The Skills, Tools & Knowledge You'll Need for 2020, 101, 91-101

91. Build a hunter-gatherer way of being into the opportunities of a Dan Dare future.

92. Remember a yes to more work is a no to guitar/story time/slow cook evening....

93. Plan it. Do it. Review it. Plan for longer and do will take less time. Review for longer and next time will be shorter.

94. There is a book which can help you hugely. Maybe new, maybe old. Maybe a novel, maybe non-fiction. Go search.

95. Many terms such as self-discipline, courage and humility are increasingly considered quaint. That's a shame as they are remarkably powerful, healing and applicable in any role. Especially in that combo.

96. Be certain that a robot is applying for your job. Be smarter.

97. You don't need to travel at all far to fall in love again with Planet Earth. What a gift.

98. Newton said he stood on the shoulders of giants. So can you. Read. And read more than you have ever read before. Read/listen on your commute. Read with a sandwich in the park. Read for 30 minutes before screen streaming. Read.

99. Don't think you can't. Start with thinking it's a distinct possibility.

100. Start small. Start consistent. Measure progress. Novel, marathon or new business.

101. Start.

100 Words

Look after yourself, as it all stems from your wellness: your thinking, your creativity, your greatest work.  Walk as much as you can. Vary your diet. Eat those vegetables. Take time out. Manage stress.  Break the cycle of ‘no time’ by taking some time; today would be perfect despite a TTD (things to do) list as long as your arm. Balance mind and body. Get out of your mind regularly in a wind in your hair kind of way. Don’t doubt, just re-plan. Don’t worry, take time for meditation. Don’t fear, think about the best resilience training ever you’re getting.

Wee, Hopeful

and free.

89. Review your finances and be willing to reveal to your adviser, 'I know we've been through this a 1000 times but I still don't understand it...'.

90. Success is inevitable with patience.
