Stop listening to the internet
summary
Argues for a personal definition of healthy hustle: two-hour morning blocks and leaving work undone so evenings stay free, habit-forming sessions (one-hour coding blocks). Recommends decision tools like yes/no jars and the must vs should lens, simple positive triggers (running clothes by the bed, phone in another room), and knowing when to quit. Gives concrete outcomes: a podcast launched in Nov 2015 that racks up ~250,000 listens, and a practical example of choosing a tiny knitting square over an advanced baby-bootie project to actually finish.
