In Brian Eno's #obliquestrategies, one of the cards asks:
What to increase? What to reduce? What to maintain?
These are my answers for 2022:
INCREASE: Presence in daily life
REDUCE: Survival behaviors
MAINTAIN: Compassion
Podcast thoughts: Nora McInerney looks like her voice. Roman Mars doesn't look like his. Neither does Michael Hobbes. I still get the Culpable song stuck in my head and Christian Andreacchio didn't kill himself.
There are a few podcasts I literally can't listen to because of the host's voices and I'm shocked that they're popular podcasts for that reason. (Happy to talk private trash in DMs if you want to guess to vent your irrationally hated voices.)
Got the worst news I’ve ever gotten last week. My mom and I made each other cry laughing all the time. I hate to think about all the deals she’s going to miss out on. I hope she guides me to the best sales forever.
