- Personalisation sells, but good design satisfies.
- Don't wait for perfect execution. Ship and iterate.
- You don't need to fill your time. Creating calendar white space provides a buffer for work and play.
- Find the intersection of doing what makes you happy, what is smart for you long-term, and what is useful to others. Whatever that is, do it often.
- Ideas are worth nothing unless executed. They are just a multiplier. Execution is worth millions.
- The extremes inform the mean, but not vice versa. Design for the edge-cases; the middle will take care of itself.
- Friends are not forever, but they enrich our lives like no others can.
- Age should never hold back your confidence.
- Drinking enough water in a day is actually pretty hard.
- Nobody cares how many books you've read. People care what books you've read. And timing can determine quality. The impact a book can have on you is dependent on where you are in life.
- Don't dwell on augmenting your life. Self-care is more important than you probably think.
- Move to your own rhythm. This is where progress is realised. Keeping pace with others is a losing battle.
- How slowly or quickly you think is not an accurate measurement of your intelligence. Slow thinking is more deliberate and less emotional.
- Just because AI is available, doesn't mean you need it in your product.
- Personal websites and newsletters are far more valuable than any social media presence.
- You can’t teach minimalism to somebody who hasn’t felt the pain of having too much stuff.
- Solo projects evolve faster, but collaborative projects evolve better.
- We don't need a million followers. And maybe we don't need a thousand true fans. But we probably could use ten good internet friends to make our digital life better.
- Email is the best form of communication. Especially if you write informally.
- It's okay to obsess over numbers, but only if they give a sense of mission rather than distraction.
