2 Minute Maggi with Naval
Making Maggi started taking exactly 2 minutes the day I finished reading the Almanack of Naval Ravikant.
A few days back it took me >= 10 minutes. But I noticed that Manas could make it in 2 minutes. I asked him yo Manas, what’s your secret.
He said “Look Sankalp, your Maggi is not slow. You are slow. It’s easier to change yourself than to change the world.”
I decided to read @naval immediately.
The meaning of my life now was to make Maggi in 2 minutes.
Every man has two lives, and the second starts when he realizes that it’s possible to make Maggi in 2 minutes.
What changed my game?

Understanding that I was not being true to myself
I was competing with Bunty to make Maggi faster. But I realized that making Maggi is a single-player game!!
Internalising all this led me to cut down the cooking time to 5 minutes.
For going down to 2 minutes, I needed to convince Maggi itself that if it does not cook itself in 2 min, i am gonna ditch it because
