About smoking and meditating
Read this somewhere on reddit
Student: Teacher, may we smoke while we meditate?.
Teacher: Of course not! Don't be ridiculous, you are meditating! focus! smoking is nothing but a distraction.

Student: Teacher, may we meditate while we are smoking?
Teacher: Of course! You may meditate whenever you like! Don't let what you are doing stop you from practicing!

The Cult of Done Manifesto
How to live your life by Bre Pettis and Kio Stark:
There are three states of being. Not knowing, action and completion.
Accept that everything is a draft. It helps to get it done.
There is no editing stage.
Pretending you know what you’re doing is almost the same as knowing what you are doing, so just accept that you know what you’re doing even if you don’t and do it.
