Most people obsess over their digital setup but ignore the thing that matters most: physical setup and daily routine.

The core idea: If something is not baked into your routine, it does not compound. Compounding only happens when something is consistently wired in.

Key principles:

• Think in weekly increments, not just daily
• Family and health should be wired into your routine automatically — not treated as projects to decide on each day
• Update your routine at the right cadence: monthly, quarterly, or every 6 months

The creativity connection:
The most successful creative people are not free spirits — they have obsessively refined routines. Structure creates the conditions for creativity.

Career warning: If you are not intentionally building your value, you are compounding in the wrong direction. Outsourcing your thinking makes you weaker over time.
