A concept I have, which pertains to finances<\/a>, and life in general: have extreme buffer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, if you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re about to miss an exit on the freeway, allow yourself to extreme buffer to just miss it. Better to lose a minute of your life, than lose your life in one minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or when it comes to your finances and bank account, better to have extreme financial buffer, then cut it too close to line. The way I think about it is live your life like you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re a billionaire<\/a>, but like you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re a spartan 300<\/a> soldier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Extreme buffer when it comes to fitness \u00e2\u20ac\u201d don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t work out when you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re tired or exhausted. The point of working out is to discharge your strength, rather than to further exhaust yourself when you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re already exhausted. Also when it comes to powerlifting<\/a>, allow yourself the maximum amount of time buffer when it comes to attempting a maximum lift. I find that attempting a one rep max<\/a> once a week seems optimal. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m also sure it wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t hurt if you just attempted a one rep max every two weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get to the airport really early<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another thing I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve also learned about myself is that I actually really like airports<\/a>. Thus, when in doubt, get to the airport far earlier than you need to, then getting there right on time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If possible, never schedule anything<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the really interesting things I learned about Arnold Schwarzenegger was that he never scheduled any meetings to do in advance. If you wanted a meeting with him, you literally had to contact him on the day of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is this a good idea? It allows for extreme buffer in your day and time. Because the reality of real life is chaotic, and in order to plan better, you actually need to afford yourself more buffer. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

More effort, more recovery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The notion of buffer could also be applied to sleep and recovery. More virtuous to sleep 12 hours a night, then trying to optimize yourself to sleep as little as possible. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
