Things Learned from James Clear’s 3-2-1 Newsletter
James Clear
“Double down on your best relationship.
It's the investment with the highest return.”
“People who jump from project to project are always dividing their effort, and producing high quality work becomes difficult without intense effort.
Meanwhile, your average work day can be leisurely, yet also productive, if you return to the same project each day.
Do one thing well and watch it compound.”
“Many people wish they started sooner. Almost nobody wishes they started later.”
“Failure is most useful when you give your best effort.
If you fail with a lackluster effort, you haven't learned much. Perhaps you could have succeeded with a proper focus.
But if your best effort fails, you have learned something valuable: this way doesn't work.”
“Being yourself is a continuous effort.
There is always another expectation placed upon you, another person pulling you toward their preferences, another nudge from society to act a certain way.
It's a daily battle to be yourself, not merely what the world wants you to be.”
“Don’t feel qualified? Nobody does.
You can only be qualified to do that which you have already accomplished or trained for.
Anything new is accomplished by unqualified people.”
Executive coach Cherie Carter-Scott on life-long learning:
“Lessons are repeated until they are learned.
A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it.
When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson.
Learning lessons does not end.
There's no part of life that doesn't contain its lessons.
If you're alive, that means there are still lessons to be learned.”
Thanks for reading! Hope you have an amazing weekend.
