🚀 Stop chasing goals. True success is having the TIME to focus on your top priorities!
10 key mindsets I learned from @shreyas @TKPPodcast
Thread 🧵
1/ Writing forces clarity & enables permissionless sharing. How?
• Share ideas in docs vs presentations
• Asynchronous > meetings
• Creates persistent record
• Surfaces clarity
2/ Use the "antithesis principle"
• Recognize general truths about the world
• But DON'T assume they apply to you
• Optimize YOUR behaviors differently
• Embrace inconsistency
3/ Evaluate options based on opportunity cost, not just ROI
• Consider value of next best alternative
• Don't just minimize effort/cost
• Choose for maximum value
4/ Improve skills systematically
• Decompose into parts
• Identify gaps
• Invest time outside work
• Create learning feedback loops
5/ Enable high agency contributors
• Give space to influence outcomes
• Don't restrict to narrow roles
• Encourage creative execution
• Reduce bureaucratic friction
6/ Writing tips:
• Lead with core insight
• Structure for reader experience
• Use empathy for viewpoint
• Edit ruthlessly for clarity
7/ Systematically build competence:
• Deconstruct complex skills
• Allocate non-work learning time
• Create adjacent skill relationships
8/ Make clearer decisions:
• Consider unintended consequences
• Balance data, judgment, perspectives
• Communicate rationale transparently
9/ Signs of a great team:
