“Life has never been about progress, productivity, or even success. It’s about experiencing and living. Humans are the only animal that thinks, ‘I’lll go out and beat my enemy into submission.’” #writing #life

If your life is a systems problem, you aren’t living. #life #system

Wisdom is knowing when creating a system is not needed. #life #wisdom #systems

We alll have peculiarities. Some are just more peculiar than others. #life

If you don’t know what you’re doing, you’ll never know when you’re done. #life #productivity

When you have a great idea, write it down where you can find it. Having a great idea doesn’t mean you have to act on it right away. If it still seems great after a week or a month, go for it. Otherwise, it’s just an idea. #life #productivity

Never underestimate your stupidity or overestimate the intelligence of others. #life

If you don’t believe it, doesn’t make it false or go away. Conversely; if you believe it, it doesn’t manifest or become true. #life

It’s amazing how humans love to hear people talk about stuff they already know or agree with. #life #failure

Life isn’t about being superlative. It’s about being who you are and helping the world be superlative. #life #success

We become who work to become. Many work at nothing. #life #failure

Observation: group of coworkers at the next table. The lone woman is talking non-stop. THe rest of the table is silent. This is an observation, not a value, or other, judgement. #life #character

Don’t manage your time. Manage your tasks and what you need to accomplish in the time you have. #productivity #life #success

I really don’t understand humans. I have several neighbors who drive to their mailbox which is at most 100’ from their front door. I don’t understand them, but I can predict their behavior. #life #human #character #writing

I’m overly motivated I want to: — buid a tricorder circuit — plant some things from the fridge/pantry — write 3 more books (ideas in place) — get back to restoring some fountain pens — replace the print head on the Bambu printer (just laziness) — try to learn to transmit CW (again) — other . #life

Philosophical: Are “creative” people creative because they arre? Or because they are searching for something in their life? #life #creativity #philosophy
