How to be successful
Life is simple: do the right things, and good things will happen as a result.
- set your goals
- figure out the steps to get there
- learn from others who've done it before
- be efficient, be consistent
Your daily routine should look like this:
- list the things you want to do
- list the things you have to do
- sort them by priority and allocate your time accordingly
- analyze your options and make rational choices
- evaluate pros and cons, and score everything
- if there are too many options, limit your scope
- if there are multiple good options, just pick one
- prepare your environment
- execute the boring stuff first
- then reward yourself with things you enjoy
- review your performance and find improvements
Creative/learning mindset: fail faster
- if you fear failure, you won't try
- if you don't try, you won't fail
- if you don't fail, you won't learn
- if you don't learn, you won't improve
Protecting your ego is the reason you are not there yet:
- embrace failure
- invest in loss
