These 10 principles are basically different aspects of a system/approach to knowledge work that helps us reduce stress, produce more, and live a life of creative joy:
Borrowed Creativity: Stand on the shoulders of giants.
The Capture Habit: Outsource memory to devices.
Idea Recycling: Reuse ideas repeatedly.
Projects over Categories: Don't silo insights - organize them into projects you are working toward, right now.
Slow Burns: Not everything has to be a Heavy Lift. You can accumulate in the background.
Start With Abundance: Don't start from a blank canvas.
Intermediate Packets: Break down work into manageable projects.
You Only Know What You Make: Taking action is the best way to discover what you don't know.
Make Things Easier for your Future Self: Package up things for your future self to use.
Keep Your Ideas Moving: You never need to be stuck.
