The reason you can’t get yourself to do what you need to do is because you’re operating from the limited first person. To get yourself to consistently take action, you must start living from the third person and start viewing yourself like an independent 3rd party.
This way you’ll create separation between you and your character and stop taking the inner dialogue of your character personally. Instead, you’ll start ‘pushing his/her buttons’ like you do with a video game character and that’s when you’ll start flying higher than you ever thought possible.

All is reps. There’s no substitution for reps. 10,000 hours is just a metaphor for reps. Chess is reps. Painting is reps. Thinking, wisdom, even prayer is reps. There’s a reason the French say ‘apprendre par cœur’ (to learn by heart). Repetition itself is the stairway to heaven
I'm begging people to learn systems. Since legacy processes and work itself is going to have emergent forms and life a new meaning, it makes for an obvious choice-sense to have a bird eye view that's sharp and prescient. Whether you are a physicist, an English major, or a cracked engineer, all you need to know is figure how systems work and internalize how they work at granular level
STEAL MY INTERVIEW STRATEGY.
Yes, STEAL it. 😂
These are interview hacks people actually pay me to teach them, but today, I want to give them to you for free.
Hack #1: Start preparing the moment you get the interview date.
Let’s say today is Monday and your interview is Friday.
Do NOT wait until Thursday.
Do NOT wait until Friday morning.
Start preparing on Monday.
Research the company.
Understand the role.
Know what you’re supposed to do in that role to help the company succeed.
Because let’s be honest, they’re not hiring you because they have excess money sitting around.
They’re hiring because there is something they need.
There’s a gap.
There’s a problem.
There’s something they want done better.
And you need to understand what that is and how your experience can help them solve it.
So prepare Monday.
Prepare Tuesday.
Prepare Wednesday.
Prepare Thursday.
Then do a final review on Friday before the interview.
When you prepare this way, something changes.
The interview starts to feel natural.
You’re not rushing to answer questions.
You’re not tense.
You’re not desperately trying to remember what you rehearsed.
You’re having a conversation.
You can think.
You can pause.
You can actually listen to the question before answering it.
And sometimes, you even turn the interview into a discussion because you’re not being shaken by every question.
But when you wait until the night before, you can experience something crazy.
They ask you a question you actually know the answer to…
And suddenly, your brain goes blank.
You know that A comes before B.
You know it.
But in that moment, you’re standing there wondering what comes after A. 😂
That’s what lack of preparation can do.
I have people come to me and say, “My interview is tomorrow. Please help me prepare.”
And honestly, I’m not even going to collect your money.
Go.
Because that’s not preparation.
When you pay me to prepare you for an interview, you need to tell me weeks ahead.
Tell me about the company.
Give me the job description.
I’ll identify the areas you need to focus on, the questions you should prepare for, and the stories you need to have ready.
But then you have to rehearse.
Because I can’t walk into the interview room for you.
Preparation is not just knowing what to say.
It’s saying it so many times that it becomes natural.
So if you have an interview coming up, don’t wait.
Start today.
And watch out for Part 2, because I’m giving you the second interview hack that you can use for EVERY interview.
Steal this one first. 😂
I realized too late in my career that we all need to learn sales, irrespective of our profession or vocation.
In 2019, after more than a decade of what would be normally called a successful career track (pedigree, logos, scale, $$$), I went back to the drawing board and started self-training myself in sales (& marketing too) from scratch.
I can vouch that every point in this top @hackernews post on “How to do sales?” is true, and amazingly distilled to its simplest essence.
So much so that I have printed it out, kept it on my desk, to be reviewed each day.
Btw, it’s a real travesty that top universities and early-career jobs hardly provide any practical sales skills or training to young talent. I have seen this both in the US and India, and it’s a major gap in our learning systems.
Use your phone less.
Use your phone less.
Use your phone less.
Use your phone less.
Because attention is not free.
A brain imaging study found that smartphone addiction was associated with structural and functional differences in brain regions involved in attention, emotion, and self-control.
I have always found interesting people more valuable than impressive résumés. A curious mind can keep reinventing itself.
A résumé can only tell you where it has already been.
