This weekend I’ve had the pleasure of following Oliver Burkeman’s first online course, on the Art of Imperfect Action. Building on his wonderful book Four Thousand Weeks, he provided more insights into how we can all have a healthier relationship with time.
One of the ‘tactics’ he describes is ‘dailyish’ from Dan Harris. This is a wonderfully liberating idea, that we shouldn’t tie ourselves to strict daily routines where they become a source of pain. If we do things most days, or even some days when the going gets tough, then that is good enough.
Dailyish resonates with me as I try to keep up my resolution of blogging every day. Then again, is this just an excuse to drop the habit? I’m not sure so I thought I’d get a bit meta and make today’s daily post a post all about how I don’t necessarily need to do a daily post. Meta indeed.
