How to win any argument: 7 ‘logical fallacies’ to outsmart 😈

The #1 rule of conflict management is to avoid people who constantly start conflicts (courtesy of Naval Ravikant).

The #2 rule is that just because you can win an argument doesn’t necessarily mean you should. (I heard this marriage advice at a recent friend’s wedding.)

You might encounter bullies spreading misinformation for their own gain or well-meaning people unaware of their cognitive biases.

Understanding these 7 logical fallacies can help you think freely, defend the truth, and uphold your values—should you choose.

15-Minutes Morning Routine to supercharged my Productivity ☕️

This 15-minute morning routine supercharged my productivity.

Every day, I spend 15 minutes doing a "brain dump" before checking my devices. I write about my internal triggers, frustrations, and worries.

This simple act helps prevent these thoughts from hijacking my attention later.

Here's how to make it work:

1. Schedule it: Use a timeboxed calendar to allocate 15 minutes each morning

2. Minimize distractions: Do this before checking your phone or computer. If needed, use apps to block distracting feeds and websites.

3. Write freely: Explore negative feelings with curiosity, not contempt. What's bothering you? What's on your mind?

4. Identify actionable items: What problems are under your control? What can you do about them?

5. Let go: Acknowledge the things you can't change.

This practice helps you form an action plan for the day ahead, focusing on what truly matters.

Try it tomorrow morning. You might be surprised at how much clearer and more focused your day becomes,

The most important number to determine future wealth 💰

If I had to look at one number to tell how rich someone will be in 30 years, this would be it!

Getting rich is simply the difference between how much you spend and how much you earn over a long period of time.

Unless you have a specific plan where this number will drastically change in the future (say, you're going through med school and will make $500k when you finish residency...), you need to make sure this number is getting higher, not lower.

This number is simple to track, but that doesn't mean it's easy to increase.

This number if the culmination of your budget, your credentials and earning potential, your planning, your family situation, and much, much more.

What should you aim for?

Well the short answer is - as high as you need it to be to reach your financial goals.

The ultimate goal should be to have the spending be enough for you to be comfortable and happy while still having the saving / investing be high enough to set you up for the future.

The best way to achieve this, in my opinion, is to ruthlessly cut out meaningless spending.

If a dollar spent doesn't actively contribute to my happiness, it's not worth it.

And random luxury goods and other items that will drain my ability to save certainly don't contribute to my happiness.

Maximize this number and you'll set yourself up for the future.

And if this number is $0 or negative... reevaluate your decisions and get that number positive ASAP!

Unnatural Dopamine 🧪

Each of these artificially stimulate your dopamine…

Creating a fast increase in dopamine… 📈

Followed by a rapid decrease in dopamine… 📉

This is why it is so tempting to constantly scroll shopping apps, tap through stories, watch short videos or eat sugar 🍫
