Shortform #59 The Great Outdoors and Good Conversations; Hammertime Days 6 (Mantras) and 7 (Aversion Factoring)
Yesterday we went hiking for 3 hours around the absolutely stunning hills / mountain surrounding Devil’s Lake, Wisconsin. The road trip there and back was fun and picturesque too, Wisconsin is gorgeous. We had dinner with one friend’s friend at a grand café in town and that was lovely, great food and great conversation.
Today we went to an excellent brunch at one friend’s friend’s house and spent several lovely hours there eating great food and having great conversations with an excellent bunch of people. Then, a trip to the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art which was fantastic! Later, we met up with another friend of one friend and had more great conversations and a lovely time. We then came back to the house and ate steaks cooked sous vide which I now believe is the only viable method for cooking a steak and all other methods result in significantly inferior tasting steaks, seriously.
I did not make much time for Hammertime today and yesterday due to focusing on other things with the little productivity focused time I had + doing very active vacation things that took up most of each day’s time. I’ve scheduled in a longer intermission period for our group so that myself and others can catch up, reflect on our experiences, tune lists, etc. before moving to the next phase of Hammertime on 2 August.
Earlier tonight, I replied to all comments on my posts that I referenced 2 days ago and said I’d reply to by tonight, so I’ve done that.
Legibility continues to be on my mind, and I’ve brought it up constantly the last few days in conversations. I suspect that’s because without legibility, or maps of reality, it’s not very possible to take deliberate focused actions in goal aligned, personally congruent directions. Which, one must do if one wants to become the best version of one’s self, solve hard problems, navigate the unknown, etc. Legibility + deliberate actions reinforce each other and make someone “level up”. I suspect I will incorporate these thoughts into a review or analysis of Hammertime in a retrospective post I will make once my group and I finish that sequence.
