how to be good at your job

- realize this one thing is actually made up of two separate things
- realize instead of solving the direct problem you can solve a broader problem
- instead of implementing thing, implement other thing that makes it easier to implement thing

It is a misconception that being highly technical and intelligent is all you need to succeed.

The world is so full of slightly autistic, highly smart, highly technical people that never get what they want out of life.

That is because they fail to express what they want out of life or to bridge their interests with anyone that might be able to get them there.

Being able to communicate well is a rare gift, and is why the top at so many places is unfortunately over-indexed on people with great communication skill as opposed to great technical skill.

You don't get extra credit for having your environment on hard mode. Making good choices is much easier when you've arranged your environment to make the good choice the default.

The #1 killer of creativity is a weak knowledge base. The #1 unlock is having knowledge so fully ingrained that manipulating it takes no conscious effort, freeing up all your brainspace for higher-level thought.

[Justin Skycak @justinskycak]

Doing the work is hard, but what's even harder is not doing the work and spending the rest of your life coping with unrealized potential. The fatigue from hard work is surface-level; the regret from inaction runs deep.

You get good at anything by doing it a lot. Just do things a lot

It's not time spent. It's volume of doing. Make sure the time it takes you to do a single thing is as fast as possible. Your cycle time is sacred

intelligence is the ability to add order to complexity.

Along the way somebody was gracious enough to take a chance on you because you had the right attitude even if you didn't have the skills to match. It's only right you extend the same grace to someone else.

The people who advance fastest are often the ones most willing to let reality correct them quickly.

[Justin Skycak @justinskycak]

A lot of bad decisions come from trying to think globally before you can make locally correct moves.

There are at least 4 types of wealth:

- Financial wealth (money)

- Social wealth (status)

- Time wealth (freedom)

- Physical wealth (health)

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

Mentally healthy people are often delusionally optimistic.

The longer you postpone disciplined action, the more your choices start getting made by inertia instead of intention.

At some point, usually in your 20s, you'll notice that the people around you stop believing in themselves. And no matter how hard you try, you can't save them. By all means, do not let it infect your mind. Stay on your path.

You cannot outperform the standards of the weighted average of those you have surrounded yourself with.

[Justin Skycak @justinskycak]

The easiest way to stay mediocre is to keep your goals abstract and your days unexamined.

i used to believe in the well structured traditional business plan, but Elon has clearly shown that pure grit retard mode works much better

[Justin Skycak @justinskycak]

If your progress is invisible, your motivation will decay. If you can see a meaningful number go up, your brain will find the energy to keep going.

[Justin Skycak @justinskycak]

If you spend your 20s chasing status instead of skill, you’ll spend your 30s wondering why you have neither.

Every single thing you want in life is on the other side of something that sucks. That suck might be 100 workouts, 100 bland meals, 100 hours of work, or 100 hard conversations. Embrace it as the cost of entry. The answers you seek are found in the actions you avoid.
