Basics 7: Just slower

1. Great when it's hot: just go more slowly; stop generating your own internal heat.
2. Perfect in a meeting: stop accelerating towards a poor solution.
3. Amazing days off: notice every moment.
4. Cooking is better for it: better prepped onions, a perfect marinade and flavours exploding.
5. Intimate conversations: listen, be there and notice.
6. Take 90 minutes: and then no clock watching. 
7. Connect again: to the fabric of the universe.

How To Be Brilliant (v2) 1-50: 7, Help Others

Why not help others? It's fun. It's human. You learn a lot about yourself. And some, in return, will help you. And in a chaotic world we all need all the help we can get.

The book.

Jagged Thoughts for Jagged Times, 418

At Totally, Totally Global Inc., the new HQ offices were smarter than ever, the 'gender-free' rest-rooms equipped with the most gorgeous of hand-gels and there appeared to be more coffee-stations in the buildings than coffee mugs.

Of course it was all a distraction from sitting at your desk all day, staring at a screen and thinking WTF?

How To Be Brilliant (v2) 1-50: 6, Invest in Yourself

Always have a book on the go. An audio version in the car, a pod-cast on your phone. Immerse yourself in the new skill until you have got it. Discounted cash-flow, unplugged presenting, copy-writing. Invest, invest, invest. Once you have the skill nobody can take it away from you. You are constantly becoming more valuable. Invest in yourself.
