The Man Who’s Hated by the God of Failure
Jack Estenson, The Man Who’s Hated by the God of Failure
HOW TO ALWAYS BE ON TIME
“I never lose,” says Jack Estenson, who I would’ve initially written off as a simple-as-that hotshot, while describing himself as the man who’s never been late. I couldn't believe it, as someone who’d never thought of going more than a week without being late to class, work, or other.
He has a supreme ability, a freakish talent, even. To never once in his entire life be late. The organizing, planning, and executing involved would scare off all others from such a difficult task, but not Estenson. He’s built different… Even in birth, due date, due time. But how can we, in some sense, replicate this unfathomable ability? Let’s get into it.
Step 1: Understand your surroundings. Your greatest enemy will be yourself. Set alarms, go to sleep on time, and FOLLOW YOUR SCHEDULE! Wake, shower, eat, feed the dog, and leave for school 20 minutes early.
Step 2: Never double-book. Estenson finds managing his schedule a trivial act, but understands if it doesn’t come naturally to everyone. So, the technique is simple, know your own schedule like the back of your hand. As an example, for school: wake, shower, eat, drive. All at the same time everyday.
This man’s mysterious techniques allow for him, and maybe, if we follow close enough, us too to make it on time. Victory is just one step away, and the final step is always a mix of confidence and motivation.
