Please give me twenty minutes to fix your consistency problem.

I’m a big fan of Tim Ferriss and he speaks a lot about the minimum effective dose. Lately I’ve been applying this to my life where all my habits that I’ve always wanted to start, I commit to doing 20 minutes of it, no more no less. Maybe on a good day I’ll do more, but I try to do them consistently 20 minutes a day. This includes editing, filming, training for my Ironman 70.3, cooking, reading, just anything that I want to do to better myself in for the future, and it has changed my view on self-improvement entirely and I just want to share. Because it kind of changed my life

And on that note, I also want to give credit where credit is due to the book The War of Art. In the book, the author speaks a lot about resistance, and defines resistance as that thing you know you could give to the world, that you could maybe become better at, even to the smallest degree.

It’s really helped me with my resistance towards self-doubt I had in ever achieving a physique I could be proud of, towards starting a business, towards even the smallest things like calling my family when I need to.

So yeah, I don’t know, it’s just been on my mind lately and I want to share.

Question on Wetsuits

Recently, I started looking for my first sweatsuit, and a friend of mine told me that expensive what suits don’t make you as buoyant as midtier wetsuits? Apparently high end are made to make professionals faster and mid tier more buoyant. The experience of buying my wetsuit was really nice I learned so much

This weekend I went to Spain with my cousin and we hiked on an abandoned railroad track. For many years, this abandoned railroad was hiked illegally, which is crazy to think of because there are over 20 tunnels and seven suspension bridges that could be incredibly dangerous if not properly maintained. Today, there is a shuttle that will take you back to the start, but imagine before that. After the 17 km hike, you’d have to walk all the way back. Although the hike is in Spain, it is on the Portuguese and Spanish border, and we only drove in Spain for three minutes. On one hand, I thought the views were absolutely stunning, but on the other hand, for eight euro and the amount of staff that worked there, I didn’t like the fact that there was no water on the hike. I understand you may be thinking, “it’s a hike, you should plan ahead,” but since there is an actual team there, I thought it was a bit weird. Also, there is a cafeteria, but the cafeteria only accepts cash and has a huge sign on the door saying that the bathroom is only for customers, and all others will be kicked out, which I thought was a bit cruel because it was literally the only place within that entire hike where water was even remotely available. But anyways, I thought it was a beautiful hike nonetheless

What if getting better didn’t require hours every day?

This is the strategy I’ve been testing: just 20 minutes.

Inspired by Timothy Ferriss and the idea of the minimum effective dose, I’ve started applying a simple rule to my training—show up every day for 20 minutes, no matter what.

About a year ago, I did this with running, and it completely changed how I think about consistency. Now I’m using the same approach as I train for an Ironman, starting with swimming.

No perfect plan. No long sessions.
Just consistency.

This video is the beginning of that experiment.
