Story- The action and time needed to succeed
Paraphrasing here and putting into an animator's lexicon. Time well spent is spent on story. Don't be afraid to kill your babies - "by killing you will make something better live". Abandon crap and be ruthless. Have the idea that you need to enforce every storytelling part of your shot by clearly executing your beats/phrases. Don't let failure paralyze your work. But allow yourself to create enough work by having a schedule of what gets done no matter what and through this you will create that 1 piece that excites you and makes those previous shots worth the time. Know that before the special shots come there will be a lot of crap to sift through - a lot of trying stuff out if you will. You didn't become an animator that wants to create mediocre stuff - you want to create something memorable, something special

Snap Foo! Get those micro expressions in ur work
Great lecture on micro expressions and how to use this to push your subtext.
Just a thought
I just read a great article in 3D magazine about VFX legend Phil Tippet. The one thing that resonated with me the most is the advice he gave about finding balance. As animators we are constantly judging our work. Becoming as he described"hyper-focused" on what's 'wrong' with our work, and that's the death of an artist. Instead take a look at it from the perspective of what can make it better.
