The 3 Alarms: A Simple System to Transform Your Health, Wealth, and Relationships Forever by Eric Partaker

5.0


A Life-Changing Read!


I recently finished reading this book and it has truly transformed the way I approach my health, wealth, and relationships. While I'm not doing the book justice by my condensed comment, here are 10 actionable takeaways that I found particularly enlightening:



  1. - Set alarms throughout your day to remind you to focus on your health, wealth, and relationships.

  2. - Take 100% responsibility for the current state and for making improvements in all aspects of your life.

  3. - Regularly track your progress in health, wealth, and relationships to ensure you're moving towards your goals.

  4. - Develop a routine that promotes peak performance, including getting enough sleep, doing focused work early in the morning, exercising, and practicing a digital sunset.

  5. - Conduct a weekly review where you note your accomplishments, evaluate your performance against your objectives, and plan for the week ahead.

  6. - Learn to grow stronger from stress, shocks, and failures. Embrace the concept of antifragility.

  7. - Apply the concept of marginal gains to your life. Small, consistent improvements can lead to significant results over time.

  8. - Focus on one task at a time to improve productivity and effectiveness. This applies to your work, health routines, and relationship building.

  9. - Apply the 80/20 rule to your life. Identify the 20% of effort that will lead to 80% of the results in your health, wealth, and relationships.

  10. - Define what your best self looks like in terms of health, wealth, and relationships. Then, identify daily actions that demonstrate you are living in alignment with this identity.


I've read other books in this area, like Cal Newport's Deep Work and 7 Habits, and Atomic Habits. This combines valuable insights from those best sellers in a quick and bite-sized way so that you'll find something actionable that you can implement today rather than have to slog through those other books. Thanks Eric!
