I'm getting back into philosophy so I thought I'd share my initial roadmap, resources I'm using, and why I think everyone else should go on a similar journey (if not already).

Sometimes even the most productive rituals and habits can get in the way of actually BEING productive. Stop coming up with ways to do The Thing better and just do the actual THING.

Some may find this discouraging to the point of deciding not to move forward. I find it exhilarating because I know there will be a moment that it changes to 1, 10, and 10,000. Each level it will be undoubtedly worth it.

I WILL build something special for millennial dads like myself.

Are you doing a daily raindance as well? Chris W made an interesting post on the need to evaluate the cost/benefit of all these daily habits & rituals we've been convinced we need. If some help, great keep them. Stop & think "WHY" and "Is it a net positive?" Pseudo-productivity is flammable.
Chris Williamson on X: "During my end of year review I asked myself two new questions: What do I do that I think is productive but isn’t?
