3-2-1: On Media Consumption, Needless Commitments, and Persistence and Luck | James Clear

This quote from Henry David Thoreau , the American poet and author, pairs nicely with my third idea above:

“The cost of a thing is the amount of ... life which is required to be exchanged for it, immediately or in the long run.”

“Needless commitments are more wasteful than needless possessions. Possessions can be ignored, but commitments are a recurring debt that must be paid for with your time and attention.”

“Your current habits are perfectly designed to deliver your current results.”

Choose better inputs. Get better outputs.”

“Your actions are a consequence of your thoughts.

Your thoughts are a consequence of what you consume.

And in the modern age, what you consume is largely a consequence of how you select and refine your social media feed.

Choose better inputs. Get better outputs.”
