Shaan Puri interviews Jesse Itzler about his system for planning a fulfilling year. Itzler emphasizes the importance of proactively designing one's life around personal priorities rather than reacting to external demands. His system includes "getting light" by decluttering physical and digital spaces, conducting a personal audit to identify areas needing improvement, and scheduling significant personal events like a "Misogi" (a year-defining challenge) and regular "mini-adventures" before planning work commitments. Itzler also advocates for incorporating new positive habits each quarter and focusing energy on chosen themes while accepting that balance is achieved over the year, not daily. He encourages listeners to avoid setting too many goals and to prioritize experiences and relationships.
