Make the time.

I hate that sentence.

It assumes a lot about agency, not to mention the reader’s mental and physical abilities. The core of it is necessary to hear, though. It would be better stated as, “You must fight for enough time to devote to the things that matter.”

No one will give that time to you. It’s too valuable to them.

Per essere consistenti basta fare una cosa sola

La regolarità di pubblicazione dei propri contenuti è il modo migliore per mantenere l’attenzione del pubblico, che è molto volatile. Molti creatori non riescono a essere consistenti nel pubblicare i loro lavori, come podcast, blog o video. ​CJ Chilvers ha adottato un metodo molto semplice: scrivere un pezzo al giorno. Non importa la lunghezza o il formato, purché sia originale e…

CJ Chilvers on Buying CDs

Via Ben Crowder, CJ Chilvers starting buying CDs not because he’s a Luddite, but because of the impermanence of digital subscription music: A few years ago, the final studio album from Van Halen disappeared from streaming services. No one knew why. Even Wolfgang Van Halen didn’t know why at first. Then, in an interview much later he said, “I hope people who like it have a physical version of…

CJ Chilver’s Brain-dead list

I originally captured this because something I’m really struggling with right now is feeling the urge to do something but also just not wanting to think about things anymore. Throw things away. There’s no better feeling. This can applied anywhere and is especially useful in the home. Do laundry. It never ends, but it’s also never been easier. Scan. This also never ends. Do you have piles of…

Journaling is an offshoot of meditation—a type of introspection where a record of events is welcome. It doesn’t have to mean the record is permanent. In fact, it’s probably better as ephemeral—permanently locked behind a password. But, the fact that it exists is a comfort in itself.

I think the "just because it's fun" thing will be the last thing A.I. attempts after conquering the professional world, and maybe then we'll get along just fine.

CJ Thinks I’m Wrong

CJ Chilvers posted a short blurb in response to a recent article I wrote for The Sweet Setup, Getting More From Your Calendar. His main point is that I suffer from a common misconception about scheduling:

I hear this sentiment a lot, but I think this is the wrong way to approach scheduling (and, sorry David Sparks, I just hate the term hyper-scheduling). If your week is full of work blocks in your calendar, then it’s up to you to add blocks for play. In fact, if I don’t schedule fun things in my life, they never happen. Blank spaces on my calendar tend to make me revert to the couch, or worse, the couch + Twitter. Schedule date nights, field trips with your kids, vacations, meditation time, photography hikes, real rest, or whatever defines play for you. Make them repeating entries so you don’t have to think about scheduling them in the future. These appointments are more important than work and should be treated at least as seriously on your calendar.

I have a couple of thoughts on this. First, we’re both right. His approach works for him, but not for me. Different personalities will approach their calendars in different ways. This rigid approach where all the slots are filled does lead me to a feeling of burnout after some time. Recurring calendar entries become like recurring tasks: something to ignore, eventually. I plan the things that are most important in my week on the calendar, but relish the freedom of leaving empty spots to fill as I see fit in the moment.

I do not have to schedule fun things: just the opposite. I have to schedule the hard work, the things that need focus. I naturally seek out the fun things.

Second, he’s actually not talking about scheduling. I thought he was at first, but once he mentions recurring calendar entries, I realized what he’s describing is more of a weekly routine. A rhythm to his days. It’s a lot like what Matt Perman advocates in What’s Best Next (he gets into this idea here, but fleshes it out more fully in his book)

Last, I should have prefaced my thoughts on The Sweet Setup with the comment that this hyper-scheduling will be the wrong approach for some people. But it will work fine for others.

Anyway, a conversation of this sort is what makes blogging great.
