[Audio] The Real Meaning of "Get Your Priorities Straight" (Patreon)

* The real meaning of prior(ity) is not "important": it's just "first".

* So getting your priorities straight means doing "first things first" -- doing that which is first in importance first in sequence as well.

* On the surface of it, this may seem like annoying nitpicking -- or, worse, brazen tautology -- on all sides.

* But it's actually really important because controlling the sequence (rather than the content) of your action will get you them grandslam, blockbuster results in life.

* Pleasure is good. Hedonism is good. Asceticism is not good and not sustainable. But you still want and need to get certain results in life.

* The way you do that is by finding out what's most important to you and doing it first.

* Do SRS first. Get your immersion environment started first.

* Because it's really all a question of energy management rather than time management. People think time management is what it's all about. It's not. You have more time than you do energy. You have 24 hours a day but you can't "use" them all -- gotta sleep, gotta groom, gotta eat, gotta rest and recuperate, gotta exercise.

* Your energy is more limited than your time. Your energy is at the root of all you can and will do. So it behooves you to spend your energy in order of importance. Spend your energy first on what matters most first and then spend your remaining energy on everything else. Why? Because (1) energy (physical and mental) runs out fast and (2) important/new/growth-oriented things often take more energy than other kinds of things -- think of how much food is required to feed a growing animal.

* None of this seems that earth-shattering, but trust me, it is. I pwomise (lol).
