Information work increasingly asks employees to handle more complexity—but we should not have to self-manage our own productivity in imperfect systems laid atop programmer thinking to simply do our work.
Matt Alston • Your Project Management Software Can't Save You
In my research and reporting on change and uncertainty, I constantly found a pattern: skillfully navigating change – be it at the level of an individual, organization, community, or even an entire species – demands not ruggedness or flexibility, but ruggedness and flexibility. It’s an example of when non-dual thinking, or holding two competing idea... See more

Prediction: the furious arrival of AI will create a renewed hunger for raw, unpolished, humanity. Invest in documenting your failures. Fact: we live in a time where if you create consistently about something you love or obsess over; it may be a year, or five, but eventually, you'll find a level of success that'll likely make you feel uncomfortable. This is good. And some of the best art you'll ever create will be from your spectacular failures. For example, my most popular podcast episode--What is Trauma--was the result of me realizing and admitting that I had been wrong about 'how to heal the psyche' for the previous 10 years. I thought you could heal through language alone; lol, oh dear little younger Erick! Getting something 'wrong' is literally what stimulates our nervous system to pay attention and attempt to learn something new. Document your process like you're a field biologist studying a wild animal, and share your field notes with us. Despite how sure people pretend to be, we're all trying to figure out just what the duck we are and what the duck we're all doing. Like...are we all contributing to the creation of a new god-like life-form everyday without realizing it because we check our phones 230 times a day, and our phone tracks every tap, pause, eye movement, and sound we make, and all of that will be data for the emerging godlike intelligence? Are we training it right now? Anyways, idk, but, share your notes.
instagram.comthinking is an active pursuit — one that often happens when you are spending long stretches of time staring into space, then writing a bit, and then staring into space a bit more. It’s here that the connections are made and the insights are formed. And it is a process that stubbornly resists automation.
Casey Newton • Why note-taking apps don't make us smarter
one of the latest big theories in neuroscience says that humans are fundamentally creatures of prediction, and not only is creativity not at odds with that, but it actually goes hand in hand with improving our predictive power. Life itself, in this view, is one big process of creatively optimizing prediction as a survival strategy in a universe oth... See more

You're under no obligation to remain the same person you were a year ago, a month ago, or even a day ago. You are here to create yourself, continuously.
