The secret is the system… No system? No life.
Unless, of course, you are one of Neal Stephenson’s characters, who rarely set out to do something and do it… They tackle what is thrown at them… Well, I might add…
But you are not one of his characters… and life, without a system, without a clear direction is a life not worth living.
But with some forethought, you can make life predictive, interesting, and good…
How?
Most of what there is to do in a day, most of what moves you towards that ephemeral good life is hard or tedious
Some tasks are hard for me too. Or tedious… And I respond to both hard and tedious with tension. Impatience. Intolerance.
Sitting and watching a video, even if it is a film, but especially if it is a tutorial video, I have about 10-15 minutes that I can suffer it… and then I have to jump up… whole body tight, resistant.
This used to hinder me a lot. I would buy classes and never finish them.
or difficult books… “I can’t take any more of this…”
or doing Starting Point Measurements…
or designing a page
or writing a sales letter
