I loved this, Grant. I actually saved it for future reference because there is a lot of theory and mental models I can use for my own benefit.

Thanks for putting all of this together, I will definitely take a read on Smart Notes because that's an area in where I'm still learning.

Keep up the good work, you are rocking!

Great piece, Grant! It felt like sitting with a friend who’s wrestled through the struggles and is now sharing his roadmap.

I especially like how you combined the wisdom of thinkers like Anne Lamott, Sönke Ahrens, Isaac Newton, etc., with your own journey. It made the advice feel real and attainable.

Your honesty about the early struggles is captivating, and your emphasis on scaffolding ideas externally is spot on.

Thank you for sharing this. It’s genuinely motivating and practical! Cheers!
