In our last +1, we chatted about the fact that your food label might be lying to you by stuffing a few variations of cancer candy (aka sugar) into your jam so "SUGAR" doesn't make its way to the top slot.    (Which is one of the reasons you and your Loved ones might be unknowingly consuming A LOT more sugar than you think and, unfortunately, suffering the SIGNIFICANT consequences.)   Today I want...

After drafting that last +1, I hit my 90-minute mark for my second Deep Work Time Block of the day, which, of course, triggered one of my keystone algorithms.   "After 90-minutes of Deep Work, I take a 15-20 minute break."   So…   I grabbed a little bite to eat and went on a short walk around our property. As I was walking, I contemplated the whole idea of "sin" and missing the mark in our lives....

As we've discussed countless times, I start my days with at least a minute or three of journaling.    These days it's a super-quick sketch of our Optimize Virtue Compass then a quick trip through the Big 3 x 2 +1.    So…   The other day I sat down to begin my Deep Work session with the quick sketch of our compass.    And…    You know what I saw right after I wrote down the four cardinal virtues of...

Today we spend some time with Abraham Maslow and his wisdom on embracing "misery privileges" in our life as we also connect some ideas from Ray Dalio and his mistake-learner's high with the inevitable imperfections of life that give us an opportunity to get a little Wiser! Hope you enjoy and let's do this! -bri

In Today's #1, we go for a little walk on the Trail around our property. lol. Emerson makes a surprise cameo as we give you a little tour of our Trail and pond-turned-puddle along with an invitation to join us for Optimize Coach - Class III—which launches in less than one week!!! Learn more, sign up, etc: https://www.optimize.me/coach Love and let's do this! -bri

This morning we take the quick look at the ol' Oura score and briefly reflect on the imperfect nature of sleep (especially when your wife stops breastfeeding and you sleep in a family bed! lol) then hit a ton of little things I thought might be interesting—ranging from thoughts on my pre-inputs creative process and systems and wrapping up with Being So Good and Energized and Awesome That They Can'...

In our last +1, we Optimized our oral posture.   Bet you didn't think we'd be talking about that when you signed up for Optimize! (Hah.)   I know I didn't but here we are!   Recall: We want to turn our S-shaped bodies into a J-shape and then close our lips and gently place our tongues up toward the front of the roof of our mouths.   As it turns out, my favorite breathing expert, Patrick McKeown, w...

This morning (after the 1-2-3!) I spent a few minutes going through the 100+ PhilosophersNotes on which I'll be doing PNTVs soon (YEEHAH!) and then got to work on my PN on Driven by Doug Brackmann. Here are some thoughts on Optimizing in general (Measure! Consistency!) and also on how to harness our drives in particular. Hope you enjoy. Let's do this. TODAY! -bri

Quick one this morning. 1-2-3, PNTVs are coming back—in black and white! lol—and this gem: "A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play, his labour and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing and leaves others to determine...
