The detour most travelled?

Seth; Quick shortcuts (in search of):

There aren't many actual shortcuts.
There are merely direct paths...

ouch... bite the bullet, jump the gun and all that. So now what?

The main reason for jumping on the wagon when Seth Godin did his kickstarter, was short gems like the one above. Just a quick post - shared for free - that gets the mind racing. Gained more from a single idea post than from some thick business books.

Sure, a lot of them center on the same kind of themes, but each one has a different kernel.

Like this one. A shortcut is not a useful concept. Because it implies that your are not taking a journey, not learning, not doing everything you could - should - would.

And that is just as bad as doing nothing, procrastination by another name. Avoiding the tasks or goals that should be front and center.


So - new week ahead. Set the sights.
