tiny fires blur the sky

I’m confident about the inputs. That’s my line. That’s a daily thought and frame of mind. Where I get scared is…maybe I am deluding myself and using the inputs as a self-defensive mechanism.

New behaviors create new graphs. New graphs don’t necessarily create new behaviors. What you’ve got to develop is a passing comet that can fly-by Saturn with a uniquely better offering. This offering is giving Saturn orbiters a chance to do something they can’t do at all today. It’s not about making what they can do slightly better or easier, it’s giving them a path to something bold and unmet.

Ways to contribute to an operation in two rough buckets: Determine the work to be done. Do the work. Player-coaches fit right between the two. When you are determining the work, I think of it as being the DJ. You and/or a team are choosing what track to play, for how long, in what sequence, and at what time. This enables the individuals you manage to go and actually play that song.

“What can I do to help you get there and make a decision?” What a fantastic question — and especially when holding space for friends to think things through.

It also got me thinking, if this is what a current soon-to-be retiree is doing and the precedent for every fifteen year-old with their own iPhone going forward…we’re screwed. I’m screwed if I think I can do good work, take in the world around me, hear myself think, focus on others, and be tied to reality all while having an incredibly addicting, noisy, and distracting ten icons available on my phone to explore at any impulse. List goes on and on…and we all use physical items (branded or not) to tell true, fake, complete, and incomplete stories about who we are or who we wish we are.

But just know, their work and sacrifice is the thing that got you six. And maybe immediately go over to dap them up.

No one knows the right answer. I certainly don’t. I just know that I’m wise enough now to stop, think aloud, and as myself and others — is this what we really need to be doing now?

All this could happen and I wouldn’t necessarily barge through the apartment door and share that. It takes a nudge or a simple question from Nick for me to feel comfortable on a social level unleashing the 4 min story. “What's up,” “how’s it going,” “I had a weird day today, how ‘bout you?” is all that it takes. Just a simple prodding and boom, here comes the story. If he doesn't ask that because he’s busy coding, relaxing, or cooking, it won’t come up.

Something I’ve been thinking about is how pre-programmed an action can feel. How long does the sequence take and is it consistently the same one?

Here are the rules. The person in the center ring can say anything she wants to anyone, anywhere. She can kvetch and complain and whine and moan and curse the heavens and say, “Life is unfair” and “Why me?” That’s the one payoff for being in the center ring. Everyone else can say those things too, but only to people in larger rings.

While icebergs are obstacles that can be avoided to survive, rime is more deadly. The only way in which you can remove rime is to put in the work and chip away at the ice consistently over time.

In our personal lives, many of us let these types of emotions rule our choices. Think about how many times you and your friends have told a close friend to quit their job/get out of a relationship/stand up for themselves/do something else risky. Instead of following what everyone is saying, often people defy the advice of the people closest to them and trust their gut (whether it’s right or wrong is irrelevant). ​ My friend Ryan is famous for saying “confident about the inputs” and that’s kind of all many of us have. Take your inputs, your external data points, and your internal thoughts, and iterate on your stances.

You realize relationships, non-relationships, and fun nights out are easiest when you’re brutally honest. You don’t quite know it yet, but you’ve established one of the pillars of your short life that honesty is indeed the best policy.

I am not convinced as Andy suggests that reading retention and note-taking are fundamental skills of knowledge work. What's more I have a suspicion that many knowledge workers over-rely on the act of collecting notes. Too much note taking is pernicious: it feels like doing something, while also giving you an excuse to endlessly delay putting forth your own thoughts until you have all the pieces. Rather than collecting and storing thoughts, the deliberate practice of knowledge, the expression of creativity that comes from play, necessitates sharing nascent and feeble ideas.

what if instead of spiraling and plotting an escape, I just took a breath, looked at the sky, and said Thank you to all the lives and choices that took me to where I am?

Here is my secret. It’s quite simple: One sees clearly only with the heart. Anything essential is invisible to the eyes.

I’ve begun to understand that I’m essentially a collection of “selves” that change subtly throughout the day, and I’ve learned to manage these “selves” as different workers—or like a great football coach who knows how to get each player to play to his full potential. OmniPlan makes it very easy to create task dependencies and realistically budget for weekends, holidays, and other planned time off. There is nothing better than taking time off and knowing your work is still on schedule when you get back. For longer projects, it’s also very motivating on a daily basis to see how staying on a preset schedule today translates to time savings weeks in the future. It also helps avoid the natural tendency to waste time until a fast approaching deadline forces urgency.

OmniFocus can only tell me what I’ve told it to tell me. I just have to look and listen. And I look because I trust myself.

Note, there’s no longer an ellipses in the “Save as PDF” command when wiring up the shortcut.

After using SwiftUI for a while, I decided to come back to the frame method, and study it again,. However, now we do it with experienced eyes.
