More quotes by Tim Ferriss
When you elevate the heels more so than you elevate the sole of the foot, you trigger a cascade of compensations in the knees and hips that cause tight hip flexors, and then those hip flexors cause lower-back pain.
Tim Ferriss
I think time management as a label encourages people to view each 24-hour period as a slot in which they should pack as much as possible.
Tim Ferriss
Most people can do absolutely awe-inspiring things. Sometimes they just need a little nudge.
Tim Ferriss
Learn the art of the pitch and of messaging.
Tim Ferriss
There are tons of things in your home and life that you don't use, need, or even particularly want. They just came into your life as impulsive flotsam and jetsam and never found a good exit. Whether you're aware of it or not, this clutter creates indecision and distractions.
Tim Ferriss
Pacifists become militants. Freedom fighters become tyrants. Blessings become curses. Help becomes hindrance. More becomes less.
Tim Ferriss
Most people are fast to stop you before you get started but hesitate to get in the way if you're moving.
Tim Ferriss
I'm often asked how I define success. It's an overused term, but I fundamentally view this elusive beast as a combination of two things - achievement and appreciation. One isn't enough: Achievement without appreciation makes you ambitious but miserable. Appreciation without achievement makes you unambitious but happy.
Tim Ferriss
Do not overestimate the competition and underestimate yourself. You are better than you think.
Tim Ferriss
Just because you are embarrassed to admit that you're still living the consequences of bad decisions made 5, 10, 20 years ago shouldn't stop you from making good decisions now. If you let pride stop you, you will hate life 5, 10, and 20 years from now for the same reasons.
Tim Ferriss
Avoid results-by volume approach, instead focus on few critically important but uncomfortable actions.
Tim Ferriss
The brain is where most people really screw up.
Tim Ferriss
The problem with New Year's resolutions - and resolutions to 'get in better shape' in general, which are very amorphous - is that people try to adopt too many behavioral changes at once. It doesn't work. I don't care if you're a world-class CEO - you'll quit.
Tim Ferriss
Learn to ask, If this is the only thing I accomplish today, will I be satisfied with my day?
Tim Ferriss
Alternating periods of activity and rest is necessary to survive, let alone thrive. Capacity, interest, and mental endurance all wax and wane. Plan accordingly.
Tim Ferriss
What do you want?' is too imprecise to produce a meaningful and actionable answer.
Tim Ferriss
People are fond of using the its not what you know, its who you know adage as an excuse for inaction, as if all successful people are born with powerful friends. Nonsense.
Tim Ferriss
Believe it or not, it is not only possible to accomplish more by doing less, it is mandatory. Enter the world of elimination.
Tim Ferriss
The least-crowded channel for meeting high profile bloggers is in person. Email is the most difficult, the most crowded... I'm a top 1,000 blogger, not a top 100 blogger, and I get hundreds of pitches by email every week. Most of them I don't even see because my assistant declines them.

As far as income goes, there are three currencies in the world most people ignore two. The three currencies are time, income and mobility, in descending order of importance. Most people focus exclusively on income.
