A stranger comes to town…
Most planning is about motivating yourself to do the right thing.
Let’s say I want to work on an big project. Then I check facebook.
If I ask myself: “If this would be a movie, would the actor check facebook?” I get a pretty clear answer: “No.” The actor would do something meaninful.
The times in my life where I was the most productive were the time where I was clearly in touch with a narrative.
The more strongly you develop a narrative the more likely you are to get other people to want to participate. If you want to get big things done you need other people to help you.
Yep. I’ve always liked the adage about trying to make one’s own life an artwork (variously attributed IIRC to Oscar Wilde, Nietzsche, Pope John Paul II and possibly someone else too).
