An idea I’m implementing in my life: The 1-6-4 Method. Popularized by entrepreneur and author Jesse Itzler, it’s a foolproof way to make sure you always have fun planned throughout the year. 1. Plan one big “year-making” event This is inspired by the Japanese concept of Misogi (a challenging annual endeavor). Pick one massive defining challenge or event for the year that pushes you to grow past your limits: • A long endurance event (like a marathon) • A big personal project (like finally starting that side business) • Something transformative (like a multi-day solo backpacking trip) This’ll act as the anchor for your year. 2. Schedule 6 mini-adventures for every other month Lock in one small, exciting experience every other month (6 per year): • Going camping at a national park • Traveling on vacation to a place you’ve never been • Attending a music festival where your favorite artist is performing • Hosting a group of friends for a dinner party and game night • Explore a new part of your city that you’ve always wanted to visit 3. Implement a winning habit every quarter Add one positive, compounding habit every 3 months (4 per year). It could be drinking more water, walking 10k steps per day, meditating, being on time, or any small routine that improves your life. These are your building blocks for long-term growth. — We’ve become bad at leisure. The digital world isn’t bringing as much joy to our lives. Having alternative choices (using the 1-6-4 Method) to look forward to throughout the year makes life so much more enjoyable. And remember: Put these on your calendar so they actually happen rather than staying as ideas. Cheers to more joy this year and beyond. 🥂 ♻️ Retweet to share this with your network. ➕ Follow @SystemSunday for more content like this.
