Anywhere and anytime.

If you can workout anywhere and anytime, you are unlikely to workout anywhere or anytime.

Having a space and time for things makes it likely that they'll happen, especially things that make our lives better.

This is why "work from home" doesn't really work.

Yes, you are able to get tasks and chores done when the manager is breathing down your neck. But the work that matters, that can actually take your career forward, that just keeps getting put off for later.

Instead, what if you made space for it? Once a week, can you go to a particular cafe for an hour, just to do the hard part, make decisions that might change the trajectory of your work?

Once you make the space for it, the space would build a practice. And all meaningful change starts with a practice.

“...emotional labor is the work of change, decision-making, and strategy. It is the difficult work of embracing incompetence as we learn new skills, and the challenging work of seeing and then implementing real change. This is easy to avoid, which is one reason we spend so much time on chores and tasks.”
