Shorten your to-do list by asking yourself,

"What is the worst that will happen if this does not get done?"

Eliminate all but the disasters.

—Kevin Kelly in Excellent Advice for Living

"Marketing is our core competency. We're going to outsource everything else. Red Bull has no production facilities or warehouses."

​Dietrich Mateschitz​

If you want an average, successful life, it doesn’t take much planning. Just stay out of trouble, go to school, and apply for jobs you might like. But if you want something extraordinary, you have two paths: 1) Become the best at one specific thing. 2) Become very good (top 25%) at two or more things.
