Day 24 - Following a plan vs your curiosity https://golifelog.com/posts/following-a-plan-vs-your-curiosity-1611476451985
"...Can one approach ‘normal’ work as an artist or wanderer does? 80% spontaneity, 20% structure? I wonder if these categories are in fact getting in the way. Because as the tweet eludes, curiosity leads to flow, flow leads to deep work, and deep work is, in fact, the ultimate form of productivity. It’s the best of both worlds. But flow cannot be forced nor planned nor structured into existence. It has to be allowed to happen. Like gardening. You till the soil, add fertilizers, allow just the right amount of water and light, and let the plant do the rest. You can’t force the plant to grow, but we can create the conditions for it to thrive. Same with flow. Perhaps that’s then the intricate dance of structure and spontaneity.
Structure to steward just the right conditions on the outside, but relinquishing all control beyond that. Everything else is left to spontaneity to sprout.
The plan to follow is to follow curiosity."
