“What gets projects done for me is not inspiration. It’s curiosity and rigor.” Being interested and inspired is never going to be enough to propel a project to completion. Being thorough and exhaustive isn’t the most glamorous part of a project, but it’s necessary. ~ Andrew Zuckerman
It’s the aptitude for hard work that separates the ones who reach a different level of stardom.~ Andrew Zuckerman
Being “great at failing” is something to strive for.~ Beth Comstock
The ‘Ok Plateau’ is the point when we turn on autopilot and stop getting better at a certain thing. ~ Joshua Foer
What are you doing to create more meaning for yourself? ~ Laura Guido-Clark
Myth: The best way to get more done is to work more hours. Most of us push through our natural work limits without realizing that our productivity suffers dramatically without regular breaks. ~ Tony Schwartz
