Subtract at work

When you start seeing nuances no one notices, you grow as an artist. Take the smallest of shadows. Shadows from a blade of grass, for example.
Caution sign at trailhead
Have only seen a sign like this once. Ever. At any trailhead. To me, social media made Oberlin seem like just another hiking trail. For a novice, it is not.

Leadership non-negotiable – be prepared. Bear spray, water, Garmin. Last year, a headlamp and first-aid kit became new non-negotiables.

Subtract at work.

Less is more.

Take only what you need, only what you can carry.

Everything else is non-essential.

Shed what distracts or complicates.

Subtract relationships, projects, promotions, and clients that keep the main things from being the main things.

Consistently shed

Sitting quietly gives you immediate feedback on your life.

Much of what we do is a trap.

What?

Much of what we do is non-essential.

Create margin on your calendar.

Margin is empty-space were nothing is scheduled.

Margin allows you to be present and go where your energy and motivation take you.

Unhurried. Unencumbered.

Always open to discovery, service, and fun.
