Listicles

Consistency is the key to success. (*consistency might be nonlinear and cyclical).

Always trust yourself first. If you don't trust yourself, ask yourself why. Work on yourself until you do.

Try to focus only on the present task, and maybe the next important thing. Shine the flashlight 3 feet in front of you, instead of trying to have the journey all charted out. See #1-3.

Everything happens in cycles: flow —> resistance —> stuckness —> renewal Embrace the cyclical nature of everything.

The best state of creation is un-self-conscious creation.

When deciding which of your money-making seeds to put effort in, first focus on the one which could grow the biggest with the least maintenance effort.

Instead of planning and controlling what to do for an entire project's length, let your fingers / body / intuition guide you. You can work on it, but trust that what comes naturally will come.
