Hustle and grind. Create 7 streams of income. Work 18 hour days - anything less and you're a loser destined for mediocrity. Read 5 books a week. Start trading stocks and crypto. Take cold showers, hit the gym. Optimize your schedule, log every minute spent. Ditch your loser friends and only hang out with likeminded - success breeds success. Sigma grindset. Moon or bust. If you're not worth $1 million liquid before 30, cut off your finger and work even harder. Analyze your productivity and always look for places to cut fat.

- onion2k 4y agoThere was a trend called 'bulletproof coffee' that went around SV and the startup world about a decade ago, where you were supposed to drink coffee with two spoons of butter and some 'brain enhancing' MCT oil in it. Lots of CEOs went mad for it. I don't think I've heard of anyone still drinking it for a long time. https://www.bulletproof.com/recipes/bulletproof-diet-recipes/bulletproof-coffee-recipe/ https://www.bulletproof.com/recipes/bulletproof-diet-recipes...

- jstarfish 4y agoSwap out the financial goals with spiritual goals and that describes the daily routine of a cult member. Most of them are designed to keep you busy with introspective or pointless busywork so you're too tired to protest or don't notice the things going on around you-- like the leader sleeping with your spouse while robbing you blind.

- squeaky-clean 4y agoI got a free copy of "Sam's Teach Yourself C# in 21 Days" at some Microsoft sponsored career fair thing for students. While not a bad book overall, each chapter was supposed to be "1 day" and I definitely did wonder what planet Sam lived on.

- weakfish 4y agoThis is my all time favorite video to show people > “Check robinhood. All red, just as I expected.”
- Trasmatta 4y agoThe videos on that channel are so good that they're painful to watch, when you realize how closely it matches the life you're living. This one is my favorite (or "least favorite" depending on how hard it hits on any given day): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYvhC_RdIwQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYvhC_RdIwQ I feel like the people doing that channel could write a very effective modern Office Space.

- nickstinemates 4y agoI don't. Tastes like shit.
- MuffinFlavored 4y agoI get that this is satire but could you expand on why people who want to be healthy + productive "have it wrong" (which I feel your satirical comment alludes to?) You're "taking the piss" at people who value working hard/long hours, reading, trying to be successful financially, taking care of their health/fitness, cutting ties with loser friends (drug addicts? bums?)
- psyc 4y agoI'm fine with these things insofar as they are factually in service to a substantial undertaking. The routine cannot be the undertaking, nor am I impressed by such a routine in search of an undertaking. The camera should only be on the routine, the 'secrets of success', rarely as a glimpse behind the scenes. As a rule, the camera should be on the worthy venture.
- coldtea 4y ago>but could you expand on why people who want to be healthy + productive "have it wrong" First, because both healthy and productive have long become a rat race. In that sense, it's not about some e.g. obese person wanting to lose weight anymore, or about some lazy person wanting to get their act together and be more productive, but increasingly about an obsession with dieting and working out, or with working all the time to "make it" and hustling constantly. Second, because for many those aren't even their own goals, just things instilled in them by influencers, productivity and health peddlers, the media, and co, as a substitute for a meaningful work and a balanced way of life. Third, because even those dubious goals are often not followed anyway, instead people obsess with productivity and health "porn", todo systems, micro-managing their day (or meals), measurbating, and so on, as opposed to a simple, natural approach to those things.
- xkcd1963 4y agoIf you abandon your drug addict friends and bums that only shows that somebody with a stronger character wouldn't fear aquiring their attributes nor would aquire them.
- posix86 4y agoI'm open for different opinions, but in my view, being more productive for its own sake is fundamentally misinformed. Being productive means being more efficient at producing output. To get there, you need to put effort into optimizing your process. This effort is only worth it if you know that you NEED more output, in order to reach some OTHER goal. More efficiency in of itself is a misaligned goal. It doesn't lead to happyness. In fact, it seems to me, most of those gurus, and their followers seem to be about boasting their productivity dick. It's like flaunting money: a status symbol that doesn't make you happy in of itself. If you're making honey because you think just simply having money will make you happy, you'll be leading a miserable life. That's not what the article is about but it relates to what you said.
- owow123 4y ago18 hours a day? Telsa ran on 4 hours sleep, stop slacking. Putting you on PIP for this attitude, not very "big org" mindset.
- the_af 4y agoYou can shave some slacking off time by skipping lunch and dinner and instead chugging some Silicon Valley energy drink mix, marketed with a fancy name. Wasting time with meals is for unsuccessful losers!

- smolder 4y agoStill cries at a good film. Still kisses with saliva. That song was so good at making what generally reads like a healthy lifestyle seem hollow and pointless. I love it, even as I question whether its effect on my teenaged self was a good one, or maybe just fueled my neuroticism. It makes me look at life a little bit more like an opportunity to be creative and make risky, weird choices and less like a continuous process of self improvement, for better or worse.
- codyZ 4y agoI think that I actually 'L - O - L' at most three times a year when reading on my computer. "cut off your finger and work even harder." is the best one yet!
- throw149102 4y agoI mean this is funny but this isn't at all what the post is about. What it means by "productivity porn" is only tangentially related with the hustle sigma male trillionaire grindset stuff.
- DiffEq 4y agoI see what you are saying but I, and some others I know who try to live this way, find it fun and fulfilling. So what is the problem?
- fleddr 4y agoMy secret for success, you ask? I get up at 2AM, with a smile. Then do 7 hours of running after which I have my usual 3 racks of eggs for breakfast, whilst I speed read 3 books. I'm fluent in one language: the language of success, which I generously share to willing students on LinkedIn. A thread (1/74)...

- code_runner 4y agoA just-out-of-college co-worker of mine pops into my LinkedIn feed regularly following people talking about “hard assets” and retiring from their corporate job by 40… I don’t know him well enough to say it, but I wonder if he realizes they now have the job of being a landlord and influencer… and anybody can yell numbers about revenue streams on a video (which they probably learned in their time in corporate America)
