Seinfeld famously had this productivity secret where he would take a calendar and draw a big X on every day he wrote jokes, and then once he got to 2 consecutive weeks, the chain of X’s was so visually appealing that it made him more likely to continue the work. For years it

Doing simple things, exceptionally well, is far more productive than diving into complexity just because it’s interesting and exciting. Example- If you can’t access prices available to your competitors, finding a way to do that will be significantly more valuable than adding an

“Behind mountains, there are more mountains” A translation of an old Haitian proverb. The idea that you’ll ever be devoid of problems that need fixing is a fallacy, and lamenting about all the problems you’re currently facing is a waste of your time. If you want to do

Enjoying something doesn’t mean that you wake up thrilled to do it every day. I love training, but most days I wake up with little to no motivation to exercise. It’s a common belief that elite performers are who they are because they’re more motivated, more excited to do the

You don’t get paid more for working harder. If there’s an easier, more efficient way, do it. If you find softer markets that you can beat without ‘working’ at all, focus on them. Sounds obvious, but the way hard work is glorified these days, I’m not sure it is.

Wake up early, write some stuff down, go for a run, do some push-ups/pull-ups. If you’re gonna stare at the screens all day, you might as well give yourself a head start

I truly don’t care what the subject matter is, I just want to hear smart people discuss things they’re passionate about. Listening to conversations that have nothing to do with what you’re working on can be a lot more valuable than you give them credit for.

It's actually impressive how bad the coverage for the Ryder Cup has been so far. I aspire to be as incoherent as Faldo and Notah one day.

You can tell how emotional the Ryder Cup is because it gets the most insane takes from fans, media, other players etc. We’re talking about a sample of 9 matches, 7 of which are partner play. Not to mention that Scottie beat Rahm 4&3 at the Ryder cup in 2021 singles, lol. But
