Hacker News Stories and Comments
All the comments and stories posted to Hacker News that reference this book."I was wondering if the community here, such as it is, has any tips for daily exercises or practices that can help me get back on track in a kaizen or incremental way a little bit every day."I recommend the book The ONE Thing, Gary Keller: https://www.amazon.com/ONE-Thing-Surprisingly-Extraordinary-...
The short of it is exactly what you asked for - working incrementally on one small thing. The core of it is a domino effect, where a small thing pushes over a bigger domino. Most of the advice is on how to pick the next dominos. You pick a large epic goal, as a purpose, and a smaller one, which is your priority, and then line them up.
A lot of people were made in a few years, so really, you just need about 10 years to achieve your dream whatever it is. It sounds like you have more skills than most people your age; don't compare yourself too harshly with HN in general.
⬐ morpheos137Thanks for the advice. I will be sure to check out the book.
I too had the same problem, but not any more.What worked for me is this book: http://www.amazon.com/The-ONE-Thing-Surprisingly-Extraordina....
I started getting things done when I ask this question to myself: 'What is the one thing I can do now so that everything becomes easier?' and then do that task.
