The Skills & Tools You'll Need for 2020, 101, 1-10

1. Attention. The ability to hold it and focus it in a world of more noise than ever.
2. A French Press. Don't mess about. Drink decent coffee.
3. No. You'll need even more 'NO's than ever to hit your priorities and have a personal life.
4. A Wall Planner. Analogue, yes. Old-school, yes. But schedule ahead that which you desire to happen.
5. Walk. Walking keeps you sane, keeps you well, helps you think.
6. A steamer. Eat more vegetables across the spectrum sourced as locally as possible. Google it: it's the one bit of diet advice which is consistent across all cultures.
7. Make. Get out of your head. Tend a garden, knit a jumper, bake a cake, paint a wall. We're a mind-body. Not a brain with a body attached. Integrate and work it.
8. Expert. Become your own: financial in particular.
9. Propelling pencil: fast and ever-ready for thoughts and sketches and more.
10. Stand. Strengthen your back, think better and have more confidence.
