Unlocking Greatness With Charlie Harary

On today’s episode, Charlie starts putting everything we’ve talked about in the Mind Hacks Series together. Remember the example of radishes and cookies? We learned about ego depletion, how we only have a certain amount of discipline.  If we use up our discipline on insignificant things, we’re out of discipline early in the day.  For instance, this is why Steve Jobs wears the same thing every day. Jeff Bazos is uninvolved in the small problems and decisions at Amazon because he’s busy with the big direction for the company. Big people don’t get stuck in small problems.  Ask yourself if the moments of your life are worth the amount of discipline you’re giving them. Your discipline needs to go to your new ritual. That ritual needs to be repeated over and over to get wired in. So this is where we want to use our discipline muscle, because you know at some point that ritual will stick in your brain and require less discipline, so the return you get on your discipline investment is so worth it.
