LifeStyle Tip
Decide your "no's" in advance
Follow Tim Ferris's advice and use the 80/20 rule to figure out which types of activities in your work life just aren't worth the time you put in. This might be meeting people for lunch, attending long conferences requiring plane travel and overnight stays, or taking extra projects on weekends. Whatever your low-value activities are, make a rule up front to say "no" instead of deciding on a case-by-case basis. If you can rule out entire classes of relatively unproductive business activities like this, you'll leave more room for your personal life and boost your professional effectiveness at the same time.

LifeStyle Tips
A distinctive, learning-filled life results from a succession of small, specific choices made each day. There's a world of difference between imagining such a fulfilling life and actually living it. It is through taking new actions that we learn to awaken and apply our hidden capacity. If you know by doing, there is no gap between what you know and what you do.
~ an excerpt for "The Other 90%" by Robert K. Cooper

Deadlift

"The last three or four reps is what makes the muscle grow. This area of pain divides the champion from someone else who is not a champion. That's what most people lack, having the guts to go on and just say they'll go through the pain no matter what happens."
~ Arnold Schwarznegger
