Derek, ended up reading the followup article about advice you gave to an incoming Berklee class where you mention:
Focus. Disconnect. Do not be distracted. This is your #1 most important challenge. If you master focus, you will be in control of your world. If you don't, it will control you.
Seems like focusing nowadays is almost impossible. There are so many time sucks, so close at hand.
- sivers 15y agoYes! I agree! This is one of our biggest current challenges! Actually, Paul Graham has written two of the best essays about it: http://www.paulgraham.com/makersschedule.html http://www.paulgraham.com/makersschedule.html and http://www.paulgraham.com/distraction.html http://www.paulgraham.com/distraction.html “Focus” by Leo Babauta is quite good, too: http://sivers.org/book/Focus http://sivers.org/book/Focus
