You need a quest. It's tempting to pursue ease, but one thing I've come to learn: The easy life can quickly start to feel like the meaningless life. The least happy people I know are those who lack challenging quests in their lives. There's nothing better than hard-earned progress. The struggle. The pain. The grit. The resilience. And then, the breakthrough. The knowledge that you paid the cost of entry to achieve the growth you went after. Hard, meaningful quests are good for the soul. Learn a new skill. Start a side business. Travel to a new place with no plans. Take on a difficult physical endeavor. Just do something hard. You need a quest.

The ultimate life hack: Quiet progress. No announcement. No hype. No applause. Learn to work without validation. Build when nobody’s watching. Write when nobody’s reading. Train when nobody’s cheering. It doesn’t take talent, just courage. Quiet progress creates loud results.

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

A lesson I wish I learned earlier: Patience is active, not passive. It’s working without validation. Holding the line when nothing seems to be happening. Trusting the process when the rewards are uncertain. Passive patience is a myth. Real patience demands daily action.

Chrs Lockhart (story editor of WME) is all for this. He reckons if the logline doesn't work, the script will be bad. Haha.

[Tom Vaughan @storyandplot]

If you want to sell your screenplay, don't write 100 pages and then try to condense it into a logline.

Write a fantastic logline, and expand it out to 100 pages instead.

That process alone will significantly improve your odds of success.
