Changing the answer is evolution, Changing the question is revolution.
āJorge Wagensberg
āI donāt think we talk enough about the in betweens. The part when you know you want to change something but donāt yet know how, donāt yet feel strong enough, donāt yet know what your first step is. So to the people in the in betweens, donāt be disheartened, donāt give up. Youāve done the hard part. Now just take it one small step at a time.

Joan Didion reflects on the personal and introspective nature of keeping a notebook, delving into memory, self-reflection, and the significance of past experiences.

from Eileen Myles:
I hope thereās mystery and poetry in your lifeānot even poems, but patterns. I hope you can see them. Often these patterns will wake you up, and you will know that you are alive, again and again.
One of the things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise
... See moreThe fastest decisions Iāve ever made are ones where I was confident in my taste; the slowest decisions Iāve made (or have yet to make) are ones where I question it. (And the latter tends to be a symptom of trying to overintellectualize my taste, to compare it to othersā taste, to judge my own taste ā which defeats its purpose.)
Donāt do any task in order to get it over with. Resolve to do each job in a relaxed way, with all your attention. Enjoy and be one with your work.

āConfidence is belief in yourself. Certainty is belief in your beliefs. Confidence is a bridge. Certainty is a barricade.ā
-Kevin Ashton
The antidote to envy is one's own work. Always one's own work. Not the thinking about it. Not the assessing of it. But the doing of itā¦ [T]he work itself. It drives the spooks away.
