Hey friend,

It's officially Fall (or Summer 2.0 in SoCal). We wrapped up an incredible 3-day bootcamp with 2,200 RadReaders and we've opened enrollment for our 11th Cohort of Supercharge Your Productivity.

Supercharge your Productivity is the only course that connects the pursuit of productivity to life’s larger questions so you can design a system that works for you.

You’ll learn how to:

• Get more done (by working smarter)
• Think bigger (versus making smaller things better)
• Stop putting things off until some imaginary future date
• Invest in improving your mind, career and relationships

​

Plus, you'll join a world-class (and ridiculously kind) group of professionals representing some of the world's most iconic institutions. They are founders, artists, educators, lawyers, doctors, activists, investors, Olympians, civil servants, engineers, small business owners, philanthropists, and more.

Time management doesn’t work. Try this instead.

If everyone has the same number of hours in the day, why do some people seem to get so much more done than others?

We've heard all the platitudes about everyone having the same 24 hours and time being a finite resource.

And to get more done you'll hear the same advice: wake up earlier or use a Text Expander to skip a few keystrokes.

Yet deep inside, we know that this won't put a dent on endless to-do lists.

Instead, we need a new approach to time management.

Here are this week's top reads:

Four great decisions

4 minutes | Nat Eliason
​

The magic of $10K Work is the ability to pinpoint with precision what moves the needle — and what’s just plain-old noise. I had never extended that thinking into decision-making. In a world where we make dozens of decisions a day (and maybe 3,000 per year) — what if only a handful really mattered?

What Quiet Quitting Looks Like in Relationships

3 minutes | Psychology Today
​

Lisa and I always say that we fear a loveless marriage. It turns out quiet quitting doesn’t just happen in the workplace - it can happen in our personal relationships as well. The technical term: romantic disentanglement. Unsurprisingly, this type of compartmentalizing turns out to be pretty terrible for our emotional well-being. So either bring your whole self, or be brave enough to truly quit it.

47 minutes | Free Time Podcast

The new, subtle ways the rich signal their wealth

4 minutes | BBC Worklife
​

For so many years, the elite flexed their “high-status” through conspicuous consumption — material objects and shiny new toys. Public displays of wealth are changing though, and the top 1% aren't spending as much on material goods, instead focusing on services, education, and human-capital investments aka inconspicuous consumption. In this new world, to be elite is to know the right New Yorker articles to read, the correct brand of free-range eggs to choose at the farmer’s market, and that quinoa is a must-have in your toddler’s lunchbox.

All the personal-finance books are wrong

3 minutes | The Atlantic
​

Personal finance advice is confusing and often downright contradicting. Economics tend to offer rational advice, while best selling authors try and offer practical advice. At the core, the distinction is really a philosophical one — often a debate over delayed gratification vs. enjoying your life right now. What do the best personal finance books do? They blend theory and psychology and take human nature seriously.
