I have a term I use for myself called "truth in boxes", which are the truths that are so powerful that we keep them locked away in boxes because otherwise they'll force us to re-evaluate the rest of our lives. Which can be exhausting. Typically we hit "remind me later" on these

A simple but powerful truth I keep in a box is "sleep is the bottleneck limiting your brain's performance". Understanding this intellectually is easy; rearchitecting the rest of your life to accommodate it is hard. I know it's stupid
