13 Tim Ferriss Quotations About Discipline, Distractions, Focus And Laziness

The decent method you follow is better than the perfect method you quit. 

I value self-discipline, but creating systems that make it next to impossible to misbehave is more reliable than self-control.

If we’re talking about just distractions, we’re talking about prioritization. If you feel like you don’t have time, you don’t have priorities. Everyone has the same amount of time.

It is imperative that you learn to ignore or redirect all information and interruptions that are irrelevant, unimportant, or unactionable. Most are all three.

In a world of distraction and multitasking, the ability to single task — to genuinely do one thing without getting distracted by push notifications, alerts, email, text messages, social media, whatever it might be — is a super power.

The problem with New Year’s resolutions – and resolutions to ‘get in better shape’ in general, which are very amorphous – is that people try to adopt too many behavioral changes at once. It doesn’t work. I don’t care if you’re a world-class CEO – you’ll quit.

The end product of the shorter deadline is almost inevitably of equal or higher quality due to greater focus.

Indiscriminate action is a form of laziness.

Schedule things in advance, or you might be inclined to quit. A lot of standup comedians do this, because they may have six or 12 gigs before they do their first set well. Commit beforehand; prepay if you can.

It’s hip to focus on getting things done, but it’s only possible once we remove the constant static and distraction.

I value self-discipline, but creating systems that make it next to impossible to misbehave is more reliable than self-control.

Blaming idiots for interruptions is like blaming clowns for scaring children – they can’t help it. It’s their nature. Then again, I had, on occasion, been known to create interruptions out of thin air. If you’re anything like me, that makes us both occasional idiots. Learn to recognize and fight the interruption impulse. This is infinitely easier when you have a set of rules, responses, and routines to follow.

What bullshit excuses do you have for not going after whatever it is that you want? (Conversation with BJ Miller)

Gratitude Quotes About Happiness

Joy is the simplest form of gratitude. Karl Barth

Joy is a heart full and a mind purified by gratitude. Marietta McCarty

My expectations were reduced to zero when I was 21. Everything since then has been a bonus. Stephen Hawking

If you want to find happiness, find gratitude. Steve Maraboli

Giving thanks for abundance is greater than the abundance itself. Rumi

Gratitude is one of the sweet shortcuts to finding peace of mind and happiness inside. No matter what is going on outside of us, there’s always something we could be grateful for. Barry Neil Kaufman

Gratefulness is the key to a happy life that we hold in our hands, because if we are not grateful, then no matter how much we have we will not be happy – because we will always want to have something else or something more. David Steindl-Rast

The things you really need are few and easy to come by; but the things you can imagine you need are infinite, and you will never be satisfied. Epicurus

We’re a nation hungry for more joy: because we’re starving from a lack of gratitude. Brené Brown (The Gifts of Imperfection)

Of the blessings set before you, make your choice, and be content. Samuel Johnson

Gratitude is the state of mind of thankfulness. As it is cultivated, we experience an increase in our “sympathetic joy,” our happiness at another’s happiness. Just as in the cultivation of compassion, we may feel the pain of others, so we may begin to feel their joy as well. And it doesn’t stop there. Stephen Levine

Gratitude unlocks all that’s blocking us from really feeling truthful, really feeling authentic and vulnerable and happy. Gabrielle Bernstein

Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough. Oprah Winfrey

Gratitude turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity… it makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow. Melody Beattie

Happiness is itself a kind of gratitude. Joseph Wood Krutch

A contented mind is the greatest blessing a man can enjoy in this world. Joseph Addison

Gratitude helps you to grow and expand; gratitude brings joy and laughter into your life and into the lives of all those around you. Eileen Caddy

Gratitude also opens your eyes to the limitless potential of the universe, while dissatisfaction closes your eyes to it. Stephen Richards

The soul that gives thanks can find comfort in everything; the soul that complains can find comfort in nothing. Hannah Whitall Smith

Expectation has brought me disappointment. Disappointment has brought me wisdom. Acceptance, gratitude and appreciation have brought me joy and fulfillment. Rasheed Ogunlaru

Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is a spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude. Dennis Waitley

Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has plenty; not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some. Charles Dickens

      It is impossible to feel grateful and depressed in the same moment. Naomi Williams
