## Highlights
- Most people get a job to make money, and then design their lifestyle around their job. And many are miserable because of it.
- **Humans aren’t meant to work forty hours and then “live for the weekend.”**
- Leverage has changed the game. You can now design your lifestyle first, and then find the right leveraged career that suits you.
- Here’s entrepreneur Daniel Vassallo advocating for this on Twitter:
  “I want my work to help me design my preferred lifestyle, not my work to dictate what my lifestyle can be… The biggest opportunity cost is enduring a lifestyle you dislike…Thinking about opportunity cost in terms of earning potential is missing the point. If you're enduring an existence you dislike, you're missing out on a lifestyle that matches your true preferences. That's the real opportunity cost.”
- My preferred lifestyle has a lot of free time - for thinking, for walking, for exercise, etc.
- I’m judged on my output, not hours worked.
## New highlights added March 23, 2022 at 5:40 PM
- writing has loads of free time built in. You only have 3-4 hours of solid creativity available per day, so once that’s burned, you’re freed up.
