_{One idea to experiment with:}

Stitching together little gains:

Some observations on small things being big things:

• a piece of clothing is a thousand tiny stitches

• a million dollars is a million single bills

• a human being is a collection of microscopic cells

• one mile is a few thousand small steps

• one year is half a million minutes

• a good relationship is a hundred small gestures and I love yous

• a clean house is a pile of little chores

• a painting is dozens of brushstrokes tied together

• a reputation is a handful of promises kept

• a strong body is a thousand individual reps

You can distill the complex, insurmountable, and elephant-like tasks into bite size pieces. This way, there’s a tangible path, a narrative you can stitch together piece by piece.

One block might be too big to fit in the confines and constraints of your work setting. But sliced into pieces, you can perform the micro tasks on repeat, all day.

_{Two quotes on chaos:}

_{Three questions on capturing the present}

1. What routine daily happenings will I regret not capturing to remember 30 years from now? 

2. How can I record more — video, audio, photo, journal?

3. What moments am I too heavily relying on a memory that will fade?

Which question stuck with you? Questions like these are spotlights for the mind. Reply to this email and let me know which one shined light on a previously dark cave.
