Season Four | 4. How to Do Great Work Part 2

Written By kim klassen

from the Paul Graham Essay ‘how to do great work’.

“high morale helps you do good work, which increases your morale and helps you do even better work. But this cycle also operates in the other direction: if you’re not doing good work, that can demoralize you and make it even harder to. Since it matters so much for this cycle to be running in the right direction, it can be a good idea to switch to easier work when you’re stuck, just so you start to get something done.

Season 5. Episode 2 —Lifting the Gate: Overcoming Self-Gatekeeping and Embracing Fear

I’ve been self-gatekeeping my whole life—telling myself ‘that’s not for me’ as a way to avoid the risk of being judged or failing. But I’ve decided it’s time to stop. Today, I faced one of my biggest fears: I put my face on TikTok, talking to the camera, and hit post. It wasn’t perfect—my mouth is wide open on the cover image—but I left it up anyway. For me, this is about lifting the gate and showing up, even when it’s scary. So, let me ask you—what have you been holding yourself back from? What’s your version of lifting the gate?
