Tim Ferriss has built a media empire around helping people become their best selves as efficiently as possible. His advice is dispensed via his blog (2M+ readers per month), TV show, podcast, social media and, of course, his 4-Hour books, which have been translated into 30+ languages and spent years on bestseller lists. In other words, the man knows a thing (or 10) about how to live a carefully crafted life. You can now find some of his top recommended products on Kit.
It’s the start of a New Year, and Tim wants to help you become the best version of yourself. You can win a kit worth up to $500 to help get you there — read below to find out how.
Contest Overview
You may be familiar with one of Tim’s theories called the “Minimum Effective Dose,” or MED for short. The MED is the smallest dose of something (medicine, exercise, activity, gear, etc.) that will produce the outcome you want, or, say, 80% of it.
Your challenge is to create a Minimum Effective Dose kit for any skill, hobby or activity you know extremely well. In total, the items in the kit should not cost more than $500. For instance, what is the MED of gear for outdoor photography? Or for CrossFit, cross-stitching, or DJing? Oil painting or dog training? Anything goes, as long as you know the skill well… and the total cost of everything combined is $500 or less.
