Frank Chimero - The Setup →

You know what I’ve learned? A person only flails around in regards to their rig when they don’t have a clear idea of what constitutes their work.

Out of everything one can take away from this mind bindingly brilliant post from Frank Chimero about the tools he uses to turn himself from mild mannered citizen to superhero, please take the sentence quoted above and paste it up somewhere special.

Then, when you find yourself getting distracted by shiny things, read it and remove the word “rig”. Then insert “software” or “task management” or “productivity” or any of the other things you are struggling with in its place. 

But, seriously, this whole post is a must read kids. I could have pulled just about any sentence out of it and it would have been germane to the conversation I’m having with you here. Watch…

And these computers? As much as I love fiddle-faddling with the damn things, I mostly just want to forget I have one and get on with saying stuff and making things.

See? Told you.

Please, do yourself a favor and read this today. Don’t “fiddle-faddle”.
