Dear friend,<\/p>\n

Never forget your life is limited. And there is no charger for life.<\/p>\n

I usually don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t to coffee shops with a charger. Why? A simple reminder that my battery is limited. Not to waste my charge on pointless shit.<\/p>\n

I leave my chargers at home, and let myself feel the panic of having a low 5% battery charge. That anxiety gives me focus, to work only on important shit.<\/p>\n

What\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s important in my life?<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Cindy (my wife)<\/li>\n
  2. My creative work <\/li>\n
  3. My family & friends<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Nothing else.<\/p>\n

    Anything that is not those three, I consider a distraction. Or weed. And like a good gardener, I try to keep my garden prim and proper. I cut out the weeds.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Three.<\/h2>\n

    A fun experiment, try to go a day without bringing your chargers with you.<\/p>\n

    How would you live differently?<\/p>\n

    Your life, like your phone battery is limited.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    What if your life was only at 5% charge<\/a>? What you not<\/em> waste your life on?<\/p>\n

    BE STRONG,
    \nERIC<\/p>\n
