Make the time to be scared of more interesting things.

Although your time and attention are finite, the demands on your time and attention are infinite.

A lot of the best work I've ever done started out as something completely different because I gave myself permission to have space around my time and expectations.

Where you allow your attention to go ultimately says more about you as a human being than anything that you put in your mission statement.

Creative work, summarized: In the time you set aside each day to work your ass off, ignore anything that makes you consider stopping.

Email is such a funny thing. People hand you these single little messages that are no heavier than a river pebble. But it doesn't take long until you have acquired a pile of pebbles that's taller than you and heavier than you could ever hope to move, even if you wanted to do it over a few dozen trips. But for the person who took the time to hand you their pebble, it seems outrageous that you can't handle that one tiny thing.
