Day 28 - Barbell out of stasis https://golifelog.com/posts/barbell-out-of-stasis-1611818159735
"How would a successful bimodal “barbell” approach look like in my work and life?"
Extract from the book Antifragile:
A dual strategy, a combination of two extremes, one safe and one speculative, deemed more robust than a “monomodal” strategy; often a necessary condition for antifragility. For instance, in biological systems, the equivalent of marrying an accountant (stable life) and having an occasional fling with a rock star (good fun); for a writer, getting a stable sinecure and writing without the pressures of the market during spare time. Even trial and error are a form of barbell.
