A key to steady progress is prioritizing goals over moods. Whether you aim to get in shape, learn the guitar, or write a book, the question is not whether you feel like it today. It's who you want to become tomorrow. Enthusiasm fluctuates. Consistent action accumulates.

🏢💻 The proximity paradox: Working next to your colleagues boosts long-term knowledge sharing but may dent your short-term output. Being in the same space meant 22% more feedback for engineers. The cost? A 23% dip in productivity. More: nber.org/papers/w31880

People who love their work shouldn’t judge those who don’t. Enjoying a job is not a sign of virtue—it’s a mark of fit. Many people don’t have the luxury of finding their passion or the freedom to follow it. If you're lucky enough to like work, don't be smug. Be grateful.

Yes! Pictures help us navigate unknown futures!
