I dislike Sam Altman. But he is obviously very smart. Here he explains something important about creative work - you have to spend time thinking about what to work on, you have to spend time in the motivation phase. #MEGAcreativity

Sam Altman on the biggest mistake talented and hard-working people often make “You should have a very high bar for doing anything but thinking about what to work on… Of course that doesn’t work all of the time. At some point, you actually have to go execute. But I often see people who I think are really talented, work super hard, and are super product, not spend any time thinking about what they’re going to work on.” He believes that writing is the best tool for this: “If I have a very hard problem or I’m a little confused about something, I still have not found anything better to do than sit down and make myself write it out… It is a super powerful thinking tool.” Video source: @david_perell (2024)
