In Tuesday’s newsletter, I wrote about poems so good you want to hang them on the refrigerator.
Old ways to do new things
In yesterday’s newsletter, I wrote about looking for old ways to do new things. (And old ways to do old things, and new ways to do old things and new ways to do new things.)
Interview with Oliver Burkeman
Next Monday, March 28th at 2PM central, I’ll be interviewing Oliver Burkeman about his work and his book, Four Thousand Weeks. You can set a reminder to tune in via YouTube:
This was really fun. Watch my chat with Oliver on Youtube:
Why Am I Talking?
In the comments of my newsletter on interviewing and wanting to be a better listener, a reader told me about an acronym people in the coaching world use frequently: WAIT, which stands for “Why Am I Talking?”
There’s something about this acronym that is more helpful and hits much harder than my usual “Shut up and listen” mantra.
I’ve taken to giving myself temporary tattoos on my arm:
I just spent the week doing promotion for the Steal Like an Artist 10th anniversary, and WAIT took on a different meaning: Why am I talking here? What am I trying to do with my words? It sort of kept me “on point.”
We are just about to break ground on my new studio. Construction always takes about twice as long as you think it will, so the WAIT on my wrist tells me to relax, stay calm, the days will accumulate.
