Chris Sauve: The habits of highly boring people
Sauve makes an interesting point: most of the really exciting people in life are also the most boring. We often think of the two as opposites but really, when done right, boring people are exciting because they are boring in the structured parts of their lives so they could be exciting in the unstructured parts. Sauve suggests:
- Write everything down. This will free up your memory and let you work on a vast variety of things while not losing track of them. This includes using a calendar or agenda for everything. Calendars are amazing at remembering everything that you need to do and when you need to do it. And, you probably carry one in your pocket with you everywhere. It is called your phone. For that matter, you can have a fantastic note app too*.
- Simplify wherever you can. This helps reduce decision fatigue and avoid decision paralysis.
- Remember to review your tasks. What was really valuable and useful last year or month may not be so today. It is easy to just keep doing the same things every day and this is generally good but those things should reviewed from time to time to make sure those things are still relevant.
Chris Sauve: The habits of highly boring people
*What kind of note taking do you you use Daniel? Great question. I use Microsoft’s OneNote for three reasons:
- It is free.
- It syncs everywhere. A note I write on my phone is nearly instantly available on my phone, my non-phones, my computers and the web. This is really amazing because I can easily switch between whichever device is most convenient for the note taking task at hand.
- It is multimedia enabled. I can sync text notes, images and probably videos (I have never tried). I can carry around my favorite recipes, essays and a small art gallery.

Tai Lopez: The law of 33%
Lopez suggests that we should split our social time in thirds with people who are: less developed than us (so we can mentor them), on par with us (so we can have people to play with) and those who are much, much better than us (so they can guide us to where we want to be).
