“Your net worth to the world is usually determined by what remains after your bad habits are subtracted from your good ones.” Benjamin Franklin

I believe that this idea — addition isn’t possible without subtraction — is the root cause of all failed good intentions and ambitious goals.

To gain a new mindset you need to repeatedly practice habits. Habits, not ideas, are the programming language of human beings.

You can trade time for money (we call this a job) and you can trade money for time (we call this convenience).
