Quotes, ideas, and insights referenced:

“Swaths of psychological research show that our happiness in any given moment is a function of our reality minus our expectations. When reality matches or exceeds expectations, we feel good. When reality falls short of expectations, we feel bad.” - Brad Stulberg, Master of Change, page 47

“Be regular and orderly in your life so that you may be violent and original in your work.” - Gustave Flaubert, French novelist.
