Been thinking about skills for the future.

And fun things to do now.

Surviving is fun. And a requirement for the future.

Scaling amplifies your efforts.

To do either well, remove all of the steps.

And go straight for the target.

Instead of planning things out, I like to put myself in an environment conducive to the changes I’d like to make.

Letting life live me and instead of me trying to live life.

Humans are good at adapting when necessary.

It’s where the saying “if you want a clean house, invite people over” comes from.

I’ve got friends coming over later.

This morning I picked up the clothes I left on the floor.

Otherwise, my visitors would see the mess I live in.

So to build skills for the future or do fun things now, start at the end.

Survivability

Survival comes first.

There’s no point scaling if I can’t survive.
