Welcome to this week's useletter.

The newsletter that's useful. Focussed on your future not my past.

“You can’t be busy and frenetic and bouncing off the walls with 100 projects if you’re obsessed about doing something really well.” - Cal Newport

It’s a quote from an episode with Cal Newport on the Tim Ferriss Show. One that set my mind pinwheeling…

Questioning some of my choices and contemplating how we’re the curators of our lives. It’s not too much of an exaggeration to say that every waking minute of every day we’re faced with a choice.

→ To continue doing the thing we’re doing now;

→ To stop doing that thing right now; or

→ Planning what we might do in the future.

I’m questioning how I might be curating my life? Choosing what I do and consume. Aiming to be more intentional about it.

And to paraphrase Cal Newport, perhaps we should all consider setting our personal curatorial goal to:

Do less, and only occupy ourselves with things of quality.

Instead of focussing on the busy work, focussing on the obsessively great work.

PS: Committing to commissioning workshops for your practice is also about curating your practice. It's a choice that ends with a happier adaptable team that works more efficiently and effectively. Download the précis HERE.

The curation dilemma

Doomscrolling is a choice.

So is sleeping in,

going to the theatre,

eating deep fried take-away,

staying in a job you loath,

going to the gym,

etc.

Some good, some bad. It’s all perspective. (From time to time the bad is good)

So why not choose the things you love more intentionally?

We might think we have no choice, but we always have a choice. It just might take a little more creativity to come up with alternate, more attractive, and productive choices. By being creative, you’ll end with better choices.

Not changing is also a choice.

It’s all about curating what you do (or don’t), and consume (or not). The trick is to be more mindful in our choices, intentional. Making choices that add value to our lives, rather than just filling them up.

Less is not always more, and more is seldom more. Making space where it’s needed and choosing to give time to doing something “really well”, has value.

If we were to structure our lives around the paretto principle, what is the 20% of effort that’s going to give us 80% of the outcomes we’re seeking?

It might take courage to change how you curate parts of your life.

Doing it in small steps is OK.

The way you curate your choices is the way you'll shape your life and experiences.

You got this.
