Reminds me of some underrated Peter Thiel advice: almost always an extra hour invested in a project you’re already deeply into will have greater returns than starting some totally tangential thing from scratch.

The tangential thing will always feel better because you make rapid progress at the start, but the real returns come from completion.




So true. Pushing that boulder that's already uphill is super draining.


This is the hardest lesson of all. But it is so true. We lose sight of just how much our efforts, focused on one thing, compound over time.
