Seth Godin has pithy post on procrastination and doing important work. He links to an even better post by Derek Sivers. “When you experience someone else’s genius work, a little part of you feels, “That’s what I could have, would have, and should have done!” Someone else did it. You didn’t. They fought the resistance. You gave in to distractions. They made it top priority. You said you’d get to it some day. The resistance is Steven Pressfield’s idea in his great book The War of Art. “Are you a writer who doesn’t write, a painter who doesn’t paint, an entrepreneur who never starts a venture? Then you know what “Resistance” is.” These are simple ideas, but a good reminder to keep you focused. Bring something cool into the world!
