If you want to get something done, give it to the busiest person in the room.

@schlaf Meditation and reflection journaling helps me understand where I am at, now, and how I might want to move forward.

Hanlon's Razor

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

We shouldn't assume negative intent if there's a viable alternative explanation.

It's is a great way to decouple from strong emotions when receiving a response.

The Optimist Razor

When choosing who to spend time with, prioritize spending more time with optimists.

Think about an idea you'd like to execute. Pessimists will shoot you down. Optimists will support you and encourage you to grow.

Pessimists sound smart, optimists get rich.

@Humanheadhunter Enabling people and giving them space to do great work is paramount.

Companies that treat people like people have a serious competitive edge.

The highest ROI on your time is saying no to things you shouldn’t prioritize. Takes 15 seconds to save an hour!

@Humanheadhunter It's entirely fictional. Important to build your network, skill set, and experience to be able to pivot on a dime when you need to.

@kvlly @Delta It's Cozy Season!

[Robert Charming @Robert_Charming]

Currently, I start each day by tackling my toughest task, which is studying and working on my engineering efforts.

By dedicating time to it at the beginning of the day, I am making progress.

@johnhfio The placebo effect is a real thing.

[Robert Charming @Robert_Charming]

The best career/life advice I ever received?

Fake it until you become it.

Imposter syndrome? Just keep pushing forward. You’ll get more comfortable.

Not sure where to start on a project. Pick any starting point and just do. Things will start to become clearer.
