Thanks Matt for your writing! I came across your How to Quit your Job notion page with all the great content you compiled into the guide through Paul Millerd's musings. Gave me the inspiration to take the plunge and leave my job. Now looking forward to the New Year with a mix of goosebumps, fear and excitement... fingers crossed 🤞

yeah I would say I've been collecting them. most of these are from simple, direct observations of my daily life. not so much from rigorous studying or reading other about other people's journeys

Great list Matt!

#3 and what you said about the "creator economy" was a good insight

I'd argue that for #1, if you're single and still looking to get married, then location is everything.

Richard Florida talks about this in his book Who's Your City.

Thanks Brian. Yeah, I think meeting one's future romantic partner comes down to intentionality and being physically in the desired location. I met my girlfriend in NYC a week after moving back there, so I can attest :)

Big +1 to this one:

12. Inner work matters more than most people realize. Self-awareness and emotional health directly shape the quality of our choices, speeding up the path from insight to action.

100%. From a convo I had yesterday with a friend, authenticity is also part of this. The more authentic one is acting / being in, the more fluid/effortless/easeful their actions will be.

Is this a sexual innuendo
