A short YouTube talk by Nate Tilley offering advice to entrepreneurs: prioritize managing your energy (health, exercise) over simply managing time. The speaker recounts starting his first business at 23, overworking and neglecting health, and argues that improving health—e.g., exercising three times per week—acts as a force multiplier for business energy and performance.
The biggest realization that I had when it came to my health was managing my energy, not my time. I started my first business when I was 23 years old, fell down a rabbit hole, hustled porn and grinded out. And work as hard as you possibly can in doing so. I left my health just go to the wayside. I was trying to spend every piece of waking time that I had on focusing on my business, reading books, listening to podcasts. Not all hours in the day were equal. Your health is in shambles, then your business is largely going to be in shambles as well. Even if you go to the G just three times per week, you're just going to get a force multiplier on the energy that you put into your business.
