"There are at least 4 types of wealth:

1. Financial wealth (money)
2. Social wealth (status)
3. Time wealth (freedom)
4. Physical wealth (health)

Be wary of jobs that lure you in with 1 and 2, but rob you of 3 and 4."

This is so very true...

@fortelabs On the upside, and I think you've mentioned this in other venues, you have offered the world something new and beautiful, a way of thinking that will have an impact for as long as there are books. Curious how the long tail works out for you!

The ability to scale oneself as a leader is perhaps the defining characteristic of effectiveness.

[Ray Dalio @RayDalio]

Leverage in an organization is not unlike leverage in the markets; you're looking for ways to achieve more with less. At Bridgewater, I typically worked at about 50:1 leverage, meaning that for every hour I spent with each person who worked for me, they spent about fifty hours working to move the project along. At our sessions, we would go over the vision and the deliverables, then they'd work on them, and then we'd review the work, and they'd move forward based on my feedback—and we'd do that over and over again. The people who worked for me typically had similar relationships with those who worked for them, though their ratios were typically between 10:1 and 20:1. I am always eager to find people who can do things nearly as well as (and ideally better than) I can so that I can maximize my output per hour.

Technology is another great tool for providing leverage. To make training as easy to leverage as possible, document the most common questions and answers through audio, video, or written guidelines, and then assign someone to organize them and incorporate them into a manual, which is updated on a regular basis.

Principles themselves are a form of leverage—they're a way to compound your understanding of situations so that you don't need to exert the same effort each time you encounter a problem. #principleoftheday

After just a few days of watching this (Sam Corcos | Tim Ferriss) my stress levels are down and productivity is up.

I added it into my existing system, which now works like this:

1) Process all email and most messages without doing any of the tasks they contain.

Delete as much as possible (and unsubscribe). Set aside mails you can deal with in moments (using whatever one-touch method your mail app provides). Put anything larger on your task list in whatever ‘Inbox’ location it has, and delete the mail - because that really just means filing it with one touch.

Go back to the mails you set aside and deal with them all. For me, this bit usually takes 5-10 mins.

Sometimes you’ll start what you thought would be a tiny reply, then realise it needs more. Put those on your task list. Don’t get derailed.

Take in the nothingness of your empty Inbox. Breathe.

2) Plan your tasks

Clarify what you need to do for each task, whether it’s related to your important standards or goals, and how long it will take.

Put the important things in your calendar. Make sure you only schedule 50% of your day, to allow for the unexpected. If the task is for someone else, let them know when you’re expecting to have it done.

All the other tasks go in the relevant list, e.g. a project, process, life area, etc. Now forget them until your regular slot for reviewing them.

Witness the emptiness of your priority task list. Breathe.

3) Work from your calendar

Do what you scheduled, when you scheduled it. Adjust the start and finish times to reflect what actually happened, so that over time you improve your ability to predict.

If things go well and you have time available, pull something from tomorrow’s schedule. If things don’t go so well, there’s no need to reschedule everything from then onwards because you already built in space for the unpredictable.

This also has the benefit of giving you the information you need to say ‘no’ more often. Now you can clearly say ‘I’m fully committed’, or negotiate the timings of other things the same person has already asked you to do.

Remember, you didn’t decide how many hours are in a day. It doesn’t make sense for you or anyone else to pressure you to do everything, right now.

It does make sense to commit your finite waking hours to the things that are of most value to you.

Do you remember when you joined Twitter? It does. Apparently I created my account 15 years ago.

One of those days where it takes all the effort to keep my heart from growing harder with cynicism.

Help a friend. Give a hug. Take a moment to push back the dark even just a little.

Reading Hamlet's Hit Points by @RobinDLaws, and watching his interview with @SlyFlourish on "DM's Deep Dive 9 - Story Beats" on YouTube - https://t.co/kXFmECRcD2. It is peeling back a whole layer of impact as a GM.
