This is what makes decisions. And stores all your memories. Seriously.
Conscious Thoughts
Subconscious
This is what handles facts and plans But it’s single core, it takes up a ton of swap space, and it accepts all interrupts from feelings.
This is where your best thinking comes from.
Multicore GPU with on-board memory.
Your deepest self is your power source. It’s both unbelievably strong and entirely silent.
Feelings

Self-help books are generally ideas, systems, or cheerleading.

Repeat yourself
Clarity
If it’s important, keep saying it. People will assign importance (and truth, unfortunately) to things they hear over and over again.

@bitcapulet
@bitcapulet
Write it down
Clarity
You’re surrounded by whiteboards, email, wikis, and other tools. Find the right one for your purpose and get your thoughts in front of people.
