If it’s easy for them to provide feedback, it’s probably not feedback worth acting on.

If it’s easy for them to complete the task, it’s probably not a task worth investing in (unless the investment is in how to automate the easy task).

We’ve made it too easy for critics, busy work, and poor investments to take hold.

If it’s hard for you to move on from what’s easy, then it’s a move worth making.

To get your return, it takes more than cash.

It takes attention to detail and emotional labor and rallying a tribe around your investment.

It takes work to get the return.

If you’re telling yourself (or others are telling you) that you can get ahead by putting some of your resources in a bucket and then do nothing after – they’re wrong more than they’re right.

Significantly more times wrong.

And then we repeat. We create more. Ideate more. Ship more.

Each time, weaning out the weak, promoting the best and mastering our craft.

Here’s a list worth making: Things that fill you up.

You know, things that bring you joy, make you laugh or get you to feel fulfilled at the end of the day.

The next task is to do more on that list.

Here’s a list worth making: Things that drain you.

You know, complaining, reading click bait, surfing Twitter.

The next task is to do less on that list.

Answers might be hard to find from time to time, but emotions? They’re a click away.

The ease of finding anger or frustration or sadness on the internet begs us to always be asking the question: what are we in search of?

If we’re finding emotions we don’t actually want; it’s time to change what we’re searching.

You’re just a couple clicks away from feeling better.
