22 Atomic and Simple Rules To Achieve Your Most Ambitious Goals
"A disciplined life is a happy one."
The government has laws, most giant corporations in the world have principles they follow to the core, and even your local mom-and-pop business has a set of guidelines they adhere to.
So why not you? Why not have a personal rulebook that you can always refer back to stay on track?
There's a lot of power in rules. Rules help us focus our efforts, they keep us on track, and they help us avoid making mistakes.
When it comes to achieving our goals, we need all the help we can get. That's why it's crucial to have a set of rules that we can follow to increase our chances of success.
Here are 22 atomic rules that I follow to keep my life on track, and they may help you, too.
1. Don't be a hamster on a wheel.

Rather than working aimlessly, you should take a step back, rest, analyze and then go for the productive work.
