💡 THOUGHTS FROM ME
I. Hearth bullets earlier than cannonballs.
When attempting one thing totally different or new, so as to not develop into overwhelmed or earlier than losing a number of time and sources that won’t work, begin by taking smaller photographs (low threat, misplaced price, and/or low distraction experiments).
This lowers the price of failure whereas additionally permitting you to strive extra issues and see what sticks.
Wish to begin a podcast? File a couple of episodes with low cost tools (bullets) earlier than spending a number of money and time with out realizing what works (cannonball).
Wish to run an efficient advert marketing campaign? Attempt a couple of variations on a decrease funds (bullets) and see which performs finest earlier than dumping some huge cash into one (cannonball).
If “this determination has to work” what you’re making is a cannonball determination. Earlier than you get there, strive issues on a smaller scale and see what works.
Hearth bullets earlier than cannonballs.

II. Typically the perfect and most useful habits didn’t begin that manner.
Those that take pleasure in a constant train routine achieve this as a result of they’re assured of their exercise, take pleasure in its advantages, and really feel off once they get out of routine. They usually achieve this in a manner that somebody who doesn’t train can’t fathom.
Those that take pleasure in constant time in God’s phrase every day and prayer typically begin doing so as a result of they heard it was good for them, even when it typically felt like “work.” Now once they miss, they really feel off in a manner that somebody who doesn’t spend time with God can’t perceive.
You get the purpose. Simply because it’s exhausting or uncomfortable now doesn’t imply it can keep that manner should you persist with it.
The longer you keep on with good habits, the extra you’ll take pleasure in them in methods different individuals can’t comprehend.

📖 1 BRIEF BOOK REVIEW
Considering Quick and Sluggish by Daniel Kahneman
Total, a extremely attention-grabbing and insightful e book about how the thoughts thinks and makes selections.
It particulars why we are sometimes overconfident within the selections we make and stances we take. And the distinction between making fast selections (considering quick) and permitting for extra thought earlier than arriving at a conclusion (considering sluggish). This e book is referenced by many different books for its research and evaluation.
It is also fairly lengthy for what it’s (about 420 pages earlier than the appendixes). Due to this, it was exhausting to maintain observe of every little thing. I’d have loved it extra if it was shorter and even one way or the other damaged up into two books.
Actually good content material, however somewhat lengthy and I needed to power myself to complete it. That lowered its general rating for me.
