I have no time for short-term things: dinners with people I won’t see again, tedious ceremonies to please tedious people, traveling to places that I wouldn’t go to on vacation.

If they pay you what you’re worth, then you can get your time back, and if you get your time back, then you can be hyperefficient

What you want to do in life is, you want to be in control of your time, so you want to get into a leveraged job, and then you want to get into one where you control your own time and you’re tracked on the outputs.

I think it’s really worth – whenever you can in life, if you have the choice – optimizing for independence rather than optimizing for pay.

My only schedule is my daily morning workout, and even that I’m not perfect on it, but other than that I try to be as unscheduled as possible because I want to be free.

Schedules are so overrated. I wish I could have a completely unscheduled life; that would be something nice to shoot for.

Ruminating on the past is largely a waste of time. It’s illusory.

You literally have to free up your time because the world will assault you with its own agendas. You have to say no to everything and free up your time so you can solve the important problems.

Say no to more things to protect your time because it’s very precious. On your dying day, you will give everything you have for another day.

I think most of life is about searching, it’s not about doing. People spend too much time doing and not enough time thinking about what they should be doing.

I was very selfish with my time and I probably had the most productive year of my life.

We spend so much time in relationships. The average relationship probably lasts a couple years. We spend very little time deciding which relationship to get into. We spend so much time in a job, but we spend so little time deciding which job to get into. Choosing what city to live in can almost completely determine the trajectory of your life, but we spend so little time trying to figure out what city to live in.

I learned how to make money because it was a necessity. After it stopped being a necessity, I stopped caring about it.

You retire by saving up enough money, becoming a monk, or by finding work that feels like play to you.

Set and enforce an aspirational hourly rate. If fixing a problem will save less than your rate, ignore it. If outsourcing a task will cost less than your rate, outsource it. Get comfortable disappointing people whose expectations will eat your life up, one hour at a time.

In almost any salaried job, even at one that’s paying a lot per hour like a lawyer, or a doctor, you’re still putting in the hours, and every hour you get paid. So, what that means is when you’re sleeping, you’re not earning. When you’re retired, you’re not earning. When you’re on vacation, you’re not earning. And you can’t earn non-linearly.

Specific knowledge can be taught through apprenticeships or self-taught. It’s high paying because society has not yet figured out how to teach or automate it. It tends to be creative or technical.

Arm yourself with specific knowledge, accountability, and leverage. Specific knowledge is knowledge that you cannot be trained for. If society can train you, it can train someone else, and replace you.
