At least at first, the new thing is rarely as good as the old thing was. If you need the alternative to be better than the status quo from the very start, you'll never begin.

If you're going to buy a real book, a paper book, there better be a good reason. Perhaps scarcity is one of those reasons.

Just about anything worth doing is worth doing better.

Self sufficiency appears to be a worthy goal, but it's now impossible if you want to actually get anything done. All our productivity, leverage and insight comes from being part of a community, not apart from it. The goal, I think, is to figure out how to become more dependent, not less.

The first step to getting good is admitting that you aren't (yet).

There's nothing wrong with having a plan. Plans are great. But missions are better. Missions survive when plans fail, and plans almost always fail.

We notice what we choose to notice.
