I recently came across data on who we spend our time with over the course of our lives. The insights are simultaneously inspiring and depressing. Here are 6 graphs everyone needs to see:

A more generalized way to phrase my 3 non-negotiables: 1. Challenge the Body 2. Challenge the Mind 3. Challenge the Soul I think this framing would probably capture most (if not all) of what we should be aiming for daily.

Mindfulness is a great addition to this list. I’ve found that some of my most centered, present moments come while I am moving my body, typically on a walk. Walking meditation is a wonderful thing.

When you make your list, try to limit it to 3 items. If it gets longer than that, it just becomes any other list. This is your absolute non-negotiable list—the absolute pared-down essentials that drive your life engine.

3. Express gratitude Through words or actions. I try to express gratitude through my actions. Being present with my wife and son—to show them how grateful I am for having them in my life. I also have a practice of writing one tiny point of gratitude in my journal each evening.

2. Work on something meaningful The feeling of going into deep flow on something you care about is unmatched. When you find that something, you’ll be excited to push on it daily. It creates energy in your life.

1. Move my body Daily physical exertion powers everything. It improves mood, bodily function, circadian rhythm, metabolism, digestion, and more. If I’m able to do it outside, that’s even better. Sunlight and fresh air improve every area of life.

One simple rule that helped declutter my Digital Environment: The 1-Week Rule I close all of my browser tabs every Sunday evening no matter what. Anything that was still there and untouched clearly wasn’t important to me, and it avoids the 500 tabs open that stresses me out.

The logic here is simple: You are a product of your environment. An environment comprised of necessary energy creators will compound positively in your life. An environment cluttered with unnecessary energy drainers will compound negatively in your life. Your choice!

If running a full Simplicity Audit on all four environments is too intimidating, just pick one environment and start. You can even narrow it down further and pick a sub-environment. A few common problem areas: - Desk - Phone - Computer Simplify one and your life will improve.

The other benefit of the Simplicity Audit is awareness of the creeping complexity in your life. If you do it quarterly, you’ll slowly build the muscle to recognize when complexity is entering your life where it shouldn’t be.

Recapping the Simplicity Audit: Examine 4 environments of your life: • Physical • Digital • Mental • Social For each item, ask two questions: 1. Is this necessary? 2. Is this energy creating? Outcomes: • No to both—Remove! • Yes to both—Keep! • Yes to one—Think!

Mental Environment Includes all of the items that are regularly on your mind: • Work • Finances • Household • Wellness Every item in your Mental Environment requires energy to maintain. How can I make this easier? Automate or delegate when possible to reclaim headspace.

Physical Environment Includes all of the physical items in your life: • Clothes • Material goods • Misc "stuff" Most people accumulate and never remove from this environment. Consider each item. Use the Simplicity Audit to reset, then use the 1-In-1-Out Rule to stay there.

There are three potential outcomes: 1. "No" to both—Remove! 2. "Yes" to both—Keep! 3. "Yes" to one—Think! The item is either necessary or creating energy in your life. How necessary is it? How much energy is it creating? Think on it to decide. The 4 environments to examine:

Complexity is a silent killer of focus, clarity, and performance. This is true for businesses, but even more so for your work and life. It's easy to let complexity slowly seep in—we tend to add, but rarely subtract. To fight back, you need to conduct a Simplicity Audit:

Today was 25 reps. Sets were as follows: - Pull-ups: 10,8,4,3 - Lunges: 10,8,7 - Push-ups: 10,8,7 Total time to complete: 4:20 Reminder that workouts don’t have to be long. Short and efficient is better than nothing. Anything above 0 compounds.
