Episode 3423: James Altucher challenges the habit-driven productivity mindset, arguing that rigid routines can dull our senses, limit growth, and even harm our health.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://jamesaltucher.com/blog/habits-make-stupid/ Quotes to ponder: "Being present in every new moment forces the universe to deliver up a new experience on your plate of life." "If you do the same thing every day, the brain shuts down during those activities, and it feels like just seconds have gone by when you think about it later." "To live long, to be smart, to live healthy, to have fun variety should be the spice of life." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
