structure in chaos

I tend to resist structure as it feels like a slippery slope to conformity.

But as more and more of life consists of simply changing tabs or apps on a fixed screen, it's easy to get lost without any sense of beginning or end.

We talk about feeling stuck because of our 9-5s, and tout the benefits of blending work and personal lives, but in the absence of clear deliverables, schedules, or routines, the world becomes an endless sea of stimuli to react to.

Intentionality is a super power more than ever before. And as someone who takes pride in being independent, it's never been more important for me to start somewhere and iterate.

• What is my working style?
• What do I want to make tangible progress on?
• How do I get there?

Web3 encourages us to get in touch with our most creative selves, to be active instead of passive, intentional vs mindless. But we must make space for this kind of work, find accountability to remain consistent, and be receptive to adjust strategy as needed.

I've always loved these seasons (everything goes in waves). And now, with more autonomy than I've ever had, I look forward to tinkering with even more granularity things like optimal meeting cadence, effective time blocking, and accountability mechanisms.
