Clear Thinking

"Good judgement is, above all else, about being effective at achieving what matters - not what matters at the moment. In the moment, but what matters in life." - Shane Parrish

"[Steve] Jobs had a daily ritual. Every morning he would look in the mirror and ask himself, 'If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?' Whenever the answer was no too many days days in a row, he said, he knew needed to change something. At one point in my own life, I began performing the same ritual. It was part of the reason I eventually decided to leave the intelligence agency."

The book Clear Thinking by Shane Parrish is a good read.
