Proven Productivity - The "Zero Day"

No, it doesn't mean a weekly "day off".

Instead, it means one day a week where you don't "have" to Work - but you can Work.

P.S. By Work, I'm referring to 360° holistic work - income work, work(outs), inner work, family errands, studying, & upskilling work. So, Zero Days are applicable for 9-to-5ers too.

This has a 2-fold beauty:

The relief of being able to catch up, reflect, or de-compress if you're lagging with (or don't want to) Work.
The exciting chance to push ahead with extra/new work even if you're on track.

Sunday is my Zero Day - but I usually use it for 1-Day Vipassana courses and coaching client calls. Rarely, I ditch it all - to take my family out.

Whether or not you actually use the Zero Day, just setting it can provide psychological relief - and counterintuitively, boost your overall productivity!

Excellence Epiphanies

#1— Straight-7 > A Solo 10

The phrase "Jack Of All Trades" has a bad rap - but it's such Jacks that live a truly fulfilling life...

Being a 7/10 in Everything beats being a 10/10 in 1 aspect and 3-5/10 in the rest.

P.S. By everything, I mean life's fundamentals - relationships, health, happiness, spirituality, and wealth. You're free to define what "Everything" means to you.

1STMAN has an excellent video on this (male-tailored but insightful for everyone).

This doesn't mean simultaneously leveling up everything.

Instead, pick one.
Focus solely on it and level it up to your desired degree...
Then put it on "maintenance" - and pick another.
Rinse and repeat.

#2— Invert The Way You Think Of Gratitude

We wait for blessings or good fortune/things - to express gratitude.

But Reality works the other way round!

The more you express gratitude, the more you'll attract blessings! Your gratitude has to be genuine though - ulterior greedy motives won't work.

"The more you count your blessings, the more blessings you'll have to count"
-- Some Wise Soul

No need to get fancy with this - all you need are 5 daily minutes and WhatsApp.

#3 - The Counterintuitivity Of Balance

Unlike what we think, balance isn't a calm state of Zen bliss...

Yes, balance is that - but staying balanced is more of a balancing act.

Imagine a tightrope-walker - the "balance" results from constantly countering the imbalance! It's a constant, aware effort - a dance of balance and counterbalance.

It's the same in life.

You must move against and through imbalance to ensu(r)e balance.

"Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving."
-- Albert Einstein

Fitness Findings

Finding #1 - The One-Set Method

This is perfect when you're in a hurry - or being choked by a busy schedule.

[Ideally] switch from UL/PPL/any_other_split to Full-Body 2-4x a week.
Choose only one exercise per muscle group - and only one set per exercise.
Build up to that one set with 2-3 ramping warmup sets.
Go all out on your One Set - push beyond failure with drop-sets, isometric rep-holds, and rest-pause sets.

Psychologically, having only one set to do makes you really push to failure - and give it your all.

I've gotten excellent results with it. Try it out and let me know how it goes.

Finding #2 - The Nutri-Prioritization Formula

We binge on sugar, relish carbs, fear the fats, ignore protein, and ditch our veggies...

But the actual prioritization formula is the reverse!

Leafy Greens & Veggies > Protein > Healthy Fats > Carbs > Sugar

For any day and any meal, this prioritization holds true.

Forget dieting and calories - and just stick to this order. Watch your fitness and health levels soar to the skies.

🎁 Bonus #1: Free 1-On-1 Guidance on 𝕏/Twitter (Slots Limited):

My 𝕏/Twitter DMs are always open - for any doubts, problems, questions, thoughts, or feedback you might have.

But what I'm offering now is different.

DM me with the #1 goal, question, or problem you're facing in life now - and we'll go back and forth to discuss and solve it...

If I can't help you directly with it, I'll direct you to resources and people who can.

Valid only for the first 5 people who DM me after reading this.

DM me on 𝕏/Twitter Now

P.S. Even if you're late, I'll still (one-time) answer your question/issue. But I won't be able to spare the time for lengthy back-and-forths - that's only for the first 5.

🎁 Bonus #2: A Recent Spiritual-Fiction Read I Absolutely Love(d):

Thanks to a Medium reader (and fellow writer) Marcus, I ordered Narcissus and Goldmund by Hermann Hesse.

And I plowed through it in just 2 sittings - that's how deeply contemplative and intriguing it was.

Marrying this level of philosophical/spiritual exploration with such an interesting plot/storytelling - not to mention tear-inducingly poetic prose is the Epitome of Mastery.

While not as impactful as Siddhartha for me, it's no doubt a 5-star read I'll keep revisiting.

🎁 Bonus #3: **24% B'Day Discount on The Ultimate No-BS Fat-Loss Bundle (Limited Time):**

This is the only and last (sustainable) fat-loss resource you'll ever need.

Non-Dieting Enjoyable Nutrition. Realistic Customizable Workouts. Inexpensive [Optional] Supplementation. Recovery. Calories. Macros. Micros. Tracking. Tweaking. Fat-Loss Plateaus. Post-Fat-Loss Adjustment. Long-Term Fat-Loss Maintenance...

The Ultimate No-BS Fat-Loss Bundle covers it all.

And to commemorate turning 24, I'm giving it away for 24% off - valid only for the next 24 hours (pun intended!).

The product page (and the testimonials) do all the talking.

🎁 Bonus #4: 3 Incredible Quotes that Live Rent-Free in My Head:

The beauty of quotes lies in our unique subjective perception of them.

So, I'll respect (and let you have) your own interpretation of these gems. Here they are (word for word from direct memory):

"Every moment is either a test or a celebration."
-- David Deida, The Way Of The Superior Man
"Everything in moderation, including moderation"
-- Oscar Wilde
“The simple things are also the most extraordinary, and only the wise can see them.”
-- Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

What do these quotes mean to and awaken in you?

I'd love to know.

**🎁 Bonus #5: 42% B'Day Discount on my Self-Proven 1:1 Coaching/Consultation (Limited + One-Time):**

I'll help you achieve (only) everything I've achieved and solved for/by myself - minus the mistakes, trial, and error...

Plus, I'll share self-tested systems, shortcuts, and "hacks" speed up the process. Not to mention solid action plans, 1-on-1 accountability, and 8+ other bonuses...

For (only) the next 24 hours, you can avail it all for 24% off - limited slots too, since I value quality > quantity.

Click Here to Avail Your 24% Off (and Know More)

The coaching page itself covers it all - but you can also reply to this email with any doubts or questions you might have.

🎁 Bonus #6: 3 YouTube Gems I Think You'll Find Valuable:

Again, I won't provide commentary - the videos (and their titles/creators) speak for themselves:

How To Spot The Loveliest People In The World by the School Of Life
Don't De-Sexualize The Mind, De-Lustify It by Masculine Theory
Matthew McConaughey 2014 Oscar Speech by Oscars (A classic worth rewatching)

🎁 Bonus #7: Direct Free Reply-Email Consultation (Next 24-Hours-Only):

If you don't want to (or can't) DM on 𝕏/Twitter, you can reply to this email directly with the #1 problem, goal, or question you're facing in life currently.

Again, if I can't help you directly, I'll direct you to people and resources that can.

P.S. Again, lengthy email back-and-forths are for the first 5 only. So tarry not!

Until then (and the next M360 edition), cya and take care!

Godspeed and Love!,
Neeramitra Reddy
