As a I type, I have 163 tasks to review and/or complete. It is tempting to rattle through the list and choose a juicy one. Start 2-3 easy ones. Instead I am going to force myself to complete a whole task. Then do the same with the next one. Quiet progress step by step, one by one.

Stay curious
I get asked a lot how I got to become Co-CEO. On the things I can control, I say it’s because I stay curious.
At 16 during my first job at Burger King I wanted to find out how a BK makes money and the manager showed me. Years later that understanding is something I often replay.
I am curious about other people’s life’s, jobs and interests. Often to discover I am not personally interested about what their interested in and vice versa. Being curious doesn’t mean you have to love the topic. Learn just enough to file it away for a future moment.
Most recently I was curious about how train tracks work, remembering how fibre optics work, key moments in art history, Nick from British museum Wikipedia entry and child poverty.
Wikipedia is a great place to start. Followed by YouTube, podcasts, interviews, books and good old fashioned getting in touch.
im curious about what I’ll be curious about next.
