Dr. Julie Gurner on beating the odds: “It's a lot easier than you think to 'beat the odds' because the odds are based on average people. Show up and elevate.”

The three lenses of opportunity cost: (1) Compared with what? (2) And then what? (3) At the expense of what?

* Everyone knows what works. Few do it after it stops being exciting.

The most valuable skill isn't inspiration but the ability to work without it.

The clearer you are about your priorities, the easier it is to say no.

What you're taught isn’t always what matters.

"You want two things: 1. Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity. No wasted movement. No wasted effort. 2. Compounding. Every project should have a long runway and feed the others"

Remain playful as your responsibilities increase. It's easy to become serious when people and results depend on you, but nearly everyone's performance improves when they proceed lightly through the world

Banker and archaeologist John Lubbock on the value of downtime: "Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time."

There are no level playing fields, only better players

On balance: Spend a handful of hours a day going fast. Crush a gym session. Do deep work on a project you care about. Spend the rest of the day going slow. Take walks. Read books. Get a long dinner with friends. Either way, avoid the anxious middle where you never truly relax or truly move forward.

"To create, one must first question everything. Never adopt someone else's conclusion without putting it to the test of your own reasoning and imagination." - Eileen Gray

The simple framework Jeff Bezos used to make faster decisions at Amazon: 🔀🎯 “Some decisions are consequential and irreversible or nearly irreversible – one-way doors – and these decisions must be made methodically, carefully, slowly, with great deliberation and consultation.

"The world is big, but industries are small. After a few years, everyone comes to know the quality of your work. Reputation matters."

When accessing all information is common, paying attention to important information is rare.

Vincent Van Gogh on the accumulation of small things: “Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together. The trick is to focus on the first small thing. Starting small is still starting, and small beginnings often lead to extraordinary endings.”

Weekend thoughts💭 Your mistakes aren’t the best teacher—just the most expensive. You can start at the mountain’s base and make every mistake on the way up, or take a sherpa and master the best of what others have figured out. The successful learn vicariously; the foolish insist on firsthand pain.

Enterprise L&D: Skills are best 'mapped' to Tasks after they were derived from the Tasks that were derived from the Accomplishments/Outputs they were intended to produce. Begin with the End in Mind. Project example Analysis outputs from 1986 and 1993... tppannex.wordpress.com/2023/07/21/p...

For firms concerned about Al hallucinations: 1. Is 100% accuracy vital for this task? 2. How predictable are human errors compared to Al's unpredictable hallucinations? 3. Can your Al's decisions be explained and trusted?

I've been thinking about ways to reduce Slack 'ping fatigue.' Would this work for you? Use priority tags: 🔴 Urgent 🔵 Non-urgent ⚪ Feedback (no rush) And reactions for updates: 👀 'Looking into it' ✅ 'Done'
