Reading about a major part of the brain being sub-conscious
Unfinished business in constantly working the brain
Develop mind like water
Single trusted system with regular checkpoints
My secret: I do not know how many balls I juggle, and it does not matter
Making it look easy
The basics

Single-system:

1. Life’s multiple domains that each have priorities
   • Work/home/hobby
   • What is the desired level of system compartmentalization (security, workflow, shared)
2. Using multiple systems feels like two lives
   • Layered calendars facilitate a unified view
   • Two task-lists and deliverables present daily friction 
3. Double-listing of tasks at weekly review (extra work vs friction)

Practical system:

• Weekly planning, and daily stock-taking
• Weekly calendar planning and clean borders
• Collaborating with others
  • Set clear rules and stick to them to provide a reliable and trusted structure
  • Take care of the basic role to qualify to say “no”
  • Make exceptions only after making it clear how it is disrupting the system

Intended Results:

• Mind like water  status of just in time action
• Stress reduction while achieving high productivity
• Live in the “important + non-urgent” quadrant
• Exercise assertiveness and get rid of the self-expending and compromised helpful nice-guy syndrome
• Be intentional about new projects and how they fit in the grand plan

• Life is a mix of successes and problems – hopefully linked
• Happiness with no root is delirium and has no purpose
• Windfall money that is not worked for is not as sweet as that which comes from toil
• Happiness is not a result, but a journey and the linking of the two can define mundane or otherwise (objectively/conventionally unhappy) situations as happy (example: enjoying and old car)
• Contentment is a starting point pr a state of being that can be context or precede the more ephemeral result of happiness (causal)

What Next?

• Document and triage my problems so that I can isolate and live with context (things I cannot change)
• Create a clear path from what is (problems) and the desired (solutions) so that there is constant movement from problems I can solve, so linked solutions
• Internal feeling of “can do”, – let us examine how that can breed contentment and inner peace
