According to Derek Sivers, you should be optimizing your life for one thing — but that one thing is a different thing for each person.

In this conversation, Nate and Jason discuss what they’re currently optimizing for, what they’ve optimized for in the past, and how those decisions have evolved over time.

Additional topics (tangents?) include:

- giving yourself the freedom to continue

- avoiding mediocrity

- the unexpected side benefits of optimizing our lives
