Work rhythms (concentric circles): Handle the things closest to you expediently; expect delay; preserve all documents and conversations; cultivate and expect repetition
Listen (but do not become cynical)
Respect everybody: This is invaluable and good human

Your work: Always your work
Relationships that aid your work
