Bryan Johnson says his optimized routine captures 99% of performance gains, but a simpler version still delivers 80% with far less effort. For entrepreneurs, prioritizing consistent sleep matters more than grinding longer hours. Sleep makes you smarter, more emotionally balanced, and wiser.
Do you think you could have achieved the success that you did at Braintree with the schedule you currently have, the regime, the protocol that you're currently following?
Yes, that I could do the power laws of what I'm doing now like right now the what I do tries to capture 99% of the gains, but you can dial it back and get 80% of the gains with substantially left less effort. Just getting over the mental block. Prioritizing bedtime and getting a good night's sleep is more important than staying up late and grinding on work. That you will be actually more intelligent, more emotionally balanced and have better wisdom if you actually sleep. We are so intoxicated by this idea that lack of sleep is somehow of greater value. So if you need to carve out an extra hour in your day to say no to one meeting or you need to become more efficient or move something away from your life, never compromise on sleep. And I bet you that you will be a better entrepreneur if you do that.
