For The Interested - FTI #347: Boundaries
Our ability to succeed is directly related to our ability to set boundaries.
Here are the boundaries I've set.
They've had a huge impact on my work and life.
Now, on to this week's ideas...

The Starting Five

4. How To Write A Riff (And Why You Should)
"Forget about 'visibility' for your post. The unit of blogging isn’t pageviews, it’s conversations."

My Final Words Of The Week
When my 4-month-old daughter goes to sleep, she doesn't just go right to sleep.
Shocker, I know.
There's a process of gradual steps she goes through before eventually drifting off.
There's a lesson there for all of us.
The result you want rarely comes without a process of gradual steps toward it first.
Have an interesting week!
Josh
