He was tired of hearing about other people’s exciting lives and decided to jump-start his own by taking steps to actually live as if the end was in sight. He tattooed his deadline on his butt and made the sole purpose of his life to complete his Life List (a list of more than 150 life goals). While pursuing his list, he inadvertently became a minimalist in order to gain the necessary focus to create a more meaningful life. This seemingly small change in mindset (which he later detailed in the book The Minimalist Mindset ) dramatically changed his life for the better. As of 2017, Dover has completed his entire Life List (which included living alone in the wilderness for a month, traveling to nearly 100 countries, mountain climbing in Antarctica, becoming a best-selling author, etc.) Items Mentioned in this Show: Sponsored message: Document Standard Operating Procedures with SweetProcess Danny’s Website: Life Listed Danny’s Book: The Minimalist Mindset Some videos that inspire Danny: This is Water by David Foster Wallace and Gunther Holtorf’s 23 year road trip App: Cliff Notes App: InboxZero App: SaneBox Book: The Alchemist by Paolo Coelho Organization: HOBY, Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership System: Glicko-2 System: Elo Website: Chess.com Prior episode: 146: Accessing Your Brain’s Hidden Potential with Dr. Barbara Oakley View transcript, show notes, and links at http://AwesomeAtYourJob.com/ep277 .
