Delete every KPI you track, and re-add only what someone can prove actually changes a real decision.

Each December, classify 50 people: adds/drains/neutral — adjust your time.

Repeat the same refusal in the same words calmly, no matter how the other person reshapes the pressure.

Each policy override: log why, who approved, when reviewed.

30 days before audit: self-review controls — find gaps before auditor does.

Monthly review 3 questions about what actually gets time — kids or work.

Delete any app unopened in 30 days — lose apps before they cost you focus.

Don't subscribe to a new tool before truly using it 14 days in real workflow.

Each month's start, search your name on Google and review the first 3 result pages.

Replace all reused passwords in 30 days. One manager, one strong master.

Enable 2FA on email, bank, social, cloud. TOTP not SMS. Backup codes saved.

Every 6 months, download backup from Google/Apple/Meta. Backup + your right.

Every browser extension can read your visible pages. Delete what you haven't used in 30 days.

On public WiFi: always VPN + no banking + 2FA even if feeling safe.

Phone encrypted by default, but your laptop? Check. If stolen, data exposed.

Before adding a new tool, verify it doesn't duplicate a job an existing tool already does — overlap costs more time and money than it saves.

Review every app with access to camera, microphone, location, or contacts, and revoke every permission not actually needed.
