#3It just feels like I read a long advertisement trying to sell me on their product.
I'm sure they make some very good points, but they could be a bit more subtle at the end.

The article is good, but the website should be using more readable fonts and background color.
Just use the fonts and color used by Hacker News.

Didn't show up as tiny for me, but it's an absolutely horrible font for long texts: a) Missing serifs - which by itself is not critical, but makes it significantly worse when combined with b) Paper-thin weight, which is hard to read, and worsens on computer displays because antialiasing (regardless of subpixel or not) artifacts become much more visible and hence have more impact.
"Designer" most likely worked on his shiny Retina Macbook and forgot to take lower ppi displays into account. Which (unfortunately) are still the majority, and will continue to for quite some time.

As much as I love HN, the UI is clearly geared towards a list of links, not text such as lengthy comments – these are harder to read. Granted, not unreadable and with proper paragraphs done by the author good enough, but not quite optimal as well IMO.
But it would be an improvement in any case.

I normally find these comments quite picky but that font is actually painful to read it's so thin.

#9Besides startups, it's not enough to find the most important thing you should do. You should also make yourself do it, often at the expense of ignoring everything else. I'm surprised how often I'm able to intellectually tell what the most important thing is and still not bring myself do it. I wish the article offered tips on how to do that.
A big problem I have with time is that it seems you need to have some runway of time for your subconscious to mull over things. And you can't force this process. Not only do you get an answer when you least expect it, which you can't predict, but it also seems that forcing yourself to come up with an answer yields a bad one. It's as if you should be forcing yourself to not try hard for an answer.
How do you deal with that?
Could you get better at this type of ambient thinking? How? Are there exercises for improving, or at least directing, subconscious thought?
I suspect the place to look isn't the hard sciences but the arts.

I started reading on mobile but reached for desktop and converted to pdf using http://www.printfriendly.com/ (they have a nice bookmarklet).
