You do it because it’s who you are and it feels good to be you. The more a habit becomes part of your life, the less you need outside encouragement t… - James Clear

The truth is, a habit must be established before it can be improved. If you can’t learn the basic skill of showing up, then you have little hope of mastering the finer details. Instead of trying to engineer a perfect habit from the start, do the easy thing on a more consistent basis. You have to standardize before you can optimize.

The paradox of risk:

(1) Don't put all your eggs in one basket. If you lose the basket, you lose it all.
(2) Don't put your eggs in too many baskets. The more baskets you manage, the less energy you can put into each one. It's risky to do things halfway.

Diversified, but focused.

The person who learns the most in any classroom is the teacher.

If you really want to learn a topic, then “teach” it. Write a book. Teach a class. Build a product. Start a company.

The act of making something will force you to learn more deeply than reading ever will.
