I love that you published this today, after yesterday. Walking the talk.
Type A people write the stupid productivity books and suck all the oxygen from the internet. I’m proudly Type B and have no desire to become something I’m not.
Thanks, so great to meet you yesterday, Brook! Ha, that's the ironic thing about Type As, they are so accomplished they do take over the webs. (I feel like on the Type A/B continuum I'm smack bang in the middle).
Was just pondering similar for myself today ... frustrated that everything feels 'hard' then realised it was my over-engineering and push for perfection that was making things harder than necessary. Barely adequate is a confronting, but powerful starting point!
And sorry I missed that lunch! Spending time with Valerie and Suzi is always powerful!
Thanks, Cat, yes totally hear you about getting into that over-engineering trap. I do seem to start there as default,then I need to snap myself back out and really ask, "What result do I want?" and "Ignoring all assumptions about this thing, what do I actually need to do to get said result?". And also, YES, powerful is the perfect word to describe both Valerie and Suzi!
So needed to read this today 💪
Glad you found it at the right time, Matt!
Great reframe on honoring the process to getting good at something.
Thanks so much! Yes, we have to be kind to ourselves when we begin
