The Rule of 96

You have 24 hours. That is 96 blocks of 15 minutes.

That is your inventory. That is your stock. You are the CEO of You Inc., and you have 96 units of production to sell every single day.

How Most People Go Bankrupt

The average person:

• Sleeps 32 blocks (8 hours) -> Necessary Overhead
• Eats/Commutes 10 blocks -> Maintenance
• Works “Real Job” 32 blocks -> Sold at a discount
• Wastes 22 blocks -> Inventory Theft

If you want to escape the rat race, you cannot afford inventory theft. You cannot afford “The Void”.

The Aggressive Audit

Audit isn’t a timer. It’s a P&L statement for your time.

Every time the timer hits 00:00, you have to account for that inventory. Did you invest it? Did you sell it? Or did you let it rot?

Shortening Feedback Loops

Why 15 minutes? Why not an hour?

Because an hour is too long to lose. If you drift for 10 minutes in an hour block, you write the hour off. “I’ll start fresh at the top of the hour.”

In a 15-minute block, you can’t hide. The deadline is always looming. The pressure is constant.

Pressure creates diamonds. Comfort creates poverty.

Count your blocks.
