The biggest question is by supporting more creators does quality bar across the board go up? More junk is made for sure but, I think yes, quality goes up.
SO excited to read Angelas new book Situated! Grit was one of my all time favs and perfectly captured what we in early startup (2010s) world would have called "HUSTLE or GRIND"... its also wild how much the topic of Angela's new book is so much on my mind these days. One of our cultural values at Saltwater is "Business is People" ... people matter in EVERYTHING, and who you put on your team, who you partner with, who you do deals with says everything about who you are and who you'll become...Amazon can't deliver it fast enough... #ordered
Ten years ago, I published Grit. In those pages, I wrote down everything I’d discovered about world-class achievers and how passion and perseverance set them apart.
Since then I’ve been studying the situations that make world-class achievement possible.
My research shows that the situation shapes you—but you have the power to shape it first. How?
1. Set up your personal space.
2. Pick your peers.
3. Attract mentors.
4. Choose your culture.
Getting situated means finding the people and places that bring out your best.
Grit is great, but to realize your potential, you also need to get situated.
Pre-order Situated. Out September 1st.

Great feedback thx
App blocking was borked bc an apple approval, should be fixed tomorrow
Goal is to give flexibility based on whatever drives the most accountability for you
If screen/social use isn’t it then i want an bunch of options, great meditation comes form just doing it more which is the core goal
Thx for trying it out!
the problem with meditation apps, is they all focus on gurus and guides, coaching and content... i wanted quiet, but i need accountability to get there.
that's where The Sit is focused. getting you to sit, close your eyes, quiet your mind, and grow.
The Sit will block your social apps until you meditate, it will help you find an accountability partner OR a group of fellows, OR you can commit $'s that you earn back if you sit, and lose if you don't. accountability is what matters, consistency is the result. it's working for me.
the priority is taking your 5, or 10, or 20 mins (i recommend starting small) for yourself to setup your mind for the day ahead. the wisdom is ageless, the answer is there, you just need The Sit.

I'd rather deal with a guy with an IQ of 130 who thinks its 125, then a guy with an IQ of 180 who thinks its 200. That second guy will kill you.
