@tferriss Coincidentally, we wrote a blog about this exact topic recently: gapingvoid.com/the-moon-was-n…

Ninety-nine percent of people in the world are convinced they are incapable of achieving great things, so they aim for the mediocre. The level of competition is thus fiercest for “realistic” goals, paradoxically making them the most time- and energy-consuming. If you are insecure, guess what? The rest of the world is, too. Do not overestimate the competition and underestimate yourself. You are better than you think. Unreasonable and unrealistic goals are easier to achieve for yet another reason. Having an unusually large goal is an adrenaline infusion that provides the endurance to overcome the inevitable trials and tribulations that go along with any goal. Realistic goals, goals restricted to the average ambition level, are uninspiring and will only fuel you through the first or second problem, at which point you throw in the towel. If the potential payoff is mediocre or average, so is your effort. The fishing is best where the fewest go, and the collective insecurity of the world makes it easy for people to hit home runs while everyone else is aiming for base hits. There is just less competition for bigger goals.

@anujcodes_21 Great stuff. Mostly same tricks work in Claude Cowork

🚨 Anthropic just showed a 24-minute workshop on how to actually do prompts for Claude. Taught by the people who built it. Free. No registration. No paywall. I've seen $300 courses that don't cover what they teach in the first 8 minutes. Watch it and bookmark it now.

To celebrate this go give a clap to the hit of 2026 on "The Trust Gap: Why Generic Survey Tools Fail at Workplace Feedback" @jessica-on-hr/the-trust-gap-why-generic-survey-tools-fail-at-workplace-feedback-9b4d55dc97b3" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@jessica-on-hr…

I am happy to announce I've been distinguished as world's top HR Software Reviewer. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
