Gyms have prevented more exercise than donuts and DVDs combined. Because, while triple-chocolate-fudge is only eaten by those who’ve already made up their mind what shape they want to be (and it’s spherical), having  gym plans is the ultimate excuse for indulging. Just buying the gym membership makes people feel like they’ve done something, even though the only thing that’s gone down is their bank balance, not their waistline.

The first rule of automation is “If you do something more than once, the computer should be doing that for you.” That’s what computers are for.

Writing is like speaking – everyone thinks they can do it, then does it without thinking, and then wishes they hadn’t. Modern technology means we all work with more words in a year than an ancient scholar would have seen in his entire life, even if he hadn’t died of cholera at age forty (some days that seems like the easier option).

Working freelance is a great way to make money doing something you love. Nine-to-fivers are often jealous of the freelancer, thinking it must be great to work your own hours, not realizing that freelancers work all of them. When you’re in charge of everything from job applications to client communications to invoicing to maintenance to – if you have some time – the actual work itself, it’s important to make the absolute most of your time.
