💡 Core Concept

  • Progress = Intensity + Consistency
  • Mastery = Consistent Action (without overthinking) + Solving Real-World Problems (by doing projects)

The 30-for-30 Approach — Sahil Bloom

  • In any area in which you want to make progress, do the thing for 30 minutes per day for 30 straight days.
  • Anyone can find 30 minutes in their day to focus on something they care about making progress on:
    • First thing in the morning
    • During your lunch break
    • At the end of the work day
    • Before going to bed
  • 30 days of 30 minutes per day is 900 total minutes (i.e., 15 hours) of accumulated, focused, dedicated effort, which creates a marathon of short, manageable sprints.
