Each week, I share one insight. One piece of wisdom. One question to reflect on. (and a little Lagniappe)
Our attention is precious. It is a finite resource. When I struggle to make progress on a larger goal, it's because my attention is spread too thin, my brain is overloaded with context switching costs.
The antidote is twofold: reduce what you're paying attention to, and compress the feedback loop on what remains. Ship something valuable. Learn. Repeat.
"All art is a work in progress. It's helpful to see the piece we're working on as an experiment. One in which we can't predict the outcome. Whatever the result, we will receive useful information that will benefit the next experiment." — Rick Rubin, The Creative Act
What's the smallest thing you could ship this week that would teach you something valuable?
