Learned: Random, mostly visual info about Hobart, Tasmania. There’s a KQED podcast called “The Cooler” that’s kind of fun, and another non-KQED podcast called “Strange Bird” by Mona Chalabi. I’ve challenged by my old roommate TY to post on Facebook 10 days of highly influential music albums (cover art, no explanation) and to invite others to do so by tagging them in the posts. 3.
3+1: Improvement. Shamanistic therapies. Women getting into politics. My ability to hone. 3+1.
Seems: Like sleeping is more effective with CPAP, but still not completely therapeutic. Like I’ve been stingy and positional by not answering questions on Quora. Like Margaret Wheatley is going toward something like what I do, to endeavor to feel good, or as good as I can under the circumstances, while still doing something to improve circumstances for someone somewhere (in time, space, etc.). 3.
The Three Questions:
Ask “What if I made this Easy?”
Ask “What about this is REHAB?”
Ask “What if I made this Important?”
Top Three Desirable Habits that want to strengthen:
✔︎ Upgrade: BE willing to do things differently than I think I can.
✔︎ Use LIFE as Rehab (like going with the flow).
✔︎ Embrace community; put self-care first.
Note: If I AM a conversation, establish a way to remember that it’s still active. (Stage 2, remember/forget)
Thinking about: Changing up the format again. The constructs homo sapiens use to make it seem like they’re holding it all together. A trip to Western Union and the market. 3.
On-purpose ways of being, continued: Courageous, radical, confronting and enchanted with forgiveness, peace, freedom and unconditional love in the background always.
Accomplished: Answered two Quora questions. Slept somewhat better with larger CPAP mask. Made dinner and ate it. 3. Bonus: Ordered sandpaper and pantry moth traps.

Key Idea 4
Organizations are dynamic living systems.
No single recipe or best practice is sufficient to manage a complex dynamic system. The key is to be aware of the interplay among the company’s multiple stakeholders, and the constantly changing personal dynamics between individuals. To maintain equilibrium and stability while also innovating and disrupting, it is necessary to address the system as an integrated whole, taking into account competing instincts without choosing up sides.
Q:If we saw life through the popular view that “everything happens for a reason,” for what reason did you just read (and comprehend) Key Idea 4?
A: Wow, I really didn’t want to read it, and when I re-read it, my brain seemed to go all thick and gooey. After writing that, I thought about reading it out loud to myself, which often over-engages my split attention enough to grasp something that went in muddled the first time. So I did that, and experienced my tongue as part of the thick, gooeyness of the idea. I was more noticing the gooeyness than paying attention to the words. I guess I could say the reason I read it was to notice what happens in my experience when I attempt to gloss over explained concepts that I could easily grasp if not mired in a conversation that there is thick goo between myself and the outside world.
Video: https://youtu.be/Q459ZtKoErI – it’s the whole album and you should really set it to play…
Watched/Watching: Took a chance and listened to music instead. Reviewed a “Smiths” playlist; I used to relate to these songs, but lost my taste for them. Huge source of glum outsiderness! No longer feeling it, but remembered the pathetic feeling of being stuck in circumstances not of my own choosing. Later, I learned, but oy, the suffering. Also listened to an old fave, Portishead’s “Dummy.”
Will resume reading soon:“Collaborating with the Enemy: How to Work with People You Don’t Agree with or Like or Trust” by Adam Kahane. Will read again.
