A Few Tweaks...

Renamed from Manximize-1-2-3 to Manximize-360° - to reflect the newsletter's focus on holistic 360° self-growth.
'Matters of Excellence' section is now 'Excellence Epiphanies' - for alliteration.

The rest are "under the hood" upgrades - you'll see/feel as you read on :)

Proven Productivity - Free-Form Journaling and Its Insane Power

Journaling is ridiculously over-complicated. It has only 2 steps:

Get a pen and journal/diary/notebook.
Write.

Forget intentions. Forget prompts. Forget looking fancy.

Use journaling as a tool to convert the tangled mess inside your skull - into tangible reality. There's only 1 "rule":

Whenever you feel confused/overwhelmed, put pen to paper. Period.

Watch the magic of clarity arise.

Fit Formulas

Formula #1 - The Best 3D-Delts Exercise

It's the cuffed single-arm cable lateral raise.

Along with the face pull, this builds 3D delts that stand out and make people ask if you're natty. The rules are simple:

Use perfect form.
1-3 sets of 12-20 reps 3-5x a week.
Strive to visualize & feel your side delts.

Formula #2 - The Only "Necessary" Weight-Loss "Hack"

The Calories-In-Calories-Out (CICO) teeter-totter.

Memorize it. Paste it on your wall. Stare it to death. Let it sink into your mind.

This mother "hack" gives rise to all other fat-loss hacks through questions like:

How (all) can you decrease CI every week, day, meal, and mouthful — by 1000, 100, or even 10 Kcals? At home, while out, and when traveling?
How (all) can you increase CO every week, day, and (non) exercise hour— by 10, 100, or 1000+ Kcals? At home, the gym, and your work desk?
How (all) can you bulletproof both so you don’t go overboard? Before, while, and after losing your desired weight?

A recent article of mine covers this in deeper detail - with 18 additional hacks. Read it for free here.

Excellence Epiphanies

#1— The Power Of Surrender

Sounds counterintuitive - but "giving up" to (your version of) God is way stronger than resisting with willpower.

I saw this with NoFap, where willpower and resistance failed, Surrender won - and is winning.

"Surrender to what is. Say “yes” to life — and see how life suddenly starts working for you rather than against you.”
-- Eckhart Tolle

Stay rooted in the present moment.
Surrender all forms of negativity to God - with true intention.

#2— An Easy Inversion For Discipline

Rather than trying to force discipline onto yourself, become the kind of person who naturally does those things:

Don't try to wake up at 5 AM - become a natural early riser.
Don't try to workout daily - become a fitness enthusiast.
Don't try to read 50 pages a day - become an ardent reader.

Upgrade your identity, not your efforts. Here's a YouTube video that goes deeper into this.

#3— True Priorities Aren't Sexy

My true top priorities in life currently are:

Inner work (Vipassana)
(Medium) Writing
Family errands/tasks/time

That's it.

Not taking over the world. Not "scaling to $10K". Not fancy.

Find your priorities (using Warren Buffet's 3/25 rule).
Reveal them to no one or only near/dear ones.
Rehash them daily with bullet journaling.
