"Later, You Won't Be Pumped Up About It Anymore"
"If you want to do something, you've got to do it now. You can't put it on a shelf and wait two months to get around to it. You can't just say you'll do it later. Later, you won't be pumped up about it anymore."

Plans Let The Past Drive The Future
"Plans let the past drive the future. They put blinders on you. 'This is where we're going because, well, that's where we said we were going.' And that's the problem: Plans are inconsistent with improvisation."

Pare Down To The Essence, But Don't Remove The Poetry
"Pare down to the essence, but don't remove the poetry. Keep things clean and unencumbered but don't sterilize."
Simplicity is essential, but it requires careful judgment. The goal is to pare down to the essence, but not overshoot into sterility. Too much removal makes a product lifeless. So as you simplify, don't just cut - refine. Keep the essential core but also retain the poetic touches that make your product engaging, memorable, and human. The right details make simplicity sing.

Hire Managers Of One
"Managers of one are people who come up with their own goals and execute them. They don't need heavy direction. They don't need daily check-ins. They do what a manager would do - set the tone, assign items, determine what needs to get done, etc. - but they do it by themselves and for themselves."
