
• Self-discipline = freedom. Control your habits, and you’ll control your life.

Productivity
• Focus on the vital few. The 80/20 rule: most results come from a few key efforts.
• Do one thing at a time. Multitasking reduces quality—focus wins.
• Plan your work, work your plan. A clear plan saves time and effort.
• Tackle the hardest task first. “Go ugly early” to gain momentum.

These are all simple, but not easy. Deploying these formulas in your own life will require effort and perseverance.

I agree with all of this except that “weight loss come down to a simple calorie deficit”. Gary Taubes debunks this pretty convincingly in Good Calories, Bad Calories - worth a read

Many truth bombs here. I particularly like: 'Effort > talent. Hard work beats raw talent when talent doesn’t work hard.' Many of my colleagues are more talented than myself but because I work harder ultimately I've been more successful.

I got into Bitcoin in 2019. I've been orange pilling since 2020. Every single person NOW tells me, "I missed it." I immediately grab their phone, download River, and show them how to buy 10 dollars of Bitcoin a week. "Small regular investments compound into massive wealth over time." American ...

Calorie in and calorie out is only applicable in closed systems. We are not a closed system. You might want to look into Jack Kruse and what he can share about decentralized health. You may become a sun worshipping mitochondriac like me now. 😂

I'll add to the others about calories: eat a calorie deficit of cereal-based crap and you still get horribly out of shape, eat as much as you physically can of meat eggs butter fish and you will get lean even if you are a couch potato.

Dude I could have written this. Absolutely agreeing to this. Exactly this! Only thing I’d add: ask more questions. There is so much to learn from others and it’s often just one question away.

Tangent to the content, “simple, but not easy” reminded me of Einstein’s quote, “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.”

the Being Healthy section is the most important. I might actually look into that some more. I would've made more posts about if if Amethyst didn't use so much data to fetch Nostr messages...

Great! I'd say Save in Bitcoin early & constantly rather than “invest” though.
