Kindle Notes & Highlights
What does make a significant difference along the whole intelligence spectrum is something else: how much self-discipline or self-control one uses to approach the tasks at hand
Vital to reach our goals!
Willpower is, as far as we know today,[2] a limited resource that depletes quickly and is also not that much up for improvement over the long term
Consider that we have limited attention resources, use them wisely.
Having a meaningful and well-defined task beats willpower every time. Not having willpower, but not having to use willpower indicates that you set yourself up for success. This is where the organisation of writing and note-taking comes into play.
A to-do list is always better than nothing, it helps to ground ideas that are in the cloud and makes them visible for life realization.
A good structure enables flow, the state in which you get so completely immersed in your work that you lose track of time and can just keep on going as the work becomes effortless
Routines require simple, repeatable tasks that can become automatic and fit together seamlessly
Discipline!!!
“mind like water” - the state where we can focus on the work right in front of us without getting distracted by competing thoughts.
The creative mind like water, which once condensed like raindrops, flows over the river that carries it vigorously and deposits it in the ocean of life's transformations.
