be less obsessive
Untitled 2 years ago

I can’t think of a way to describe how this is worth doing that doesn’t end up coming out like pop-psych-babble, but yes, it’s worth it.

I think it comes down to, (like the AA saying), knowing/realizing what you can and can’t control, and acting accordingly.

balance learning and doing
Untitled 2 years ago

One more ongoing thing I’m checking off. I’ve been doing this for the past couple of months with photography, and am really liking the results. I’d sit and read about a subject for weeks, never doing anything; lately I’ve been just taking pictures, and occasionally reading a blog post or something. Much more balanced, and I’m seeing much more clearly how to actually get better, at photography as well as anything else.

Well worth doing, for my type of mindset, anyway.

walk every day
Untitled 2 years ago

With podcasts to listen to, a nice neighborhood near my work, and cool fall weather coming in, I’m really enjoying walking. Well worth doing.
