111. Baseline Tasks Are All That Is Needed

4:07pm, February 7th, 2024, Gym Parking Lot, UT, Car

This is a piggyback off of episode 106. My baseline tasks in my life – that I do every day – are to hit my caloric intake requirements and 225g+ protein, drink 1 gallon of plain water, exercise, read 10 pages of a self development book, no alcohol or cheats, take an ice bath, and record a podcast. While on Live Hard you can throw in an additional workout. But that’s the baseline. When I execute properly, I have 2-3 hours left in my day for whatever else I desire. Which lately has been dedicated to developing products and a business. 

It makes me think that this is the all-so-value key to success that is overlooked. I am doing all of these things daily, and yet I still feel I am not doing enough. Just 7 months ago, I was just working my 9-5 at FedEx and coming home to play games all day. That was it. I didn’t feel any sort of resentment or regret in those days for being a lazy fat fuck. But now that I have a clear vision, I am really disappointed in myself when that is all I do in the day. 

But maybe that’s it. Maybe that’s the key to it all. My personal baseline is sending me on the right trajectory for ultimate success. It just seems like nothing is happening because there hasn’t been enough compounding going on. I’m 6 or 7 months into this journey. I have not given up. What will the magnification of my daily tasks be for the future of my results if I continue this rate of execution for the next 5 years? 

It’s a comforting thought to know all I have to do is not throw in the towel. That’s it.

I cannot fail if I do not quit.
