Your mind is your most valuable career asset.

5 science-backed habits to boost your brain power:

1. Follow Japan’s 80% Rule

Stop eating at 80% full to prevent food coma. You’ll maintain better energy after lunch.

2. Stay Hydrated

Your brain is 73% water—even 2% dehydration impairs clear thinking and decision-making. Keep a water flask at your desk so you can stay hydrated throughout the day. 

3. Take Walking Meetings

Walking increases blood flow to the brain by 15%, sparking creativity and sharper insights. Try a walking meeting after lunch to be more productive.

4. Have a Strong Rest Ethic

Sleep isn't a luxury, it's a necessity. Get 7+ hours to see improvements in memory, problem-solving, and focus.

5. Avoid Energy Vampires

Nothing is more draining than negative interactions. Choose relationships that energize, not drain you.

If you’re a knowledge worker, 
You get paid to use your brain.

Why not take care of it like an athlete takes care of their body?

This quote hit me hard.

Here are 3 ways to develop a bias for action:

1. The 2-Minute Rule
↳ If it takes less than 2 minutes, do it now.
↳ For bigger tasks, just spend 2 minutes starting.
↳ Watch how momentum crushes procrastination.

2. Follow the 70-20-10 Rule (H/TJonathan Mann)
↳ Volume of work is the number one predictor of creative success. 
↳ 70% will be mediocre, 20% will be bad, and 10% will be outstanding.
↳ If you’re avoiding failure, you’re avoiding success.

3. Reframe Your Self-Talk
↳ The words you speak become the life you live, so choose wisely. 
↳ Rephrase sayings like "I’m not ready" to "I'll figure it out along the way."

Start before you're ready.
Act before you're confident.
Ship before it's perfect.

You’ve got this,
Ben

20 Life-Changing Sentences I Wish I'd Read Sooner

Apply these insights with 3 simple actions:

Shoutout to my friend Colby Kultgen for this powerful cheat sheet. 

1. Have a Bias For Action

• Action generates momentum—waiting only increases anxiety. 
• Growth happens outside your comfort zone, especially when you feel unqualified.
• Motivation is created by taking the first step, not the other way around.

2. Break Free From External Validation

• Your worth exists independently of productivity metrics or others' approval.
• Protecting your mental health takes precedence. 
• The people who truly matter will respect your boundaries, not punish you for them.

3. Practice Daily Discipline

• Small daily habits (not grand gestures) architect the structure for a successful life.
• Discipline is the bridge between immediate desires and long-term fulfillment.
• Rest supports daily action. Treat it as a fundamental right, not a reward to be earned.

The simplest sentences can often carry the most power.

Read them. Apply them. Watch your life transform.
