Do One Thing Well
The problem with doing more is that you achieve less.

The iPod was, and is still massively successful. It turned Apple’s declining revenue around and saved the company that was heading into an irreparable decline.

One Reason You Should Read Full-Length Books
Updated: 25-02-2024 A while ago I was talking to a friend, and he asked me how I can focus so intensely for such extended periods.

Why
Why do anything. Why do we do things? When asked this question it’s easy to give answers that seem obvious. Perhaps they are obvious and I sound stupid right now. Bare with me. Picture this, you’re going into a Job interview and your potential employer asks you what you’re expecting from the job and why you’ve decided to apply for a job at his company. What’s your answer? Is it something along the lines of...
The Reason You Hate Running
