Personal user guide (with real examples)

Greetings from Big Bend National Park,

I was reminded recently of timeless career advice:

WHAT you work on and WHO you work with — matter much more than HOW HARD you work. 

Life’s simply too short to get this backward. 

Further, the “work” we do on ourselves, is a multiplier to the whole process. 

Now if only there were some sort of (personal) User Guide for that...

✍️ Personal User Guide (Much Assembly Required)

Imagine assembling new IKEA furniture but without any assembly instructions.

That’s basically how we live our lives. 

Luckily there’s an easier approach to take control of our self-improvement. 

Check out my Personal User Guide (with real examples) and create the same for your life. 

🧠 The Day You Became a Better Writer

Scott Adams (creator of Dilbert) wrote a classic short essay in 2007.

In only a few hundred words, it distills writing concepts down for anyone to learn. 

I reread it every few months (takes 90 seconds). 

Check it out here and your writing will improve.

Clear writing is clear thinking. 

Have a great week,
