THE BEST RESOURCES I'VE EVER FOUND

My Lindy Library - a thread of 0.1% of the resources I've consumed that derive 90% of the value.

The content I constantly find myself sharing or coming back to. Articles, podcasts and videos that are timeless.

THREAD...

"The robustness of something is proportional to its life. The longer it has survived, the more likely it is to continue to do so."

Everyone should curate the content providing high signal in this world of noise.

(h/t to @george__mack for his original thread as inspiration)

1. "Think about risk the right way. You only have to be right once. The risk is not getting on the path where you get to be right that one critical time."

You don't have to be 19 to read this piece. Timeless article on how to approach life decisions.

2. "So much of people's identities got wrapped up in winning these competitions that they somehow lost sight of what was important, what was valuable." - Peter Thiel

Avoid competition. You'll tunnel vision on comparing yourself with others.

3. You think that you know yourself before reading this piece. We're pretty biased when thinking about ourselves.

It takes around 22 minutes - do the exercises to get a new understanding of who you are and how you ACTUALLY operate.

4. A masterclass in tying together higher education, commerce, and politics in one piece. Many trends observed even more relevant and obvious today.

This was what convinced me that I needed to learn from @david_perell and take Write of Passage.

5. Probably the piece that has come to mind most often when I need to make a decision on online content creation.

The piece that captures the mechanism enabling the creator economy.

6. The traditional workweek is an archaic concept.

How you should approach structuring your productive hours in the 21st century.

7. A masterclass in how to deal with and think through uncertainty from @polina_marinova

A powerful read if you are on the fence about going all-in on a personal project.

8. Regardless of what you end up doing. Writing will be present in the role.

How powerful your writing is will be proportional to the opportunity you unlock.

This advice from Amazon captures the fundamentals on how to communicate your ideas with impact.

9. People are probably surprised it took this long for the podcast from @naval to feature.

~4 hours of your life that will return 100-fold. Forces you to rethink what you want to build and work on next in alignment to wealth, not money/status.

10. One of the most underrated threads on Twitter by @juvoni.

Avoid the superficial content that people usually share about reading. How to actually build systems to turn your takeaways into routines in your life.

11. "At the beginning of a writing session, write out every bad idea that reflexively comes to mind. Instead of being self-critical and resisting these bad ideas, accept them." - @Julian

Start creating bad content to get to your golden content.
