No zero days

My current goal list

I’m reading “Discipline Equals Freedom” by Jocko Willink and came across this concept of “No Zero Days”.

In his text, he speaks about a zero day being a day in which you didn’t make an effort to advance your personal goals (paraphrased). If you find yourself at 11:55 PM one night, not having done anything you’d qualify as advancing a goal, then get it done.

Pick up the guitar, practice that song.

Pick up that book, read a passage (for me, it’s Linchpin by Seth Godin orĀ The Daily Stoic by Ryan Holiday).

Knock out 20 pushups.

Do SOMETHING.

This message resonated so powerfully it made it on my daily goal list (pictured).
