If you don’t prioritize, everything seems urgent and important.

If you define the single most important task for each day, almost nothing seems urgent or important.

Oftentimes, it’s just a matter of letting little bad things happen (return a phone call late and apologize, pay a small late fee, lose an unreasonable customer, etc.) to get the big important things done.

The answer to overwhelm is not spinning more plates—or doing more—it’s defining the few things that can really fundamentally change your business and life.

I’m in love with this sentence:

“Your future is shaped by the habits you repeat, not the goals you set.”

My favorite quote from Atomic Habits by James Clear:

"It doesn't make sense to continue wanting something if you're not willing to do what it takes to get it.
If you don't want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire.
To crave the result but not the process is to guarantee disappointment."

If you’re young (or not) and thinking about where to focus your career, pick a market that’s growing over one that’s shrinking. You’ll have a lot more opportunities and get a lot farther with the same amount of effort.

The internet killed the yellow pages. Netflix killed Blockbuster.

Will NFTs kill traditional art?

Everyone wants a piece of the reward, no one wants a piece of the risk.

[Tim Urban @waitbutwhy]

A batter who averages 4 hits every 20 at-bats is out of a job.

One who averages 5/20 is mediocre.

6/20, an all-star.

7/20, the league MVP.

There's probably some area of your life you're going 4/20 and feel hopeless. But upping your game just a little might change everything.

1/ People misunderstand space and its implications. Since the Apollo project, focusing on space has allowed engineers and scientists to push the boundaries of the possible.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a $54 billion behemoth.

It's bigger than Marriott, Netflix, and Twitter...combined.

Yet 99% of us don't actually understand the business.

I was never into stocks until I worked at the NYSE. I was never into start-ups until I had to pitch founders. I was never into e-commerce until I joined Fast.

You have no clue what you’re into, so try lots of things.

Lifelong learning is a competitive advantage.

But contrary to what you’ve been told, lifelong learners are built, not born.

My best career advice:

At every job you should either learn or earn. Either is fine. Both is best. But if it's neither, quit.

I think about this Wayne Gretzky quote all the time:

“A good hockey player plays where the puck is. A great hockey player plays where the puck is going to be.”

So simple, yet it applies to so many disciplines outside of sports.

[Paul Graham @paulg]

It's true: playing the long game is a huge advantage, especially in a world filled with people who aren't.
All the really successful founders are playing the long game. Maybe all the really successful people in any field.
