I gauge success in years, not weeks. The weekend box-office approach to book launches is short sighted and encourages crappy books.

If someone's criticism is completely unfounded on data, then I don't want to hear it. It doesn't hold up to scrutiny.

Doing something unimportant well does not make it important.

Ninety-nine percent of people believe they can't do great things, so they aim for mediocrity.

Slowing down doesn't mean accomplishing less; it means cutting out counterproductive distractions and the perception of being rushed.

It's very easy to confuse confident motion with being productive - and they're not the same thing. Productive to me means measurable outcomes that apply to my most important to-dos that positively affect my life. That's it.

Awareness, even at a subconscious level, beats fancy checklists without it, track or you will fail.
