Do something SO HARD on one day a year that it has impact on the whole year. Break your mental barriers by taking on a challenge that transforms your perspective.

80/

Pareto Principle (80/20 Rule)

A small set of actions (20%) usually creates most of the outcome (80%). Apply this to learning, coding, management, and life to prioritize what truly moves the needle.

SNR

Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)

The ratio between signal (crucial tasks to be done immediately) and noise (everything else). The higher your SNR, the more productive you are. Focus on what matters, filter out the rest.
