HUDAILY ROUTINES & INCREMENTAL PROGRESS•
-
Today started like a dream: I woke up and went into my yard to get sunlight as I always do. Lately, I’ve been pulling the whiteboard that I use for preparing podcast notes out into the yard for some extra light. Last night, @cameronrhanes rolled into town and as my friends know, my doors are always unlocked for them. So when I woke up this morning Cam was literally on my roof shooting arrows. As a newcomer to archery (thanks to him), I was also thrilled to get some shots in and some pointers. I’ve been practicing but have accumulated some minor habits that need fixing… Cam set me right.

We joked about the fact that neither of us really take vacations. I’ve done it before, but I can’t recall a time when I wasn’t working on a grant or paper or a podcast or my book for more than a few days at a time. This is not to say that everyone needs to work that way, but we were reflecting on the fact that we work on our craft/s every day and it’s just out of love for what we do.
-
I really think that’s the key. There is a time to grind against what you would prefer to do (!) but ultimately, I think our best work, our biggest and most important contributions come from a place of love. So whatever your loves, try to tap into them daily. The results are immense.
-
I have no doubt that our best work, our greatest contributions for ourselves and for the world come from that place of deep love for generative activities, and dedication to the things and people (and animals!) we simply adore.
-
Take it from me, or Cam: if it feels like a steep climb, stay focused, and at some point in the not too distant future, you’ll be waking up in a dream like state as well, marveling at what consistent effort can yield. Daily practices in service to mental health, and physical health, and honoring each of our unique contributions to the world are the key. We’re rooting for you in your search and/or pursuit of that for you!
