Hey @googlecalendar @Google Can the Google Calendar, website view, allow an 8 day view?
This would allow an event to be dragged from say Monday this week, to Monday of the coming week…. Etc, etc.
(Similar to the way there is a ….3, 4, 5, 6, 7 day view…)
Thanks!

When you're lacking motivation, remind yourself: discipline now, freedom later. The labor will pass, and the rewards will last.

It just doesn’t matter! It just doesn’t matter!”

• People worry about dumb stuff
• In the grand scheme, you're nothing
• Think less of yourself
• Remember: you'll die one day

Now go do epic stuff.

There were a lot of actors that are more talented than me who quit it before they even got to a paying status. Weird luck. I had no other option”

1. Society is full of quitters
2. Stick around long enough
3. Make sure to iterate
4. Experiment

Happy people don't give up easily

Tell everyone you're retiring

“I’ve retired a couple of times. It’s great, because you can just say, ‘Oh, I’m sorry. I’m retired.”

1. It's a nice way to screen opportunities
2. People think you're more successful than reality

Retire to spend more time with family = Happiness

38 years into his career, Jerry Seinfeld was asked how his writing process had evolved.

“It’s the exact same,” he said. “I do the exact same now as when I was 21 in 1975.”

Doing the same thing each day for 38 years, the interviewer said, “sounds torturous.”

Seinfeld replied,

“It is...It's like going into the gym every day—you know how you walk in every day, and you go, 'oh geez, I gotta do this again?"

Interviewer: Yeah, it sounds like a tortured life.

Seinfeld: But you know what? Your blessing in life is when you find the torture you’re comfortable with. And that’s marriage, it’s kids, it’s work, it’s exercise, it’s not eating the food you want to eat—Find the torture you’re comfortable with, and you’ll do well.”

Takeaway 1:

Starting the early 1980’s, the sociologist Daniel Chambliss spent five years studying swimmers at every level of ability: from regional swim teams to the U.S. Olympic Team.

Then in 1989, he published his research in a paper titled, “The Mundanity of Excellence.”

Essentially, Chambliss found that Olympic champions don’t train more than the average swimmer. Instead, they train differently. In particular, they do “what others see as boring.”

Chambliss tells the story of a group of coaches from around the world visiting a U.S. Olympic Team practice. “The visiting coaches were excited at first…then soon they grew bored, walking back and forth, glancing down at their watches, wondering when something dramatic was going to happen.”

“They all have to come to see what we do,” the U.S. Olympic Team coach told Chambliss. “They think we have some big secret.”

When asked in another interview about the secret to his success, Seinfeld quoted what the swimmer Katie Ledecky said after winning 4 gold medals at the Rio Olympics: “The secret is there is no secret.”

“There’s nothing you have to know,” Seinfeld said. “You just have to work.”

You just have to do the mundane, boring, torturous work, day after day.

Takeaway 2:

In his essay “How To Do Great Work,” Paul Graham writes,

“One sign that you’re suited for some kind of work is when you like even the parts that other people find tedious.”

Find the mundane, boring, tedious, torturous work you like, and you’ll do well.
