Of course you gravitate towards the tasks you enjoy, and are good at.

So, engineers want to build stuff, mess with infrastructure, create a cool feature.

But, is that what’s most important, right now? Will it consistently win additional customers?

You don't need to invent new ideas to make a significant impact. Consider your favorite teacher or mentor--did they invent the subject they taught? Of course not. Yet they changed your life.

You are not 100% correct.

You 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 you are, because “I’m my own customer.”

But you’re wrong. You’ll find out when you intersect with actual customers.

(You're not 100% wrong either, it's impossible to know which P% is wrong until you ship.)
“I scratched my own itch” isn’t good enough
This isn’t the humble-brag you think it is; The most common origin story is also common to startups that fail. But it’s a start.

Watched ROGUE ONE with my wife today. We had a ball. Wish I'd seen it in a theater. It has what so many action pictures lack: a beating heart.

THE ENDING WRITES ITSELF, by Evelyn Clarke: Clearly in the running for the best mystery novel of 2026 (it bows in April). A trove of tropes that mystery-lovers will love, right down to the dark and stormy night in its climax. Funny and scary. It will remind you of AND THEN THERE WERE NONE.

if you want to have a nice and relaxing sunday, do not watch the new Hulu documentary on Hurricane Katrina. if you want to shake with rage and anger over the total failure of this nation's government and media establishment, watch the Hulu documentary on Katrina (this is a recommendation)

🥗 Truth. Probably need 10-20 more circles though.
People turn to food banks when they don't have enough money to survive.

Lots of people are in-between jobs, have health conditions or are looking after loved ones.

And some people are in work that doesn't pay enough to get by.

As a founder, it’s easy to overshadow people in meetings.

Use these techniques to empower other people, and still contribute, without imposing your will.

Productivity → doing tasks faster, or more per day

Prioritization → doing the right tasks

The latter is obviously more important; if tasks aren’t valuable, it doesn’t matter how efficient you are.

Yet we spend most of our time on the former, because it’s easier.

Wrong.

Because time is zero-sum, prioritization is mandatory. This is an index of purpose-built prioritization frameworks, and an overarching one to optimize your life.

Just because you're a wannabe doesn't mean you'll Neverbe. All of your favorite artists started out as wannabes. They saw and heard art, got inspired, and said "I want to do that!" Just like you.

So go make some fucking art and stop being so hard on yourself.

Every day brings 100 decisions.

If you can use rules / frameworks / strategies / habits to reduce to even 70 decisions, that’s a large time-savings and even larger energy-savings.

The rules are self-imposed; you’re still in control.

What rule will you add today?

Saying “yes” to things that are outside your plan and strategy means getting distracted.

Probably, just say “no,” but…

There’s also a way to say “no, unless” that might be even better:
Never say “no,” but rarely say “yes.”
“Focus” requires saying “no” to most things, but there’s a way to do it that allows you to say “yes” exactly when it matters most.

Some of the most remarkable people you'll ever meet are North Korean defectors, or escapees. One such is Kim Yumi, whom I talked with at the Oslo Freedom Forum (‪@oslofreedomforum.com). For @thedispatchmedia.bsky.social, an article. thedispatch.com/article/nort...

Dunno if this is where Arthur was going, but I’ll say:

1. They have less rights than previous generations

2. Living through multiple once-in-a-lifetime economic crises

3. Knowing climate change apocalypse is coming, knowing no one is doing enough to stop it

4. All heroes turn out to be villains
