2x2: If your stuck in routines that don’t add up

Hello! Shawn here. And welcome to this week’s edition of the 2x2 Newsletter. Your premier Friday email for doing the important work that matters while creating and protecting your free time to enjoy life. I’m so glad you’re here. Check this out 1: [The Paradox Map of Stress]( A very interesting way to look at stress (i.e. not as a singular problem to be solved one time, but as an ongoing challenge to be managed). (I believe that my company’s [8-Week Work Cycles]( solve for this in a lot of ways by creating a routine rhythm of moving between rest and then back to challenging work and back to rest again.) 2: [25 Psychological Biases that Influence your Decision-Making]( Something to think about How to Live a Life Without Regret Here are a few cliche things that will help you wake up in five years with no regrets. 1: Own Your Choices Every choice is just a bet on the future we think will happen. Sometimes our choices lead to the outcomes we want and sometimes not. Since you can’t control outcomes — you can only control your choices — own the choices you have and don't wish away the past. 2: Use Routines Big breakthroughs in life rarely come from huge-yet-seldom advantages that happen TO us. Rather, breakthroughs come from the small advantages that we make for ourselves every day. Put another way: you change your whole life by your simple, daily routines. 3: Be Present in the Moment: We can't predict the future, so it's silly to delay the happiness of our lives for some possible event in the future. If you decide to be present now for the choices and routines of your day, it lets you find the joy in the moment. This, dear reader, is how you live a life with no regrets. * * * — Shawn P.S.
