It's the environment, stupid!


When healthy food is available and junk food isn’t, you eat better.

When your phone’s in greyscale and you delete social apps, you look at your phone less.

When you set up automatic transfers to your savings account, you save more.

​

This is not me. It’s science.

​

It’s not just willpower.

It’s not just discipline.

​

Your environment does set the rules.

​

When you set up the scene, you model your willpower.

​

Do you want to do more exercise?

Prepare your clothes, your shoes… or create a gym at home… make it impossible to miss.

No distractions? Send your mobile phone to hell, disconnect internet, put your favourite playlist…

​

Habits and environments.

That simple.

​

No wonder why if you stick around successful people, you tend to be successful yourself. You enter in an environment that favours success.

And if you stick around complainers, weak people with not that great mindset… you’ll become one of them.

​

Here you are something, I learned by sticking with successful people, create an environment and try things myself.

​Is this piece of real estate a good investment​

Especially, when we enter into the combination of robotics and AI. That’s when things start coming interesting. Surgeons, replaced. All doctors, why not. Elon is very supportive of that. Consultants. Caregivers. And so on. Robots and AI will take all jobs. This time is different… Of course! Like the steam machine. Like the automobile. Like...

Last year, kindercare official picture, Christmas party with kids and family, strawberry picking, etc. This year, nothing. Last year, a competent person. This year, someone less so… or with less time… or with more excuses. No matter your contract. Your organization chart. Your incentives. Your whatever. People continue to be the key for success. Still companies squeeze to the bone salaries and benefits, and treat people like commodities… And honestly, they are not. At least, not yet… who...

I signed the contract on Monday. On Wednesday, I received a welcome email – I’m your personal property manager. Next day – Mail. We are talking care of connecting utilities. Later mail: Done!
