Self-Directed Neuroplasticity: your ability to change your nervous system in specific ways= 2 steps:
1) Deliberate focus (the more intense the better) on the thing youโre trying to learn
2) Sleep & Non-Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR) states, which are when actual neural rewiring occurs
Code and media are permissionless leverage. They're the leverage behind the newly rich. You can create software and media that works for you while you sleep.

@peterwyoo Judgement is making decisions. Leverage magnifies the consequences of those decisions. Invest $100 of your money or $10,000 of someone elseโs. Work on a project for 1 year or work with a team of 10 on that project for a year. Advise a friend or advise many via Twitter.
Principle: Swallow the frog for your boss.
One of the greatest hacks to getting ahead early in your career:
(1) Observe your boss
(2) Figure out what they hate doing
(3) Learn to do it
(4) Take it off their plate
It's a clear way to add value, put up a win, and build momentum.
Principle: Play long-term games.
Humans are wired to think short-termโwhere's my next meal, what animal might kill me?
This means that there is asymmetric upside from being long-term focused in a sea of short-term thinkers.
Always play the long game.
When in doubt, zoom out.
