Riffing off a quote in last week’s newsletter,
Make any behaviour you want to encourage easier to do, and any behaviour you want to discourage harder to do.
How to Be Unhappy:
- stay inside all day
- move as little as possible
- spend more than you earn
- take yourself (and life) too seriously
- look for reasons why things won’t work
- always consume, never contribute
- resent the lucky and successful
- never say hello first
- be unreliable
Invert for happiness:
- get outside each day
- move: walk, exercise, dance
- spend less than you earn
- view life as play
- be the one who looks for solutions
- develop a bias to contribute and create
- learn from the lucky and successful
- be the first to say hello
- be reliable
I stole this from James Clear’s 3–2–1 newsletter.
