Have you ever read Derek Sivers? He has this idea that he’s been playing around with recently - “useful but not true.”
Thinking about things in terms of lasting forever may not be true. But it can be useful for getting us to be more oriented to long-term rather than short -term solutions.
I haven't, but I just skimmed through a few of his articles and looks promising.. thanks for the recommendation :) have you been reading anything else interesting lately?
Yeah, managing duality is always difficult. I like to think of things as long term, but at the same time, knowing it won't last forever can be liberating as we avoid falling into the trap of assuming that any solution we implement will be permanent. So we can focus on more flexible approaches that can evolve and change over time
Paul Millerd is a writer I discovered in the last year that I like. He wrote a book called The Pathless Path which is a reflection on people’s relationship to work. - https://think-boundless.com/boundless-newsletter/
I watch a lot of YouTube though these days (partly because I’m trying to build a channel myself). Check out Discover Connection. The creator behind the channel is currently posting a series where he traveled around America for 30 days fueled only by the kindness of strangers. - https://YouTube.com/@DiscoverConnection
Oh and one other person I forgot to mention: Suleika Jaouad. Her book Between Two Kingdoms was the best book I read last year. She's got a great substack newsletter as well: https://theisolationjournals.substack.com/about
