I attended a talk by David MacKay, an expert in information theory, at the University of the Witwatersrand in 1978. He showed us a whole lot of optical tricks, some of which I’ve used ever since. The simplest is to have the audience look straight ahead, and ask them if they can see anything in their peripheral vision. When they say “no”, a card being…

Thanks for the article. It’s an interesting approach and dissection of Elon Musk’s “hunger”. I think one of the takeaways might not be correct, though. In the following response I explain why. Let me know what you think, please.

Great article! I think that this concept was also discussed a bit in Eric Ries’ Lean Startup and in Steve Case’s The Third Wave, although they were referring mainly to early stage companies.

Yes. Am one of those crazy ones who get up insanely early, but it fits my temperament, gives me time to do my work the way that I want to do it, allows me plenty of time to stare out the window at rock walls and love the light. Terrific piece!
Important and popular aren’t always the same thing.
As a matter of fact they’re almost always the exact opposite.

You live in two boxes: your Professional Box and your Personality Box.
One of the biggest frustrations for CEOs or small business owners is not having enough time. Not enough time for completing tasks, for ourselves, or for friends or family.
I read your article with great optimism. Finally, I thought, a hard core military cop type who can write will lay it out.
