ADVICE

Treat Relationships Like Compound Interest Investments

  • Do measure nonfinancial wealth (relationships, purpose, health) with simple daily actions just like you track money.
  • Sahil suggests tiny repeated acts — short texts, two-minute conversations, daily habits — compound like investments over years.
ADVICE

Use An Energy Calendar To Protect Your Time

  • Do color-code your weekly calendar to spot what creates or drains energy: green for energizing, yellow for neutral, red for draining.
  • Sahil Bloom advises this visual audit lets you reduce red activities and lean into people and tasks that consistently boost your mood.
ADVICE

Schedule Regular Think Days To Find Your Next Move

  • Do a monthly or quarterly Think Day to zoom out from daily noise and answer big-picture life questions.
  • Sahil's signature prompt: If you're the main character, ask what the audience would scream at you to do right now to reveal obvious next actions.
