"Joining a Facebook group about creative productivity is like buying a chair about jogging."
"My narrative is that I've never known what's coming next-I still don't. I fell down the right set of stairs and have been surrounded by people who have picked me up and said, “Let's try this again.” It's been one anxious block of uncertainty after another."

More quotes by Merlin Mann
"The mindless junk of your past crowds out opportunities and sets pointless limitations. Move out the junk, and you create room for the rest of your life. Ultimately, it's not just a question of tidying your house; it's a question of liberating your heart."
"Where you allow your attention to go ultimately says more about you as a human being than anything that you put in your mission statement."
"Priorities Are Like Arms; If You Think You Have More Than A Couple, You’re Either Lying Or Crazy."
"Everything takes more time than you thought, everything costs more money than you thought, and almost everything turns out not quite as cool as you expected."
"Email is such a funny thing. People hand you these single little messages that are no heavier than a river pebble. But it doesn't take long until you have acquired a pile of pebbles that's taller than you and heavier than you could ever hope to move, even if you wanted to do it over a few dozen trips. But for the person who took the time to hand you their pebble, it seems outrageous that you can't handle that one tiny thing."
