My 6 highlights
-
you can’t do a project at all! You can only do an action related to it.
-
The idea of “mind like water” doesn’t assume that water is always undisturbed.
-

-

-
Deciding isn’t really an action, because actions take time, and deciding doesn’t. There’s always some physical activity that can be done to facilitate your decision making.
-
you have to think about your stuff more than you realize but not as much as you’re afraid you might.
