I chanced upon Lex Fridman, an AI scientist doing research at MIT, and became rather fascinated with how he’s chosen to structure his life. His methodology might seem rigid at first glance, but on closer inspection, it actually helps to one prioritise tasks, create meaning and purpose through the pursuit of goals, as well as allow for moments of humanistic joy,

Increasingly, the idea of this structure appeals to me because society’s expectations of us have changed, and yet we try to apply an antiquated paradigm to define a life well-lived. I’m not saying that Lex’s method is the only way, or the new way, but if you listen to what he’s actually saying, it’s that your life is up to you to define, and that you should take charge of your own destiny. I just like the sound of that.
