Here’s your integrated life architecture—how to align mission, habits, relationships, and time into an unbreakable system:
1. Mission (Your North Star)¶
Definition:
"The one thing you'd pursue if everything else was taken away."
How to Find It:
- Ask: "What pain do I enjoy suffering for?"
- Example:
- Weak: "Be happy"
- Strong: "Master the art of storytelling to preserve human truths"
2. Aims (5-Year Battles)¶
3-5 life domains where you’ll wage war:
1. Body (Health/strength)
2. Mind (Skills/wisdom)
3. Wealth (Financial freedom)
4. Legacy (Impact beyond yourself)
Example Aim:
"Build a self-sustaining creative studio by 2029."
3. Goals (1-Year Targets)¶
SMOKE Test (Specific, Measurable, Obsessive, Killable, Enjoyable):
| Domain | 2024 Goal | Deadline |
|----------|--------------------------------|------------|
| Body | 12% body fat | 2024-12-01 |
| Mind | Read 50 books (25 non-fiction) | 2024-12-31 |
| Wealth | $10K/mo passive income | 2024-10-15 |
Rule: If you don’t get visceral excitement thinking about it, scrap it.
4. Habits (Daily Rituals)¶
The 5 Pillars:
1. Morning:
- 5 min journaling ("What will make today great?")
- 20 min movement (yoga, running, weights)
2. Work:
- 90-min deep work sprints (2-3x/day)
3. Evening:
- 1 hr no screens (reading/conversation only)
- 10-min reflection ("What did I learn today?")
Pro Tip: Stack habits—"After coffee, I write 200 words."
5. Passion (Energy Engine)¶
Not "what you love"—but what recharges you:
- Explorative: Learning guitar
- Competitive: Chess tournaments
- Creative: Woodworking
Test: "Would I do this if no one ever saw it?"
6. Timetable (Rhythm > Balance)¶
Weekly Template:
🟦 Mon-Wed: Creation (Most important work)
🟨 Thu: Connections (Meetings/collabs)
🟥 Fri: Cleanup (Admin/errands)
⬜ Sat: Passion projects
⬛ Sun: Solitude (Planning/recovery)
7. Will (The Discipline Blueprint)¶
When motivation dies:
1. 10-Second Rule: "Just start for 10 seconds." (Action precedes motivation)
2. Identity Leverage: "I’m someone who ______." (Fill with current goal)
3. Pain-Pleasure Anchor:
- "If I skip this, I’ll feel like a coward."
- "If I do this, I’ll respect myself."
8. Relationships (Strategic Bonds)¶
The 4 Types to Cultivate:
1. Mentors (Ahead of you) → Learn from
2. Peers (Beside you) → Compete with
3. Disciples (Behind you) → Teach
4. Lovers/Family (Roots) → Protect
Maintenance Protocol:
- Weekly: 2 meaningful conversations
- Monthly: 1 vulnerability exchange ("Here’s where I’m struggling...")
Integration Challenge¶
- Write your Mission (1 sentence)
- Set 3 Goals (Due this year)
- Design 1 Habit (Starts tomorrow)
Final Truth:
"Most people overplan and underact.
The elite do the opposite."
