Long Term
Game.

I want a life that feels rich in experience, simple in its needs, and intentional with its attention. I am here to experience life—not just get through it.

01 / Direction

What type of life do I want?

Luxury and simplicity can coexist. I want the freedom to explore different sides of life without becoming dependent on excess.

Experience life fully

Enjoy the good phases and the difficult ones. Both are part of being alive. I want to travel solo and with others, explore unfamiliar places, meet strangers, and collect real experiences.

Understand people

Listen to people's stories, struggles, and the solutions they found in real life—not just polished advice copied from social media. Observe carefully. Try to understand before judging.

Stay curious about humanity

Learn how the human mind works, how civilizations developed, how language and knowledge passed between generations, and how people built the world we live in.

Learn beyond my own mistakes

Time is limited. Read, observe, and test other people's lessons in my own life. When I am stuck, step outside my own perspective and look at the situation through someone else's eyes.

02 / Foundation

My daily standards

These are foundations, not a competition. I want consistency without turning my life into a rigid checklist.

  1. 01
    Sleep: protect recoveryAim for 6–7 hours of quality sleep or whatever amount my body consistently needs to function well. Do not sacrifice sleep as a permanent productivity strategy.
  2. 02
    Movement: train for strength and energyAim for 90–120 minutes when it fits my training and recovery needs. On a busy day, give myself at least 30 minutes. Train hard, but not recklessly; recovery is part of progress.
  3. 03
    Morning: read, think, and orientRead 2–3 pages or write down my thoughts. Review the rough to-do list I made the night before. Keep it simple enough that I can actually do it.
  4. 04
    Deep work: do at least two focused hoursPut in two hours on meaningful work, learning, or study—at the office or on my own projects. Choose one important thing and give it real attention.
  5. 05
    Eat well and take breaksEat nourishing meals as needed, hydrate, and take proper breaks. Avoid extremes. Sustainable progress beats a routine that burns me out.

A plan is a blueprint, not a promise.

I use plans to prepare, not to pretend I can predict everything. If the plan works, good. If life changes, adapt. Based on past experience I can make predictions, but I should never expect them to be perfect.

03 / Evaluation

What makes a day better?

A good day is not necessarily a perfect or highly productive day. It is a day where I respected my priorities and responded well to reality.

I invested in myself

I protected my sleep, moved my body, ate reasonably well, and gave my mind time to recover.

I moved something important forward

I gave meaningful work or learning focused attention, even if the result was smaller than planned.

I learned or noticed something

I read, reflected, listened to someone, explored an idea, or saw a situation from a different perspective.

I chose where my attention went

I produced something useful, avoided mindless consumption where possible, and made room for rest and enjoyment.

Progress is a trend, not a verdict on one day. Missed a habit? Notice why, adjust, and continue tomorrow.

04 / Boundaries

Things I want to avoid

Protect the basics. Do not trade long-term wellbeing for short-term stimulation or an impressive-looking routine.

Keep these in check

  • Unhealthy food as a default. Make nourishing choices most of the time without obsessing over perfection.
  • Cutting sleep to gain hours. Do not copy people who glorify sleeping 3–4 hours. An occasional short night happens; making it a habit is a bad trade.
  • Cheap, endless consumption. Social media itself is a tool; engagement-driven algorithms are designed to capture attention. Set boundaries and choose when to use it.
  • Consuming more than I create. Produce more than I consume—ideas, work, skills, writing, useful things, and meaningful experiences.
  • Living at an extreme. Discipline matters, but so do rest, relationships, play, and enjoying the day.
05 / Attention

Ignore the noise. Choose what matters.

I do not need to micromanage every hour. I need clear principles, enough awareness, and the ability to make a good decision when circumstances change.

  • Not every opinion deserves my attention.
  • Not every trend needs to become my goal.
  • Not every hour needs to be optimized.
  • Rest and enjoyment are part of life, not rewards I must earn.
  • Use my time, energy, and attention where they create the most value.
  • Trust myself to adapt—but be honest when my choices are not serving me.

Work, act, chill, explore, enjoy. Let the day determine the mix. Keep the direction; adapt the details.
