When your world catches fire, do this


You cannot help it.

You pay yourself last.

You are the last monkey in the queue.

​

Don’t believe it?

​

Well… let’s check.

​

You have your day planned out.

You're going to be strict and responsible.

You’re going to do what you're supposed to do and not get sidetracked.
You’re going to wake up early.

You’re going to have a proper breakfast, hit the gym, work without allowing interruptions.

You’re going to leave at a certain time, and come home without looking at your phone until the next day, but...

​
But… oh.
You get up.

You check your phone.

3 unexpected emails, 5 notifications…

​

The message from your boss, or a client.

A new presentation to be delivered tomorrow.

The guy that was going to help you is sick.

The other lady you were expecting to review her job didn’t have the time to delivered it.

​
And then…

You cancel the gym.

Start working from home with just a sip of coffee and leave two hours late.

Work, work and work and cling to your phone until bedtime, which, of course, is three hours later than it should be.

​

You tell yourself silly things like you'll sleep tomorrow or that you need some time to unwind…

​
Did you get it?

​

Your discipline is weaker than the ideals of a politicians in front of their donners.

​
Your discipline is, as for most people, an illusion.

​

Just a small piece of advice that you didn’t ask for.

​

Next time that someone call you with something urgent use one of these two techniques:

  1. You ignore it
  2. Ask someone to pick up the phone for you and pronounce these words: He can’t come to the phone right now... he’s working.

​

That’s your statement of intent.

​

And if you think that your boss or your client will fire you… you’re wrong. Nothing that send more authority to and calm more the other than knowing that you are busy and working hard.

​

So, next time that your world catches fire, remember: you can’t come right now.

Every day you can see examples. Our society is clearly weaker and weaker by the day. You browse around a little, and you see a post with hundreds of likes. I stop, curious. And what do I see? The dopamine injection of feel-goodism that dulls us all. See below: The true luxuries of life are: Slow mornings with coffee, staring at nothing. A good night's sleep. A fit body. Peace of mind. Living in the present moment. The freedom to choose what you want to do. Being surrounded by people you love....

Many of us see our parents putting on weight. When you have 20 or 30 kg of fat on your body and you don’t maintain good muscle mass, it’s difficult to climb stairs, get on the ground and stand up without help, or even walk. Can you imagine 20 kg less fat and 5 kg more muscle? Fitter parents and grandparents. Fewer medications. Fewer side effects. More trips. More vitality. It’s hard to change habits that have been ingrained for many years. But there are some highly effective levers that can...

Imagine a country like this: A total of 48 million inhabitants. 7.2 million under 16 years old. Therefore, they do not work. Among retirees, pensioners, the disabled, students, housewives, unemployed... there are 16.7 million who also do not work. That leaves us with 24 million people available to work (half of the country). Of those 24 million, 3.6 million are employed by the state, regions, municipalities, whatever. The rest are self-employed and salaried workers. Specifically: • 3.2...
