the secret to actually getting things done: micro-commitments. don't try to: "hit the gym" "build an app" "write a thread" instead commit to 15 minutes doing the thing. before you know it: resistance fades, flow kicks in, and you won't want to stop.

Everyone's going to see you fail. And that's ok. No way around it. Your family will forget in a week. Your friends will move on in days. Your haters will find someone else to criticize. But you'll regret the shots you didn't take for YEARS. Your dreams > their opinions
