The Best Minute: Continued learning, working on the right things, and 5 minutes from now

2 QUOTES FROM OTHERS

I. Ray Dalio on the importance of continued learning:

“If you don’t look at yourself and think, ‘wow how stupid I was a year go,’ then you must not have learned much in the last year.”

———————————

II. James Clear on working on the right things:

“Many people work hard, but few people work on the highest and best thing. Usually, it takes no more effort to work on high leverage tasks than it does to work on low leverage ones. It’s just a matter of directing your energy.”

2 IDEAS FROM ME

I. Your sin does not disqualify you from God’s grace, but it can prohibit you from experiencing it.

———————————

II. “What will I have wished I did five minutes from now” is a great question to ask when facing an uncomfortable situation or undesirable task. Oftentimes, (like having to say no to someone) facing the problem at the moment it happens will save you time and energy in the future. If it can be dealt with now, deal with it now. Don’t give yourself future problems unnecessarily.

1 INTERESTING FACT

You may feel like you're standing still, but you're constantly moving — fast. Depending on where you are on the globe, you could be spinning with the planet at just over 1,000 miles per hour.

People on the equator move the fastest, while someone standing on the North or South pole would be perfectly still. (Imagine a basketball spinning on your finger. A random point on the ball's equator has farther to go in a single spin as a point near your finger. Thus, the point on the equator is moving faster.)
