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

By my reckoning, I only need about 200 more takeout coffee cups to complete my bitterly ironic mosaic of Al Gore.

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.

Make the time to be scared of more interesting things.

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.

A priority is observed, not manufactured or assigned. Otherwise, it's necessarily not a priority.

Workflow is understanding your job, understanding your tools, and then not thinking about it any more.
