50 things

Here are some of my favorites from Cate's 50 things she learned that resonate with me. It's something I'll comeback to.

Have fewer, if unsure how to have better opinions.
The 12-step program works, and it’s steps 4 and 8 (Moral Inventory & make an amends)
Double your estimate to reduce errors due to the Planning Fallacy
Do first the thing you want to avoid to reduce psychic burden.
Childhood scars do exist. Don't be a victim of your past.
10 years ago you looked better. Consider the same today. Be kinder to yourself
More of, never satisfies.
burn out = (increasing) effort * time
execution > ideas
incongruent motivations of people still result in success.
Saying 'I'm wrong' or 'I don't know' indicates social strength.
Your calling will cross your path several times.
Revenge is handled by your instigator with time. So let them.
Ask first if they want to vent or solve.
Hire for people that give a shit.
Know when to quit.
Be of service to feel better.
Save yourself to save the world.
Avoid totalizing ideologies.
Being fully honest is liberating choice.
No love, however brief, is wasted
Suffering is what gives people texture.
Forgiveness is a thing you do for yourself, not the other person. When you can't, just accept this and move on.
Being too kind or too chill is not a thing.
Pay special attention to the thoughts that gnaw at you.

Happy hackin'!
