So, if I’m hearing the zeitgeist correctly. Currently, the best competing advice I hear along venn intersections is:
0. Do less things
1. Do things at a natural pace
2. Obsess over quality
3. Don’t obsess over quality, eff the haters!
4. Do more things
;)
- Arcanum-XIII 2y agoUhmm, the correct way would be: 0. focus on less thing; 1. have fun doing them; don't stress about it, you're not competing; 2. do it, more and more. The important point is to DO. Everything else will come, eventually.
- b33j0r 2y agoTouché. It’s just fun to watch this attitude towards productivity go in cycles. Yesterday they recommended that it was a glass of wine, and before that two glasses of red, then a bottle of white. We kinda always knew it was wine, and like… stuff we can abstract away about blood pressure, moderation, hangovers, fond memories, and whatever, uncle Conrad. No, we solve that particular thing like all things. But as a consumer, you’ve gotta average out the signal of strong claims. “Eff it!” and “Obsess over it!” are diametrically-opposed opinions about work, which I suspect many of us agree with both, a bit. We try to explain it over and over again as each generation finds the same problems with new tools. Maybe it’s not that bad—but hey, at least my commentary was coherent enough to post ;p
