"By implementing an evening routine, we establish a sense of structure and order, reducing decision fatigue and freeing up mental space for more important endeavors."

- Daniel J. Levitin, The Organized Mind

"Every man is where he is by the law of his being; the thoughts which he has built into his character have brought him there, and in the arrangement of his life there is no element of chance, but all is the result of a law which cannot err."

- James Allen, As a Man Thinketh

“Affirmations are one of the most effective tools for quickly programming your mind to become the person you need to be to achieve everything you want in your life. Affirmations allow you to design and then develop the mindset that you need to take any area of your life to the next level.”

- Hal Elrod, The Miracle Morning for Real Estate Agents

- Craig Ballantyne, The Dark Side of Discipline

"Exercise is one of the best medicines…whatever you choose stick with it: make physical activity part of your routine so it becomes a habit. Exercise’s mood-boosting effect is critical to keep you calm and integral to productivity."

- Dr. Satchin Panda

"Because in reality your time is finite, doing anything requires sacrifice—the sacrifice of all the other things you could have been doing with that stretch of time. If you never stop to ask yourself if the sacrifice is worth it, your days will automatically begin to fill not just with more things, but with more trivial or tedious things. One can waste years this way, systematically postponing precisely the things one cares about the most."

- Oliver Burkeman, Four Thousand Weeks

"Every man is what he is because of the dominating thoughts which he permits to occupy his mind. It is essential for you to encourage the positive emotions as dominating forces of your mind, and discourage—and eliminate negative emotions."

- Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich

"Finish something. Anything. Stop researching, planning, and preparing to do the work and just do the work. It doesn’t matter how good or how bad it is. Stop debating what you should make and just make something."

"An ingenious series of experiments conducted a number of years ago showed that when people mimicked the facial expressions associated with happiness, they felt happier—even when they did not know they were moving “happy muscles” in their face. Researchers have found that smiling itself produces feelings of happiness."

- Robert Emmons, Thanks!

"Focus on the process (the way you spend your time) instead of the product (what you want to accomplish)."

- Barbara Oakley

"Good and evil both increase at compound interest. That is why the little decisions you and I make every day are of such infinite importance. The smallest good act today is the capture of a strategic point from which, a few months later, you may be able to go on to victories you never dreamed of."

- C. S. Lewis

"Every person should prioritize the quantity, quality, and consistency of sleep like their life depended on it."

- Casey Means, MD, Good Energy

"For twenty years, my research has shown that the view you adopt for yourself profoundly affects the way you lead your life. It can determine whether you become the person you want to be and whether you accomplish the things you value."

- Carol Dweck, Mindset

"Every decision to use a portion of time on anything represents the sacrifice of all the other ways in which you could have spent that time, but didn’t—and to willingly make that sacrifice is to take a stand, without reservation, on what matters most to you."

- Oliver Burkeman, Four Thousand Weeks

"Stop consuming and start doing."

- Sharran Srivatsaa

"Fear is your real opponent. …It’s all about fear. If you kill fear, you win. If you kill fear, you have your best year ever. If you kill fear, you train like a madman. If you kill fear, you go to college for free. If you kill fear, you stand on the podium, you get paid, and you have strangers walk up to you and call you by name. When fear dies, you begin to live."

- Stan Beecham, Elite Minds

"Accept—then act. Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it. Always work with it, not against it. Make it your friend and ally, not your enemy. This will miraculously transform your whole life."

- Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now

“People can't really multitask; all we can do is shift attention back and forth between tasks while wasting a lot of it on each shift.”

- Jonathan Haidt, The Anxious Generation
