Insight

Steven Pressfield, on work and effort:

"How many pages have I produced? I don’t care. Are they any good? I don’t even think about it. All that matters is I’ve put in my time and hit it with all I’ve got. All that counts is that, for this day, for this session, I have overcome Resistance."

Micro Thought

Accountability is a powerful motivator.

When you're part of a group, science shows you’re more likely to fall in line.

The social pressure to do so pushes you. And, most importantly, the group’s identity becomes your identity.

Some of the most important psychology experiments in history have demonstrated how quickly an individual falls in line with a group that's acting or thinking a different way.

This is, as renowned psychologist Angela Duckworth puts it, the power of culture. Over time and under the right circumstances, the norms and values of a group become our own and we start to internalize them.

Eventually, the way the group does things and why becomes indoctrinated to the individual and becomes the way you do things and why.
