Mindset
I work about 40 hours a week I do I was telling someone the other day uh I do about six hours of networking a week and I've done about 9,000 networking meetings in my career so like to me the this is like a cheat code because I don't view networking as work because I'm meeting cool people... the best way to be productive is to align your activities with what you value that's that is the meta game of productivity

Align activities with values — that's the meta-game of productivity

Productivity systems optimize within a chosen game; the meta-game is choosing the right activities in the first place. Khe does 6 hours of networking a week not as a task but because he genuinely enjoys meeting cool people — 9,000 meetings in over 9 years. Anchor your week on activities whose intrinsic value matches what you'd do for free, then frame the income-generating layer around that. The activities themselves stop costing willpower.
