Take your life to the next level.
Rob Dyrdek is optimizing his life to be happy.
Pretty cool.
Rob is probably most famous for his show on MTV, Ridiculousness.
Fun fact, Rob has never watched a single episode of his show straight through. Probably because he’s too busy creating new content.
Rob’s favorite things? Creating and optimizing.
Same, Rob, same. Hopefully you’re into that as well. If so, this article is for you.
Start here.
Rob suggests asking yourself what you want your routines to look like every day.
Now, create a routines doc and start with 10 minutes of listing areas where you would like to build routines.
Examples may be: morning routine, evening routine, family routine, health routines, etc.
Typically he gets up at 4am and gets all his shit done by 5pm so he can spend the evenings with his wife and kids.
Rob doesn’t work at night. Except for once a week when he has big projects going on.
Connecting with his family is a priority, so he shows it.
This quote: “Yeah. Look, I call it a “machine mindset.” You know what I mean?
“Machine Method” is my system for building companies. Machine mindset is how I live.
It’s this idea of “How do you create systems? Then how do you add systems to systems and then optimize those systems?”
Because ultimately, the systems and the automation allow things to become effortless. The more things that you turn effortless, the more time you have to put the energy into the stuff that you want to create.”
Rob has a 70 page operating manual for his life that automates most of it so he can focus on what gives him energy.
You probably won’t do all that, but can you do some version of it.
I’ve done a more chill version of the Life Optimization System.
And this quote: “Look, I am optimized towards life mastery. You’ve got to understand, I’m someone that tracks every hour of the day, what I do every single hour.
