Appreciate your insights. November 7, 2024 Decided to eliminate a source of dissonance: the ānewsā. Quit it, like one quits alcohol or other drugs or harmful habits. Filling the vacuum with creativity and reading. I invite anyone and everyone to be news free.
Happy to be back for another year. This was the most relatable content for me in 2024 - and I'm excited for what I might learn about myself in 2025. I've done more exploring and learning this year than any year prior. Content about GTD really resonated and I've noticed a shift in my output. I'm not accomplishing more per se, I'm just happier with what I can and do accomplish ("I am an actor playing a role" helped me immensely - never would have thought that would be the trick after so many years of trying the pomodoro method).
So, thank you, Chris. I've been a follower/reader for a long time, and I look forward to more from you in my inbox!
Chris, this one really hit. The line āI donāt think Iād be who I am without all of meā is something Iām going to sit with for a while.
That constant dance between acceptance and actionāthe dissonance you describeāis exactly where I live too. Some days I want to build systems and optimize. Other days, I just want to be okay with the fact that I forgot three things before noon.
But reading this reminds me that Iām not alone in the dance. And that maybe the goal isnāt to fix everything, but to learn how to move with the music of our own minds.
