advice for when you wanna start something

The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.

"what is the smallest amount of progress that will be useful and valuable to the essential task we are trying to get done?"

Don’t ask yourself where your true gifts lie. Ask what other people seem weirdly bad at.

"Go deeper and weirder and make something that is so human and so strange that it can't be duplicated by an algorithm."
