“I’ve come to the conclusion that working hard, while never a bad thing, is not really the magic thing that leads to great inventions or successful outcomes. Much more important than working hard is knowing how to find the right thing to work on. Paying attention to what is going on in the world. Seeing patterns. Seeing things as they are rather than how you want them to be.”

“Learn to be in the moment, focusing on one task at a time, and immersing yourself completely in that task. If you aren’t passionate about a certain task, allow yourself to move on to something you’re more passionate about. The more passionate you are about a task or a project, thr more energy you’ll put into it, and the better you’ll do with it.”

“Interruption is a dangerous idea. The idea that most offices are set up for interruption… So primarily we’re text based. We think that helps everyone focus on really what they wanna say. Cause when you’re on the phone or so you just keep talkin and talkin. But typing is hard. Typing takes time. It encourages people to be brief.”
