6 ways uncommon sense will make 2021 the year of your come up.   1.) With great responsibility comes great power. (When you take charge, you gift yourself leverage.) 2.) Be unimpressive (do it shitty). Concern yourself with the process instead of the result. 3.) Celebrate the "no." (The more you get a “no”, the better the odds of “yes” are).  4.) Recycle the trash. (Turn what seems bad or unuseful into gold.) 5.) Lie to yourself. (Just like setting your clock ten minutes ahead, tiny fake-outs can produce honest progress.) 6.) Tell those you love how much they suck. (In your head, of course, feel how appalling it is, then realize you do it to yourself all the time.)
