    The 80% full thing reminds me of something very important in the battery industry. If you charge a battery to 100% and discharge it to 0%, you can do that about 300 times. Taking the same battery from 100% to 20% pushes that 300 to 3000. And then again, with just going from 80% to 20%, this is raised yet again to just over 20000. This is why in the industry, we program batteries to not fully charge or discharge- to increase lifespan. Your battery isn't actually dying faster, but the hardware breaks the circuit to preserve the longevity of the battery. Unless you work on batteries or hardware, you probably didn't know that.
    Consider applying this wisdom from a battery engineer into your life :)

      This is so fascinating!! Does this method have a name? How do you program a battery not to end as soon? I have so many questions ...

      @@aurorasheadspace to answer your first question: in my lab, and amongst my peers, we unimaginatively call it, "cycle-limiting", which conveys the meaning well enough.
      To answer the second: the charging and discharging of a battery is not linear. Towards the high and low ends, we start to encounter what I call, "electrochemical hysteresis", where the linearity goes away, and the discharge rate suddenly flattens, or the charging rate plateaus. Some very smart electrical engineers noticed this, and decided that if the electrical flow is behaving in this abnormal way, that will be set as the 100% or the 0% mark, which are more accurately, closer to 80% and 20% of the battery's actual loading capacity, respectively.

    Diving into Ikigai is such a game-changer. Here's a tip I've woven into my life from it: I start each day by asking myself what small thing I can do that aligns with my Ikigai. Whether it’s creating content that I’m passionate about, learning a new skill, or helping someone out, it keeps me grounded and focused. This simple daily practice has not only boosted my productivity but also my overall happiness. It's about making every day count towards living a life that’s truly fulfilling. Your video's a great reminder of the power of living with purpose. Great video and Keep up the awesome work!

    Great video. Yes, all of these points seem like common sense but you need to hear it on a regular basis to be willing to implement them. Several points I would add
    1. Intermittent fasting- Have a light breakfast, skip lunch and have a early dinner. The older you get the less you should eat.
    2. Take daily naps instead of having lunch. If you wake up at 7 AM and go bed at 11 PM that is too many hours to be functional for without a sleep break. People who don't nap usually crash at about 4PM and need heavy motivation/caffeine to work at night.
    3. Daily mediation or religious prayer can give you peace and comfort to know are being protected.
    4. Good people in your life if you are so lucky most especially if you have a supportive spouse that deeply loves you.

    The concept of Ikigai and its impact on longevity is truly fascinating. For entrepreneurs, finding your Ikigai can be closely tied to your business success, but remember, it's also about balance. Integrating the Okinawa Diet's principles with mindful business practices can lead to not just a longer life, but a more fulfilling entrepreneurial journey.

      Life is limited and unpredictable. I would never sacrifice my time for more money. I retired at 45, and I have more financial security at 62. I could have a lot more money if I worked more years but I have enjoyed total freedom for many years already.

    They want you to have Ikigai in your job in Japan; it means that you have to work with 100% commitment to them, sacrificing your private life. There is no end for businesses to pop up that gets you into "Black company " , illegally forcing you into excessive work load making people Karoshi.

    Do not believe what they say but do so what you see. Once you get in, you will suffer mental depression.
