Key Takeaways
Identify high agency in yourself and others by looking for a 'bias for action' and the refusal to be blocked by 'impossible' stories.
Combat digital distraction by using two phones: a 'Kale' phone for utility apps (Maps, Notes, Uber) and a 'Cocaine' phone for addictive social media that stays in a drawer.
Adopt the 'Lion' work model by alternating between periods of intense sprinting and deep rest/reassessment rather than constant, low-intensity 'grazing' like a cow.
