The Wisdom of a Schedule

Reprogramming my life is something that I could not do without a schedule. Time is one of the most valuable resources we each possess. I hope this serves as a reminder of what ends up happening to people who never get their act together. It is a lost life, and that may sound judgemental – but I know it all too well. I’ve lived it for quite some time.

My schedule raises my bar a fraction, each day. The more reps that I put in, the more that value compounds across time. That’s how the greatest become the greatest. And as much as I look to them for inspiration, I don’t want to be them. I want to be the greatest version of myself, and so I only look back 24 hours to see how I can improve, rather than a person that I’ve never met who serves as god incarnate.

My schedule is nothing special, and yet it is my compass. My sacrifices should have been made a long time ago, and yet the fact that I willingly make them every day matters more to me than their delay. We possess all the tools we need. Anyone who has access to the internet has virtually every resource they could ever want to increase their quality of life. It’s important to remind myself of this when I feel like criticizing the world. Don’t criticize what you do not understand.
