To effectively pursue the FIRE movement, focus on aggressive savings and investment. Aim to save 50-70% of your income, drastically reducing expenses by minimalistic living and avoiding lifestyle inflation.

Enhancing Willpower with Mini Goal-Setting

Each success acts as a reinforcement, incrementally building your willpower. Renowned psychologist Kelly McGonigal suggests that this method not only boosts willpower but also trains the brain for greater self-control over time. Aligning with the teaching of the Bhagavad Gita, it's about focusing on actions rather than the outcome.
