Certainty

 Being certain about something doesn’t make it true. 

Making Decisions - Cutting or Killing

When making decisions, deciding to cut options can be terrifying—but the truth is, it is the very essence of decision making. In fact: The Latin root of the word decision—cis or cid—literally means “to cut” or “to kill.” You can see this in words like scissors, homicide, or fratricide.

It’s how you get from the Trivial Many to the Vital Few.

The White-Space Walk

Every week, take one 20-minute walk with no phone, no music, no podcast. Just you and your thoughts.

Boredom isn't the enemy. It's where your best ideas live. They just need a little white space.
