Life "cheat codes" everyone should know:

1. When you think something nice about someone, let them know right then.

2. Never think twice about investments in yourself. They pay dividends for a long time.

3. Put your alarm clock in the bathroom. If you have to get up to turn it off, you won't snooze.

4. If you want to get better at anything, do it for 30 minutes per day for 30 straight days.

5. Hire a writer to document your parents' childhood stories. Print it with old photos.

6. Write down three things you’re grateful for before bed. Read them out loud when you wake up.

7. Go for a 15 minute walk every morning. It has a positive impact on your mood, sleep, metabolism, digestion, and more.

8. Always pursue the path that has the larger luck surface area.

9. Tell your partner one thing you appreciate about them every single day.

10. Do a few things that you'll be excited to tell your kids about someday. Create stories worth telling.

11. Spend 15 minutes every evening preparing for your first focus tasks the next morning.

12. If someone tries to put down your accomplishments, cut them out of your life.

13. Take yourself out for a meal alone once each month. It’s insanely freeing—a meditative experience.

14. When you're starting your career, swallow the frog for your boss to get ahead. Observe your boss, figure out what they hate doing, and take it off their plate. Easy win.

15. When someone is going through hell, just say "I’m with you." Advice is minimally impactful. The notion that someone is with you is 10x more powerful.

16. If someone regularly brags about their wealth, income, or success, just assume the reality is about 50% of what they say.

17. Reread your favorite books annually. You may read thousands of books in your life, but there will only be a few that deeply change you.

18. Never delay difficult conversations. If you're nervous, do it on a walk, it makes it much easier.

19. Do the "old fashioned" things well. Look people in the eye, have a firm handshake, and always stay true to your word.

20. If you're about to say yes to something on the assumption that you'll have more time for it in the future, say no instead.

21. Give people a second chance, but never a third.

22. If you want something—and have put in the work to deserve it—ask for it.

23. Never take advice from people on the sidelines.

24. Learn one dance move that you can reliably bust out when you inevitably get pushed into the center of a dance circle at a wedding or event.

25. Be bored for at least 15 minutes per day. Boredom unlocks creativity.

26. Invest in personalized stationery and use it regularly.

27. Spend more time doing things you never regret.

28. Make decisions that your 80-year-old self and 10-year-old self would be proud of.

29. Do one hard thing every day when you could do it the easy way.

30. Be interested in everyone you encounter.
