What values does your team share?
The Secret
Allow yourself to go down rabbit holes
A rabbit hole is not a distraction. A rabbit hole is your brain trying to tell you to pay attention to something you’re curious about. Ignore algorithmic rabbit holes.
If you see something, save something
Pay attention to what feels resonant to you. Save breadcrumbs and build a path for yourself to walk down later on. The ability to classify information in a personal way is a muscle worth exercising.
“Creativity is just connecting things”
Over time, build contexts for yourself and your ideas. Analyze what happens when you connect those contexts to someone else’s.
Remember
The goal is not self-improvement. The goal is engaging more deeply with the World.
What does your workplace look like?
What is the master plan?
Our ideal outcome as a company is not becoming the next Facebook (god forbid), it’s becoming the next Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan, a hot spring hotel in Japan, and one of the world’s oldest businesses (founded in 705 AD).
