More Diversity
As I went about my business today and was in the Twitter-verse and various YouTube rabbit holes, I realized very blatantly that there is a lack of diversity in the materials I found. If anyone has any recommendations for women in philosophy, mathematices and computer science I would very much appreciate the recommendations.
"Tools of Titans"
- The closest word I can find to describe it is “Praxis.” The word originates in Ancient Greek to describe how a process can be embodied. It’s a practical explanation of how the brain, body, and heart influence each other.
- books
- Getting Things Done by David Allen
- Atomic Habits by James Clear
- 7 Habits by Stephen Covey
- See also “techne” as in Spenglers Man and Technics or Aristotle.
- Partnerships, policy, perseverance
A compilation for each category (live, work, think) would highlight how many ways you can approach the same thing.

"Here are 100 different ways productive people handle a task list."
You set the price, I’ll set the terms
A mindset shift I learned from @awilkinson in investing but it really applies to everything.
Similar to Ferriss’ “what if this were easy” or Thiel’s “what if you had to achieve your 10yr plan in 6 mths”
Most things don’t have to be hard!
