Hell Yeah or No: what's worth doing
by Derek Sivers
- Actions reveal real values
- Don't diffuse your energy. Know your goals and use them as your compass, optimising your life around it
- "How you do anything is how you do everything. It all matters"
- Combine future-focused and present-focused mindsets
- "Saying no makes your yes more powerful"
- Say no to "almost everything". But when you say yes, commit 100%
- "Hell yeah or no... saying yes to one thing, and no to absolutely everything else"
- Ambitious: silver medallist focusing on gold or grateful: silver medallist focusing on bronze
- Great insights come from having many great options
- Pursue being wrong
- "The most successful people I know have a narrow focus, protect themselves against time-wasters, say no to almost everything, and have let go of old limiting beliefs"
- Apply ideas to your life, don't just read them. Reading is about what you do with the ideas you come across
- "Judge a goal by how well it changes your actions in the present moment"
