Priorities
Tim Ferris: How to Surf Life: Attorney Turned Surf Guru:

These days, he often sees his former self in the under-joyed and overworked professionals he takes out on the waves. Waiting for the swell, the true emotions come out: “God, I wish I could do what you do.” His reply is always the same: “You can.”

You may want to escape, you may want to plunge deeper: but the opportunity is there. Set your priorities and go.

Biases
On Unstructured Thoughts: “Don’t Listen to Me”.

The point is not to get rid of our biases: our biases can be incredibly valuable if we recognize where they exist, how they were formed and how they shape us.

A shout-out to Anil Polat for helping me think about the value of biases….

    It looks like I was poised for victory at that moment in time. Oh well.
  • You were poised, but the board and piece design obscured a couple pretty important impacts.

  • I'm glad to have provoked the idea - your blog often has me analyzing viewpoints.
