Coding, or designing, or writing pitch decks, or making sales calls, or preparing spreadsheets, or writing blog posts, or social media marketing, or buying ads, or choosing the right color, or picking the right paper, or making a layout responsive, or investing in companies, or doing due diligence, or making decisions, or coming up with a strategy, or allocating capital, or figuring out how to spend the budget, or reading up on a subject is not hard work. That’s just work. If you can do it in an air conditioned room, with no physical threat to you or someone else, while seated, it ain’t hard work.

The moral of the story is that one is always better than zero. It’s better to get 1 view than zero because you were waiting for your “big break.” Big breaks don’t often exist. Lebron became an all star player after 10 years in the gym. Nothing happens overnight.

Keep moving forward. Small steps. Increments. Bite by bite.

I have to constantly remind myself of this because I like to think big and dream big.

But the big stuff, the stuff that could be — the destination, the outcome, the endgame — comes after the little stuff.

I’m trying to get pumped about the little stuff more often. So rather than visualizing the end result, I’m trying to visualize the work that needs to be done to take the next step forward.

In other words: Instead of thinking about what the big project will look like when it’s done, I’m thinking about the next task that will move the project closer to completion.

An absurd human knows about his mortality and yet doesn’t accept it, knows about the limitation of his reasoning, yet still holds it dear, feels the pleasure and pain of his experiences and yet tries to take in as many as possible.
