Things I keep coming back to

When something I watch pushes me in the right direction, I keep it here — along with the part of it that stuck.

How to Win Without Crushing Your Soul

Graham Weaver

I watched this twice in the same week.

Weaver spent thirty years chasing the next milestone — the hundred-hour weeks, fourteen years before his own company really worked — and his point is that the scoreboard was never the problem. The voice keeping score was.

The line I keep repeating back to myself: fear in your head is paralyzing, but fear on paper is just a problem you can solve. If you're waiting to arrive somewhere before you let yourself feel alright, start here.
