Ten life shortcuts I’ve used that actually work

I’m often the first to yell from the rooftops about how there are no shortcuts in life or work.

And this is absolutely true for 99.9% of things.

But I was chilling in a hammock recently, looking up at the clouds, reflecting on my 39 years on this planet.

I was struck by a thought.

I have taken some shortcuts. I mean, they’re kind of shortcuts. They certainly made life far easier for me, and saved me potentially years of pain.

What were those ‘shortcuts?’

So I wrote a list, that I will share with you now:

1. Learn directly from someone who has done something similar to what you want to do.

You can avoid the mistakes they made and make time.

Find a mentor in person or via their books and courses.

Eliminate brain fog food.

You are slowed greatly by insulin-spiking foods like bread, refined sugar and pasta.

Nutrient-dense food that leads to a more stable mood like steak and eggs is a performance cheat.

Outsource as much as you can.
