“How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives” reminds us that what we do each day eventually becomes our life. Therefore how we spend each day in the singular, becomes how we spend our life in total.
“How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives. What we do with this hour, and that one, is what we are doing. A schedule defends from chaos and whim. It is a net for catching days.
Quote by Annie Dillard: “How we spend our days is, of course, how we spe...” “How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives. What we do with this hour, and that one, is what we are doing. A schedule defends from chaos and whim.
What we do with this hour, and that one, is what we are doing. A schedule defends from chaos and whim. It is a net for catching days. It is a scaffolding on which a worker can stand and labor with both hands at sections of time.
Write down the goals you will achieve today. Make a list where it is visible to you OR keep in your pocket. Do not spend a lot of time thing, Take action, start working. Just imagine if you can do this everyday, soon you will see changes in your days and this is what will make your life.
I don’t have to rely on will power, because about a year ago I started to reorganize my life to habitually do the things that serve me, and remove the opportunities for doing things that don’t serve me.
If your habits aren’t designed, specifically and consciously to move you towards the good life, your life is not moving towards the good life.
For example, I take a minimum of seven mini vacations a day. When I grind my hemp seeds, make my tea, at a leisurely pace, like someone who doesn’t have a care in the world. My 10-minute rests.
My life is a lot like music. A dance. It has rhythm, it has tempo, it has beauty in it. Not events… No cravings. No peak experiences.
My beingness used to be very chunky, forceful, rigid. A place where Virgo meets ‘Forget Thyself’.
I did everything in it, every day. It took me maybe 20 minutes a day? Not more.
I can observe you and know what your life is. I don’t even have to see you because I can feel you.
