On “Dreamlining” (a la Timothy Ferriss)

Why? You don’t want to be rich and bored. You want rich and happy. Boredom is the antonym of happiness. If there were no hold-backs, what do you want to do, have, or learn in the next 3 months, 6 months or 1 year? If you don’t know what to do, determine what do you want to be? We can rewrite be as actionable steps towards doing.
You must name your enemy before you can defend against it. You must define your future before you can take action. Only after this identification process can you move towards your goals. If you so much as complete one dream, that’s a dream that wouldn’t have come true without taking action. Do it. It’s doable. Think Nike®.
