Kevin Wammer on what he calls his life framework:

A collection of rules, thoughts, and ideas I try to live by. I’m posting them here as a reminder to myself, not for you to copy, though you’re welcome to steal a few and make them your own. They might not apply to you at all, but publishing them forced me to sit down and shape them. Otherwise, they’d still be gathering dust in my notes app.

Some of my favorites:

• Curate your inputs. Cut the noise. Cut the hatred.
• Make weird shit.
• Eat whole foods. Not everything needs to be “clean”, but your grandmother should recognize it.
• Be useful. Be kind. Be decent. Don’t be an ass.

The whole list is great, it’s worth checking out. A lot of these self improvement books, articles, podcasts, etc. are all the same basic ideas repeated and remixed over and over. Once you’ve seen it in one form, you’ve seen it all.

Still, it’s a good reminder that all this really isn’t that hard.
