no way but through
Getting curious about what’s really going on when you’re bored (meaninglessness, task poorly matched to ability, etc.)
Oliver Burkeman
How to priority-stack ideas that are still vague? Right now, I am just apportioning a bit of time to pursue this, a bit of time to that, and making progress on none of them.
I feel like an anti-entrepreneur, in that it feels completely against my nature to come up with ideas that make money. It’s like I can conceive of every kind of idea except that kind.
zero to one work is soul exposing.
you’re making something out of nothing, then dragging it into reality by force of will while everything around you & sometimes even yourself telling you it’s dumb, or pointless.
