This title, reminds me of the backstory of ALL the productivity "gurus." They say they read everything and tried everything so you can take it from them. The only thing is...what they got good at was getting you to pay them to teach you about productivity!

Ironically, I got this by reading everything about productivity. Not a joke...back in the 80's, I read every book on the subject because I really wanted to know. And have been a bit of a productivity addict ever since. But now, getting the long view, I wish I had just learned more about who I really am, what matters to me, and just used the energy to live my own life.

Recently, a guy passed away in our little town. I thought to myself that he was a rare thing, just himself, not to shaped by some idea of what he should be. Taking to him was like sitting near a stream, or a warm campfire. Somehow so nourishing. Would like to see more of that in the world.
