What is the outcome of this meeting?
In the 68th minute of a meeting that was only supposed to be 60 minutes long, the person on the other end of zoom asked me:
“What was the outcome you expected for this meeting?”
How can I create a bias toward action?
One of the coolest parts of living full time in San Francisco was all of the incredible conversations and discussions that happened. Visionaries, future thinkers, philosophers and spiritual wisdom seekers. I feel like I was always finding my way into a truly fascinating conversation, and I haven't found that level of depth and frequency anywhere else.
This was also something that was frustrating to me.
How can I think 14 steps ahead?
There's this myth that's perpetuated over and over again that the smartest people are always 3 steps ahead of the rest of us. They have this master plan that's unfolding exactly as they predicted. I found that almost never to be the case even when it comes to the smartest people I know.
Where do I start to improve my focus?
Aligned, relentless, undistracted focus.
That level of laser-like focus has been on my mind for many years.
