Loyal to Whom? Your Effort or the cause?

No one care how much effort you invested - they care about how it can help them from where they are to where they are going
release freely and often. if your idea is all you've got you've got nothing. share it with those who need it and embrace reality.
if you have to lock in knowledge you're turning into a commodity. like the hackers in the 80th used to say. information want to be free
deliberately put time-blocks onto your calendar to practice with the intent to throw away
Do things early enough with margins to let go.  create remarkable space for opportunity.  put yourself in a position where your effort matters and get evaluated by those you want to help
time-blocking, intentional action, reflecting on outcome is key. How often do you do it like that?
