Make time less precious. We are way too efficient, making use of every hour, every minute. When you were a kid, didnโt you just spend hours poking sticks in the mud, climbing trees and sitting in them, looking at shells and seaweed that washed up on the shoreline? Time was not precious then, we werenโt trying to stuff an accomplishment into every minute every day, we had time for thoughts and feelings. That was good!

Caterina FakeYou try a lot of things and you don't know what the hell you're doing. If you're actually inventing something you shouldn't know what you're doing.

Caterina FakeInspiration is really all around us. I pay attention to a lot of different fields. I stay up on current events. I go to community meetings to see what concerns the people in my neighborhood. Paying attention to social interactions offline really inform interactions online. The real world is a bottomless source of inspiration for what you can build.
