A brief thank you to slatestarscratchpad, who made a post a month or two ago about “expanding your base” (or “increasing your foundation” or something) – that is using your ability to get things done to learn how to get things done better.
This morning I had a bit of extra energy and time and I used it to read a bit in a book about how to write and another about how to have conversations. Both helped me with current projects and made me feel good about myself, which gave me more energy. Let the positive feedback loop continue!
