Life Rules

To keep a relationship from becoming negative, you need ~5x positive interactions for every 1x negative interaction. Think carefully before allowing a negative interaction to occur

The negativity bias is strong. Don't let your fear of losing inhibit your ability to take (reasonable) risks

Compound interest is your friend. Invest in good habits and indexed ETFs

Regular phone use dramatically reduces your ability to engage in delayed gratification

If you want to complain about the way things are, you must first take ownership in the planning phase

Get >7hrs of sleep every night

Get outside for >45min total every day

Michael Pollan's Food Rules, but elaborated in my terms:

No high-fructose corn syrup
Veggie-dominant diet (meat ~2x meals a week)
No nitrates in my meat
Wild caught fish (yes I know it's less environmentally-friendly)
Organic berries
Purchase ingredients as they are found in nature

These are general rules, and occasionally (often?) violated. I'm not dogmatic, but if I use these as guidelines for the habits I build, I'll naturally choose them more often than not.
