Essential: focus on the *core* of a skill or topic, rather than overcomplicating. Learn the fundamentals and expand *as needed*, not before.Suitably difficult: make it difficult *enough* that I engage and get in to flow, but not so difficult that I fail to progress.Feedback and iterate: identify ways to get fast feedback and deliberately target my flaws.Progress: focus on *the next steps*, rather than a grand plan. **DO THE THING**. `Don't focus on tools.`Good enough: Do *just enough* to get results. Pareto, then decide if I want to migrate onto a different topic, or if I want to get more value out of the current *thing*.Focus: Direct my focus onto a single task at a time. Do each task *well* and then move on. Rather than doing 2 tasks at 40% in parallel, do them both at 100% sequentially.Form my own opinion: Rather than parroting others' writings, take time to think for myself. Ensure I question ideas I hold important. Check my assumptions.Suspend judgement: I *don't* need to have an opinion. I really don't need to have an uninformed opinion.Essential: focus on what *actually* matters in life, rather than filling my time with endless crap. Simplicity and minimalism.Mindful: Retrain my dopamine and focus.Hands, arms, legs, torso, faces, hair, studio ghibli, anime/manga, textures, japanese clouds, clouds.
