This is such an important article. It has blown my mind how much of my adulthood already feels like a blur at the age of 23, and I’m committed to breaking that loop. Adding variety into my routine has not only helped time slow down a little bit but it has made my weeks more enjoyable. I feel more sane, not just like a robot going through the motions. Thank you for sharing this! I hope this article reaches everyone who needs to read it 🤍!

Gold as always. The Internet is filled with hustle bros who are loud and obnoxious. Your quietness and wisdom puts those guys in a tiny corner in it comes to talk about THE TRUTH.

Well done once again, my friend. You never miss.

"Creativity isn’t a personality trait, it’s a muscle." What a quote! I'm currently reading acclaimed choreographer Twyla Tharp's The Creative Habit and that's basically what she says. And she flexes that muscle with an embodied discipline (including a 2 hour/day gym routine) that makes you forget she was in her 60s when she wrote it.

Absent the benefits of some basic routine, it makes sense that a species who were roaming hunter-gatherers for 95%+ of our existence would get sad doing the same boring thing every day. Design life at your own rhythm, or someone else will design it to suit theirs.

I loved this topic. Certainly relatable! I felt unhappy at my job and when I got laid off, I was unhappy in other ways. At the end of he day, we just need to learn who we are and what we are called to do! Identity is everything!

Exactly! Finding that balance is key
