I'm not a big believer in long-term planning and far-off goals. In fact, I generally set 3-month and 6-month dreamlines. The variables change too much and in-the-future distance becomes an excuse for postponing action.

More quotes by Tim Ferriss
Age doesn't matter. An open mind does.
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
The book is first and foremost something I made for myself.
Tim Ferriss
Just a few words on time management: forget all about it.
Tim Ferriss
I think about willpower almost never. I realize for myself, trying to be more disciplined is pretty nebulous and it's often a slippery target. For me, I've just thought about incentives.
Tim Ferriss
The only rules and limits are those we set for ourselves
Tim Ferriss
Slow down and remember this: Most things make no difference.
Tim Ferriss
For most people, life would be boring without meaningful work.
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 question you should be asking isn't, What do I want? or What are my goals? but What would excite me?
Tim Ferriss
I always point people to the article '1,000 True Fans' by Kevin Kelly. If you choose your thousand ideal customers or readers properly and find the single author blog that targets that audience, you never have to do any more marketing. You're done. That is a lesson that very few product developers and marketers have learned, and it's unfortunate.
Tim Ferriss
I'm not a fan of idleness, except in small doses.
Tim Ferriss
I take notes like some people take drugs.
Tim Ferriss
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.
Tim Ferriss
Avoid results-by volume approach, instead focus on few critically important but uncomfortable actions.
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
The fishing is best where the fewest go and the collective insecurity of the world makes it easy for people to hit home runs while everyone is aiming for base hits.
Tim Ferriss
Online I see people committing 'social media suicide' all the time by one of two ways. Firstly by responding to all criticism, meaning you're never going to find time to complete important milestones of your own, and by responding to things that don't warrant a response. This lends more credibility by driving traffic.
Tim Ferriss
The downstream effects are unknown. Do your best and hope for the best. If you're improving the world-however you define that-consider your job well done.
Tim Ferriss
There are two components that are fundamental to enjoy life and feel good about yourself: continual learning and service.
