Linchpin: refuel your tank

I’ve been working on a large software project for a few years now. I’m starting to approach that point where I either need to ship it or I will burn out and give up. (If I spend much longer, the latter will more than likely happen.)

A few months ago, I read Seth Godin’s Linchpin, and it was just what I needed. This book truly is a gift and is one of Godin’s best to date. If you’re doing important work (or want to), pick it up and dedicate some time over the next week to read it. I promise that you won’t be disappointed.

The book addresses why we need to be doing important work and what kinds of challenges that we’ll face along the way. As it turns out, evolution, society, and your mind want you to fail. It’s kind of humorous once you’re aware of what your mind does to you when you’re taking risks and really challenging yourself.

Onward with your emotional labor. Let’s change the world together!
