everything everywhere all at once
I’m sorting and prioritizing things but I shouldn’t think linear cause reality can be non-linear, circular, multidimensional, paradoxical. so I should care about some more than the others but I should care, think, do all of them at the same time.
mess
life is a mess. infinite things are always happening at the same time. we can’t dominate all of it but we can try to get close as much as we can.
Jackson Pollock
Life is a Jackson Pollock’s painting. It’s a mess. An ocean of randomness, information, chances, choices, opportunities, threats, costs, benefits, possibilites, probabilities, thoughts, connections, experiences, paradoxes, complexities, … all woven together.
When I understand this I see the bigger picture and don’t get obsessed with tiny details. Despite all of the complexities and excuses, big picture, what we have to do and what we can actually do is very simple.
This complexity brings a huge mass of uncertainty that can paralize the perfectionist mind, although these countermeasures come to my mind:
- current best guess
- Plan A & B
- Satisfice
- Good enough
