Insight: Trying to whittle down an inbox of 130 to…
"Trying to whittle down an inbox of 130 to 0 is intimidating. You can knock off 20 and it doesn’t feel like you made any progress. It would be useful if an email app had a “help you to get to inbox zero” mode where it would only show you 20 emails at a time. Once you knocked those out, 20 more fill in. This way you can see the progress you are making on a small scale (from 20 to 18 to 13 to 7 to 0) and stay motivated to keep knocking them out on a large scale."

How to Kill a Bad Idea
"No means you have to make tough choices that aren't always obvious at the time. No can be hard, even painful; it can lead to imagining what could have been. But when you make software, it's almost always a good idea to say no more than you say yes. Over time, you'll regret saying yes more than saying no. No?"

Driven to Distraction
"How did I figure this out? Laziness. I got tired and let down my guard and wound up learning something important about myself: I love work, just not hard work. I think hard work is overrated. My goal is to do less hard work. And what's hard? Acting like someone else, writing elaborate proposals I don't believe in, and flinging mud at the competition. That's hard and horrible work."
