I’ve added a new category to the blog. It’s called “Lifestreaming”. Lifestraming is a methodology for Life Design as developed, inspired and created by Jessica Mullen. I was introduced to Jessica yesterday in that inter-web-you-don’t-know-me-but-I-am-following-you-online kind of way when I was surfing around looking for artsy-fartsy printable planner pages. (I was suddenly struck by the urgent need to re-invent my life management system. And I promise to post about all the amazing things I found in the very near future because I think you will absolutely eat it up.) The thing that turns me on about day planners and life management systems is that they are representations of our thoughts about who we are and who we want to be and the systems and philosophies (spiritual and/or secular) that we develop in order to realize our dreams. It’s about producitivity in the sense that we are producing ourselves. Which is vital to the macro: creating your life piece of why The Performance Lab exists
If you have ever made anything you care about (and I’m 100% sure that you have), then you know all of these contradictions are true: Beginning is everything. Finishing is everything. Beginning is difficult. Half-way to done can be impossible. Beginning again is essential. You will never finish. You must finish. Okay, just stop, then. And, once you’ve finished, letting go can be more difficult than beginning. All of this has a lot to do with why The Performance Lab exists
Here’s the deal with inspiration. Inspiration is lovely, but it isn’t reliable. It arrives unexpectedly at odd hours in odd places, but you can’t rely on it and it rarely provides you with enough fuel to carry you through to completion. If you wait for inspiration to arrive before you begin, you may never begin. And if you give up when it disappears, you will give up too soon
