031 cliff notes from Tim Ferriss show podcast, Choice Minimal Lifestyle

Why more is less:

Paradox of choice
The more options you'll consider, the more buyer's regret you'll have
The more options you'll encounter the less fulfilling your outcome will be
Income is renewable, but attention is not renewable

The art of letting bad things happen, article by Tim
Attention defines value of time, time has no practical value without attention
Considering options costs attention that can't be spent on present state awareness, considering options pulls you out of present state
Attention is necessary not only for productivity but also for appreciation
Too many choices equals less or no appreciation and sense of overwhelm

Limiting options brings clarity to mind
Set rules for yourself so you can automate as many choices as you can
Do not think about decisions until you actually can make them
Do not postpone decisions just to avoid uncomfortable decisions
Make nonfatal/reversible decisions
Set time limits for decision making, limit number of options, set financial thresholds
You have limited decision making capability, Google decision fatigue article
Do not strive for variation/increased options, routine causes innovation, embrace routine

Read daily rituals book
Regret is past tense decision making
Follow 1 month no regret making challenge

Embrace minimal choice lifestyle

If you want to travel, then do not put it off...you may not have this opportunity later

It is a lot safer & cheaper than you think

Money is great metric for success but is not the only metric for success, it is a tool for you

Through success we lose perspective on good life

Redefine your relationship with success

Success - being able to do whatever you want, wherever you want

Billionaires can’t take a week off, only 1-2 days, what is the point of having those billions then?

Things in excess become their opposite

Often it is not money but mindset that is standing as barrier on your way

If your learning leads to knowledge, then you are fool

If your learning leads to action, then you are smart

1st find fulfillment in your activities & goals, then make effort to reach your goals

Our brain is a 2 million years old software that is designed to help you survive, not be happy

Suffering comes from expectations, loss, less & never

Trade your expectations to appreciations & your life will change

you tell your own stories to yourself through your expectations

Expectations make us suffer

Appreciations make us fulfilled

Life is too short to suffer

our survival mechanism brain is always looking for something that is wrong
