What if the next level of your life requires less, not more?
Less stuff.
Fewer projects.
Fewer distractions.
And…
?? More people.
? More health.
? More focus.
? More energy for the things that actually matter.
My friend Rich Robinson joins me from Bali while I’m sitting in the Netherlands surrounded by boxes, getting ready to move out of our home — and still recovering from Tony Robbins’ Unleash the Power Within.
Which turns out to be the perfect time for this conversation.
Because I’ve realized something about myself:
I can happily work on 14 different things at 80%.
That’s practically my superpower. ?
But what happens if I choose three?
What happens if I give those three things 110%?
Rich and I get into the idea of fewer, better things — not only projects, but possessions, experiences, habits and priorities.
We talk about:
?? Why human connection has become increasingly important to me
? Getting rid of stuff when almost ALL of it “sparks joy”
? Why true focus means saying no to things you actually want
? Turning exercise from something you do into part of who you are
? Cardio, strength and mobility as we get older
? Why Rich considers sleep the foundation of everything
? Goals vs. systems vs. identity
? The ridiculously small health habits you can do almost anywhere
? Tony Robbins’ idea of the “2 millimeters” between excellent and outstanding
? Pepper, moving houses and navigating big transitions
? And one of my favorite reminders from the weekend:
Progress is happiness.
There’s another idea underneath this whole conversation, though.
Rich and I wouldn’t be having it if I hadn’t gone to Bali and spent time with him in person.
That visit changed how seriously I took my health.
Not because I read something.
Not because I watched a video.
Because another human being got through to me.
That’s worth remembering in a world where increasingly we can do almost everything from behind a screen.
Maybe the answer isn’t more information.
Maybe it’s:
LESS STUFF.?MORE PEOPLE.
