"I track my time, set daily and weekly objectives, and succeed on them roughly 70% of the time. If I start getting into a groove where I’m succeeding at 100%, I up the difficulty until I’m back around 70%."
I'm inclined to listen to Sebastian because he seems smarter and more energetic, but it'd be nice if each one bragged about their achievements more so I could make a more informed decision.
On the other hand , if you read sebastian's page, you get the impression of a guy that talks a lot("I’ve been working and training to be the most skilled strategist of our era."), and travels , but with out difficult achievements in his past.
Do you really need someone to tell you who to listen to? These are blogs, not dogmas. Leo Babuta is popular because he has managed to transform his life significantly, while still dealing with something like six kids (I loose count). He has a lot of really thoughtful posts on his site. I'm not familiar with the other person you refer to, but it isn't in any way a competition. Take what works and leave what doesn't.
Why down vote the commenter? Seems like a valid question.
I've known a lot of people who have great opinions and ideas and are very talented at communicating but who otherwise haven't accomplished very much. Or, as I've recently heard a career strategy, "If you're not good at doing, then teach, and if you're not good at teaching, then consult."
The reason I ask is so I know who to listen to.

"Only let yourself do 50-75 percent of what you want to do."
