Like it says on the box - from Conor Barnes at ideopunk
A really well thought out collation. Here are ten that caught my eye:
1 .If you want to find out about people’s opinions on a product, google <product> reddit. You’ll get real people arguing, as compared to the SEO’d Google results.
18. Keep your desk and workspace bare. Treat every object as an imposition upon your attention, because it is. A workspace is not a place for storing things. It is a place for accomplishing things.
25. History remembers those who got to market first. Getting your creation out into the world is more important than getting it perfect.
35. Noticing biases in others is easy, noticing biases in yourself is hard. However, it has much higher pay-off.
57. There are two red flags to avoid almost all dangerous people: 1. The perpetually aggrieved ; 2. The angry.
58. Some people create drama out of habit. You can avoid these people.
59. Those who generate anxiety in you and promise that they have the solution are grifters. See: politicians, marketers, new masculinity gurus, etc. Avoid these.
73. In relationships look for somebody you can enjoy just hanging out near. Long-term relationships are mostly spent just chilling.
79. When dating, de-emphasizing your quirks will lead to 90% of people thinking you’re kind of alright. Emphasizing your quirks will lead to 10% of people thinking you’re fascinating and fun. Those are the people interested in dating you. Aim for them.
92. You have vanishingly little political influence and every thought you spend on politics will probably come to nothing. Consider building things instead, or at least going for a walk.
Some really good thoughts there.
