The Manifesto Of The Dealmaker Is Simple:

Just Because Something Has Been A Lot Of Work Or Consumed A Lot Of Time Doesn't Make It Productive Or Worthwhile.

The Commonsense Rules Of The "real World" Are A Fragile Collection Of Socially Reinforced Illusions.

There Are Tons Of Things In Your Home And Life That You Don't Use, Need, Or Even Particularly Want. They Just Came Into Your Life As Impulsive Flotsam And Jetsam And Never Found A Good Exit. Whether You're Aware Of It Or Not, This Clutter Creates Indecision And Distractions.

Sometimes You Need To Go On A Low-information Diet.

Remember—boredom Is The Enemy, Not Some Abstract "failure.
