This is one of the most powerful questions you can ask yourself. I do it routinely on the first Sunday of every month.
From this episode of the @tferriss show with @jerrycolonna.
https://t.co/oXebQBdNKI
Whenever I'm lagging on a project, I ask this question to put the Resistance out into the open.
From The War of Art by Stephen Pressfield (a must-read).
https://t.co/5hHYa51VmG
Using the inversion technique, which I learned about from @JamesClear and wrote about here:
https://t.co/mHFSLUaTVv
I sometimes overcomplicate things that could be much simpler. But societal forces heavily influence me to do so.
For a deep dive, check out this post from @nateliason 👇🏼
https://t.co/GfRs5R2hg6
Assuming something is simple and then figuring out how that might be true always shakes up my perspective.
The first of three questions from @tferriss' blog post 17 Questions That Changed My Life
https://t.co/HxZazlVFeB
I sometimes get stuck in my default way of thinking. Completely inverting everything I'm doing and asking what would happen always refreshes my outlook.
Again from @tferriss' 17 Questions That Changed My Life
https://t.co/HxZazlVFeB
When I'm feeling overwhelmed, this helps me identify what is the highest leverage thing I can do.
Taken from a few sources, but mainly @GregoryMcKeown's Essentialism.
Thinking in extremes helps to wash away my self-imposed limitations.
Found while reading about Peter Thiel, a rabbit hole I went down after reading @david_perell's stellar piece on him.
https://t.co/UOQ8gCSw6s
When faced with a big decision or problem, I ask myself this question to look for a bolder response.
From @DavidDCain's article "How to Get Out of a Rut in 20 Minutes"
https://t.co/AgbFPPkmGb
A similar theme of removing self-imposed limitations. Questions like this shift my mindset.
Taken from @TaylorPearsonMe's Antifragile Planning Article, a master class in setting your intentions.

THREAD: I've thought a lot about what it means to be wealthy.
But putting a "number" on it is a one-way ticket to the rat race.
Instead, here are 10 indicators of wealth (which have nothing to do with money):
1.
Wealth is the ability to choose:
• How you spend your time
• Where you spend your time
• Who you spend your time with
Learned from the wise @jamesclear
2.
Wealth is freedom from:
• Negative people
• Negative thoughts
• Negative emotions
• Forced obligations
@EricJorgenson's Almanack of @naval says it best:
Wealth is not freedom to, it's freedom from.
3.
Wealth is a calendar without recurring meetings.
Recurring meetings mean you're on someone else's schedule.
Empty calendars mean you're on your own schedule.
Here's an example
4.
Wealth is the ability to say no.
Early on, building wealth requires saying yes.
Yes to people, projects, and places you're not thrilled about.
But you've found wealth when you start saying no.

1. Publish on a schedule. Consistency develops ability.
2. Share your writing publicly. Writing is a magnet. It attracts like-minded people.
3. Write about what fascinates you. You don't need to be an expert. Curiosity leads to expertise.

👨💻 Last resume I sent to a startup one year ago, sharing with you to get ideas:
- Forget what you don't have, make your strength bold
- Pick one work experience and explain what you did in detail w/ bullet points
- Write it towards the role you apply
- Give social proof
/thread
"But I got no work experience..."
Make a open source lib, make a small side project for yourself, do freelance work, ask friends to work with them, no friends? Find friends on Github, and Twitter.
Bonus points:
- Show you care about the company: I used the company's brand font and gradient for in the resume for my name and "Thank You" note.
- Don't list 15 things and libraries you worked with, pick the most related ones to the role you're applying.
-🙅♂️"copy cover letter"
"I got no firends, no work"
One practical way is to reach out to conferences and offer to make their website for free. But make sure to do it good. You'll get:
- a project for portfolio
- new friends
- work experience
- learnt new stuff
- new thing for Twitter bio
If you don't even have the skills yet, why not try your chance for @LambdaSchool? No? @freeCodeCamp. Still not? Pick something from here and learn https://t.co/7NPS1zbLTi
You'll feel very overwhelmed, no escape, just acknowledge it and keep pushing.
