Using software tools is part of life in 2023Conscious desire for thriving often fails to drive choices of apps we use, but I will show you clearly why it should, and how to more thoughtfully approach our use of technology. We have a relationship with our software that goes almost completely unexamined, and the nature of the relationship is this: we meet the tools where they are — we use them as they demand to be used — and our minds change to accommodate those usage patterns. You’ve heard how this impacts your physical health — your chair is f@*king up your hips, your keyboard is f@*king up your shoulders, and your screen is f@*king up your eyes. Develop awareness of how your software is f@*king up your mind.

How we think about things changes how we experience themWhen we relate our lives to the analogy of a path, we are bound to approach, prepare for, and experience our lives similarly to how we would a path. And that is a problem. When we think about the ingredients of a good life, do we necessarily conclude that ostensibly aimless wandering is counterproductive? We can and should opt for a more productive way of looking at life that accounts for discovery and exploration, passion and experience, and growth through uncertainty. This article points to a better way to view your life, one that is more inspiring and engaging than the “default path”.

Life moves fastYou get swept into a flow that works well enough, but you feel an underlying agitation, a nagging question about whether the path you are on is actually right for you.

You read and you listen to podcasts, not for the fun of cramming information through your ears, but to build understanding by developing your ideas on the subject matterHowever, time spent with the information, on its own, will not turn these materials into well developed ideas.

By adopting the right tool, you will turbocharge your ability to think productively, in a way that will not only improve your understanding but also improve the tool itself over time. This article explores 5 reasons why we humans need a tool, what that tool should look like, and how your intuition and creativity will be set free.

Something powerful happens when you externalize an ideaIt becomes real. You can work with it. You can agree or disagree with it. You can expand upon it. I’m sure you’ve experienced this in conversation or even in writing — once you get started, progress is initiated. More begins to flow. It has been said that “every intellectual endeavor starts with a note.” In order to develop your understanding of and thinking around a topic, you must first start the ball rolling with an externalization. But what and how to externalize is not always straightforward, and can stop the progress right from the start. When you adopt an effective process for expressing and integrating ideas, systematic thinking, continuous idea generation, and sustained progress is the result. This article will explore how to adopt a system of expression that will help you to really learn, and to take your ideas further with less strain.
