The Art & Science of Life Design:
1. Identify what gives life meaning to you
2. Translate it into life aspirations
3. Align weekly actions to consistently move toward the aspirations
4. Prioritize ruthlessly
5. Review regularly to verify alignment & course correct

Don't try to go through life constantly at the same speed.
Constantly too fast → excessive stress & burnout
Constantly too slow → little progress

Multitasking is not a thing, nobody multitasks.

Sometimes you just have to go into Beast Mode to complete a particularly high priority project and let everything else fall apart for a few days or a week or two, then resurface and clean up the mess.
