Getting Things Done

What you'll wish you'd known

• It's hard to decide what job you want
• You don't learn in high school waht to do with your life
• Work forward from promising situations rather than working backwards from a goal:

this ensures that you're using your time efficiently!

• 'Stay upwind' -> 'work on hard problems'. Treat school like a day job, work at your passions at night. You're wasting far too much time agonizing and procrastinating anyways.
