Stop learning, die young. Keep learning, stay young. - James Clear

If you're stuck in a negotiation, figure out the 1 thing that is truly non-negotiable for you and then compromise on everything else.

Most people think they lack motivation when they really lack clarity.

Of all the ways you could be spending your precious time and attention, it is very unlikely that you are currently spending it in the optimal way. The only path I know for figuring out a better way to spend your life is to sit and think. You simply have to carve out some time to think carefully about what you're doing, why you're doing it, and what you're really trying to achieve. Nobody stumbles into a well lived life. It has to be cultivated. Reflection and review are critical.
