10 differences between amateurs and professionals:

1. Amateurs make it look effortful, Professionals make it look effortless.

Effortless, elegant performances are the result of a large volume of effortful, gritty practice. Small things become big things.

(thread)
2. Amateurs love the prize, Professionals love the process.

You’ll never make it if the view at the summit is the only thing motivating you to climb. The hunt has to be just as exciting as the meal at the end.

Professionals truly fall in love with the process.
3. Amateurs blame others, Professionals are accountable.

The Amateur looks outward: Bad luck, unfair circumstances, a cheating opponent.

The Professional looks inward: Lack of preparation, gaps in routine, uneven intensity.

Accountability breeds progress.

My Anti-To-Do List

(15 things I want to avoid on a daily basis)

1. Do not complain about anything.

If the thing is within your control, then go do something about it. If the thing is out of your control, then it's just a waste of energy to complain about it.Image
2. Don't allow negative people to steal your energy.

Stop avoiding difficult conversations. Embrace the need to remove toxicity from your life.

3. Do not allow more than 2 hours of inactivity.

Get up and go for a walk. Do a few pushups or lunges. Move your body regularly.
4. Do not "graze" on low-value tasks.

Parkinson's Law says that work expands to fill the time allotted for its completion. When you don't set fixed windows for managing low-value tasks, you end up "grazing" on them. Create short windows for processing low importance tasks.

These 7 questions changed my life...

(ask them and they may change yours): Image
1. If I repeated this day for 100 days, would my life be better or worse?

You live your life zoomed in. It makes it difficult to assess your course.

Force a zoom out:

How would your actions from a typical day compound?

Would they steer you off course?

Adjust accordingly.
2. If someone observed my actions for a week, what would they say my priorities are?

You have two sets of priorities:

• The ones your words say you have.
• The ones your actions show you have.

If a third party observed you, would your actions reveal alignment or dislocation?

Last weekend, I attended Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting in Omaha.

It was an incredible experience.

9 ideas from the event that I can't stop thinking about:
1. Go where you don’t belong.

One truth I’ve learned over and over again in my life: Good things happen when you put yourself in rooms where you don’t feel like you belong.

Remember: That feeling of uncertainty, fear, and discomfort is usually a sign of growth.
2. Self-awareness is a cheat code for life.

During the Q&A portion of the meeting, Warren Buffett was asked about his perspectives on AI.

He opened his response with, "I don’t know anything about AI" before sharing his perspective on his fears around the technology.

This may be the best definition of success I've ever come across...

Here are Ralph Waldo Emerson's 9 Pillars of Success: Image
Ralph Waldo Emerson once wrote the following passage on his definition of success:

I'd break this down into nine items... Image
1. To laugh often and much: Laughter keeps us young. Without laughter, you aren't really living!

2. To win the respect of intelligent people: Earning the respect of people you admire (my adaptation on "intelligent people") through the way you live your life.

In 2009, Stanford business professor Tina Seelig split her class into groups and issued a challenge:

Each group had $5 and 2 hours to make the highest return on the money.

At the end, they'd give a short presentation on their strategy.

What happened next was fascinating: Image
Most of the groups followed a simple approach:

• Use the $5 to buy a few items.
• Barter or resell those items.
• Repeat
• Sell final items for (hopefully) more than $5.

These groups made a modest return on their initial $5.
A few groups ignored the $5.

They thought up ways to make the most money in the allotted time:

• Made/sold reservations at hot restaurants.
• Refilled bike tires on campus.

These groups made a good return on the initial $5.

The winning group took a very different approach:
