Love it, well written and the article really conveyed the 80's business atmosphere where it was about work ethic over the self improvement syndrome of today :-)

interesting, I came across this after having experienced a significant increase of focus after listening to isochronic focus music on YouTube.

Read it years ago, great to resurface

focus on maro; and I'd add health

Inflation is a real risk for everyone saving cash. #Bitcoin

Absolute must read for everyone who is interested in surveillance, encrypted communication, and obviously for everyone deleting WhatsApp and Facebook in favor of Signal. I’m a user of Telegram since 2014 and I understand and trust What Durov is doing. Please do me a favor and invite your friends to Telegram NOT Signal. Feel free to send me a message on Telegram @mariusschober or follow me @schobers. The world needs Telegram and people like Pavel Durov more than ever before.

Cold shower and breathing exercise before going to bed - sounds uncomfortable, let's do it

Great density of useful information to improve productivity. This year I plan to track and use my time more wisely which is why I found this article in the first place.

Eine liberale Partei und liberales Denken brauchen wir jetzt mehr alls je zuvor weshalb ich die FDP als auch die Sozialliberalen unterstütze.

It sucks to be in the position of Jack Dorsey but this was in my opinion the absolute wrong decision in many different ways.

Once wrote and published a blog post every single day. I learned a TON while doing so. Especially to write eloquent texts effortlessly. This article encouraged me to continue this practice.

As a European I'd like seeing Miami gain in significance in technology. It's only a 10h non-stop flight from many major European cities like London, Amsterdam, Düsseldorf and I really like Miami as a city.

Maybe other mayors of Southern EU cities like Malaga, Palma, Nice, Malta, or Iraklion must look at Francis Suarez and create a similar movement here!

Konservativer Führungsstil wird in den kommenden Jahren wichtiger denn je, das ganze Duzen und das "Feel Well" Political Correctness wird einige Firmen in den Untergang zwingen, dafür schätze ich Herrn Grupp.

I'll definitely walk even more in 2021:

• calls while walking,
• walking meetings,
• walking to the office (6km/1h)

Takeaway: The CEO works on the business

Rating: (9/10)

Thought: One of the BEST articles on what a CEO should actually be doing. Not working in the business but on the business.

I'm just getting started but I already defined my tasks as a future CEO to every board member and future investor: (1) securing funding, (2) getting the deal-flow, (3) recruiting the best talent, (4) setting an exciting vision.

Takeaway: Build your own mindful productivity system which works for you - not others

Rating: (6/10)

Thought: Yes. I understand. There is a lot of advice out there which may be labeled as productivity porn. And I agree, Everyone should have his own schedule, his own rituals and habits. Just copying other persons productivity tips and habits won't necessarily make you productive.

I am right now in the experimentation phase where I try and copy many different elements of role models to see how they impact my productivity. In the end I'll end up with my own mindful productivity rules - which I can then stick to until the rest of my life.

Takeaway: Understand the other side's arguments better than they do, by doing so correct your bad ideas to come closer to reality.

Rating: (8/10)

Thought: I started a while ago to not have public opinions on topics I don't truly understand. But obviously, all of us have our own point of views, tendencies and values we assume to be true. I will take this advice and look and understand into the other sides arguments more intensely in the future.

"You should trade being short-term low-status for being long-term high-status, which most people seem unwilling to do. A common way this happens is by eventually being right about an important but deeply non-consensus bet."

too many 'may' and 'can' in this article.

Via Negativa is one of the most important mental models

All successful founders with net worth in the billions are ruthless - that's what politicians are referring to. But without determination and a high ruthlessness-factor you cannot build successful and impactful businesses. So in the end it all comes down to political correctness and manipulating media narratives which shine negative lights on billionaires.

In the end it all comes down to "authenticity".

What a stupid experiment on humans, not sufficiently tested, no liability of pharma nor government. Every single person in politics and pharma should be held liable for all actions in this vaccination experiment (financially and custodial).

Fire and Motion - I'm not a coder but I can verify that this is true for non-coders as well. The days I simply start doing the work early, the days I do the first cold call as soon as possible and get going (i.e. 10-15 minutes working/calling) it's super easy to continue. The later I cross this point, the less productive my day turns out.

Is this satire?

Nothing new, the trend is already apparent. What this author is talking about in an unsophisticated way are Progressive Web Apps. Twitter, FT and others are already pure web apps. The future is definitely in the browser but Apple is withholding a lot of innovation by not giving the browser as many rights and access as i.e. Chrome does (Bluetooth, GPS, etc.)

Great explanation on deal by deal and pledge funds.

Schade, tolles Land, tolle Mentalität, kluge Menschen, dafür Mismanagement und schlechte Politiker

It’s probably an interesting factor but is this the cause of what we see? I really don’t think so. Fooled by randomness.

"Wer rechnen kann, muss handeln" Da stimme ich Ihnen zu, jedoch sollte man darauf achten, dass die handelnden Akteure Skin in the Game haben - das Gießkannen-Prinzip der EZB sehe ich extrem kritisch.

I'm not sure. You could launch a freemium product like Pocket or Instapaper - Basic features as they are are free, advanced features and added values cost money?

I'm really looking forward to learn how exactly you want to pay writers - it's quite similar to what Brave Browser and BAT try to accomplish.

Whatever, I wish you all the best and I'm excited to see the new features!

Also: How do you plan to deal with politics? (see Facebook, Twitter issues right now)

The only way we can all actively fight for our right for encryption and privacy is by starting to use and switch to services which respect our privacy and offer e2e encrypted services where the provider itself has no access to our data.

Switch your email to tutanota.com or Protonmail, Switch from WhatsApp to Telegram, Switch from G-Drive and Dropbox to Mega.nz, Switch from Microsoft Windows to MacOS or Linux.

Common!

Lovely read and an interesting practice. If you move from a standard pw to monthly chaning password it might even be safer. If you switch from a military grade super password to a password related to your "guessable" goals - well security might suffer.

Still a great story, who knows if I'll implement it soon ;-D
