The smallest actions performed frequently and consistently can eventually move mountains.
In browsing Reddit I found this awesome drawing done with a simple Micron pen by Camtron Art. Zoomed in – seen above – it looks like a few simple lines, and dots. Nothing extraordinary, nothing that seems to require a great deal of talent. This is not too different than the habits or small tasks…

Innovating is not unlike this magnificent whale’s eating habits.
The Humpback Whale – seen above – will take in as much as 20,000 liters to get her dinner, which is comprised of tons of very little creatures. Innovating is not unlike this magnificent whale’s eating habits. You have to take in a ton of data, learn a great deal about your products and customers,…
Lowe’s missed the tiniest little detail on their website forcing me to use Home Depot
Lowe’s and Home Depot spend so much time watching each other. Their prices are nearly identical, as would make sense in a highly competitive commoditized industry.

Leuchtturm 1917
Leuchtturm notebooks – specifically dot grids – are my new favorite notebook. This one, adorned with stickers I found at a local shop, came from a trip to Zürich, Switzerland. I love that it almost matches my laptop. The photo makes it look less the same grey.
