Hey friends, this video is about how to change your life in just four hours using something I call a Think Day. It’s inspired by Bill Gates’ “Think Week,” where he credited some of Microsoft’s biggest breakthroughs to taking time away just to think. I’ll walk you through how I run my own Think Day here in Hong Kong, the prompts I use, and why I believe the quality of our decisions really does dictate the quality of our lives. Hope you enjoy xx

So this is a video about how to change your life. And in the video I want to talk you through the think day method where in about 4 hours you can drastically change the trajectory of your life. You guys know Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft. He had this practice and he would call it a think week where once or twice a year he would go off to a cabin in the woods for a whole week. He would clear his calendar. He would get a private chef. They would private chat would bring him food and stuff and he would just use that week to read and to think. And Bill Gates actually credits quite a lot of Microsoft's most like best innovations and stuff to this think week practice where he's just sort of sitting in this cabin and doing a lot of thinking and making decisions. Now, most of us probably don't have a whole week to take off to go to a cabin in the woods to to make these sorts of decisions. And so, there's a technique that I came across in my friend Sahil's Bloom's book, Five Types of Wealth, which is called a think day. And the reason I want to do a think today for me today is because there are a bunch of decisions that I need to make about my business and about my life. And if I make the right kind of decision in this kind of moment, then honestly, it could be worth millions to tens of millions of dollars if we just think in terms of like monetary ROI. That's what we're doing in this video. I want to talk you through my personal approach to the Think a Day method. And instead of just sitting at my desk and telling you about it, we thought we'd go to a place in Hong Kong that I've never been before. And I want to show you the actual journaling prompts that I have gotten incredible value out out of over the years. I would say that these journaling prompts that I'm going to share with you are things that I have used repeatedly to change my life in increasingly positive directions....
