Quotes from the episode

Not everything that comes your way is an emergency. Not everything that comes your way has to demand your immediate attention.

-Matthew Mahavongtrakul

Once you are comfortable with your system and you’re iterating, it actually starts to become second nature, not only to professional life, but to personal life as well.

-Matthew Mahavongtrakul

An exercise that I did with my supervisor once was to actually go through each of these tasks and to see what I thought was high priority, was it actually high priority for the job that I was in?

-Matthew Mahavongtrakul
