Trying ...

[DHH @dhh]

You can’t outwork the whole world. There’s always going to be someone somewhere willing to work as hard as you. Someone just as hungry. Or hungrier.

Assuming you can work harder and longer than someone else is giving yourself too much credit for your effort and not enough for theirs. Putting in 1,001 hours to someone else’s 1,000 isn’t going to tip the scale in your favor.

What’s worse is when management holds up certain people as having a great “work ethic” because they’re always around, always available, always working. That’s a terrible example of a work ethic and a great example of someone who’s overworked.

A great work ethic isn’t about working whenever you’re called upon. It’s about doing what you say you’re going to do, putting in a fair day’s work, respecting the work, respecting the customer, respecting coworkers, not wasting time, not creating unnecessary work for other people, and not being a bottleneck. Work ethic is about being a fundamentally good person that others can count on and enjoy working with.

So how do people get ahead if it’s not about outworking everyone else?

People make it because they’re talented, they’re lucky, they’re in the right place at the right time, they know how to work with other people, they know how to sell an idea, they know what moves people, they can tell a story, they know which details matter and which don’t, they can see the big and small pictures in every situation, and they know how to do something with an opportunity. And for so many other reasons.

So get the outwork myth out of your head. Stop equating work ethic with excessive work hours. Neither is going to get you ahead or help you find calm.

Don't forget your intuition. Don't let listening to experts weaken it.

They're always afraid
Of what they don't understand
We'll never be how they would have us
We're not insane (this is a good thing)

@bryson_blocker We think based on our context and the things they show us.
I like the impact they are having on me.
Documenting their journey in dense cuinks for us

[Nima @NiAlpr]

@visualjox @bryson_blocker I might have a solution to this.
The thing is I'm at a job and don't have a business running and might have a different view.
It's my way of organizing content. select the context related to the current situation (mindset, plan, scale) better navigation, other, notes ...

Magic is behind the work you avoid

[Nima @NiAlpr]

Try to make it as good as possible.

[Nima @NiAlpr]

I feel stupid till it works, all that bad idea and execution leads to that thing. It's like 1000 iteration away, and I don't know if it works or not.

get comfy with not being the top dog, let that stupidity flow in your life.

when I made it, everybody wants to use it
when I built it, everything will be different

need to sit there, design, organize, decide, develop ... every bit with enjoyment and craftsmanship

they say AI will build it easy. no help so far, only waisted my time with unlimited output
