An explanation of the concept of entropy in a sentence:

Things that are more likely to happen are more likely to happen.

The genius of life is turning rot into revival.

*

For every opportunity I encounter, I ask myself “On a scale of 0-10, how much do I feel this opportunity is a waste of my time?” (I factor pay into this too! 😁)

Then, if I feel a certain opportunity is worth it (because its waste-of-time rating is, say, 3/10 or lower), then I’d eagerly consider it. 

Essentially, I’m asking how worth my time opportunities are… and I do so by first asking how much of a waste of time they are. (Opportunities that are a greater waste of my time will be less worth my time… and vice versa!)

Those who are excited to work with you will be excited to work with you. The key to finding good work, then, is about being the kind of person you would want to work with and finding people who would want to work with you, too.
