It’s actually encouraging to read through this list and know that I naturally have most of these as pressure-release-valves in my models.
- Overthinking? – Write. No problem here.
- Uninspired? – Never.
- Scared? – Only watching my son race. My work is all risk. I’m an entrepreneur.
- Stuck? – Walk… sometimes. I’m rarely stuck. I just (do) and (build) my way out of everything. Or, create content.
- Tired? – All the time. Still working on this.
- Confused? – Ask. I’m good at this 🙂
- Frustrated? – Rarely. Keeping active makes this almost impossible. Every constraint is a problem to solve.
- Burned out? – All the time. Working out and sauna are the solutions here (for me).
- Impatient? – Never. Life moves at the pace it does. Look at the Stoics.
- Unmotivated? – Action. Action. Action.
What would you add?
All the best,
