11 Simple Rules
In 2020, I came across Chris Taylor’s Mashable article: Every self-help book ever, boiled down to 11 simple rules.
Having read some of the included self-help books, I enjoyed reading Chris’ distillation of timeless wisdom. I found his choices for the 11 rules to be some of the best insights one can use to lead a good, fulfilling life.
Now, for those who are in a hurry, here are the 11 rules:
- Take one small step.
- Change your mental maps.
- Struggle is good. Scary is good.
- Instant judgment is bad.
- Remember the end of your life.
- Be playful.
- Be useful to others.
- Perfectionism = procrastination.
- Sleep, exercise, eat, chill out. Repeat.
- Write it all down.
- You can’t get it all from reading.
Life can be straightforward. Just write it all down while having fun and being scared. You got this!
