3 IDEAS FROM ME
I.
“In times of uncertainty, your habits can ground you.
When you feel overwhelmed, practice 1 minute of mindfulness.
When you feel restless, do a 1-minute workout.
When the world seems uncontrollable, focus on what you can control.”
II.
“The two skills of modern business: Storytelling and spreadsheets.
Know the numbers. Craft the narrative.”
III.
“People keep reading self-help and revisiting the same ideas because that’s precisely what we need: to be reminded.
The problem is not that information is unhelpful, but that attention is fleeting.
Nobody focuses on one idea every minute of the day. Good books refocus the mind.”
