-Stop over-analyzing things.

-Stop thinking things through and just jump into it.

-Focus on making a habit out of exercising/coding/whatever. Once the habit is done, you will do it without much trouble.

-Don’t tell people what you are going to do, and just do it. Talking about your plans is the worst thing you can do.

-Do the smaller things first. Small goals are easy and allow you to gain a bit of momentum. Think of big goals like ladders, and each small goal is one of the steps.

-Get some momentum going. The snowball effect just works. Every time you might want to quit you will look behind you and see this huge snowball of acocmplishements following you. This helps a lot.

The Naive Optimist: We work a 4-day week and just raised $4.75m

ryanleecarson:

I think there’s something messed up about the startup culture in the USA. The belief is that you have to work 6-7 days a week and spend all your mental cycles on your company. Nothing but pledging your soul to your startup yields success, right?

Not in my experience.

We work a 4-day week at …

"Two years ago we invested $250,000 in Instagram. Thanks to the spectacular vision and effort of Kevin Systrom and the Instagram team, the investment will be worth $78,000,000 when the Faceboook acquisition closes. The work that Kevin and team did will go down as legend in the industry and we thank them immensely. We also thank our co-investors Steve Anderson of Baseline and Matt Cohler of Benchmark."

Creating CSS3 moving circles


Here is a little code snippet to create the illusion that circles are moving across a screen. This is all done in CSS3 but this is only for webkit browsers for now. Here is a jsFiddle preview if you are not currently on a modern webkit browser http://jsfiddle.net/5aaZs/3/
View the code and experiment with it. https://gist.github.com/1917500 

	#circle div {
	background-color: #000;
	float: left;
	height: 60px;
	margin-left: 10px;
	width: 60px;
	-webkit-animation-name: circle_move;
	-webkit-border-radius: 60px;
	-webkit-animation-duration: 4s;
	-webkit-animation-iteration-count: infinite;
	-webkit-animation-direction: linear;
	opacity: 0.5;
	}
	div#one{
	 	-webkit-animation-delay: 0.5s;

	 }
	div#two{
	 	-webkit-animation-delay: 1.2s;
	}

	div#three{
	 	-webkit-animation-delay: 2s;
	}
	@-webkit-keyframes circle_move{
		0% { background-color:#000; }
		30%{ opacity:1;
		  background-color:#ffea00;
		    }
		60%	{ background-color:#000; }	
		100% { 
			opacity:0.5;
			background-color:#000; }
	      }
}


<div id="circle">
	<div id="one"></div>
	<div id="two"></div>
	<div id="three"></div>
</div>
