Sundays are for scheming
Every Sunday I’m plotting to do one thing better than last week.
Planning is for the birds.
The idea of it is fantastic.
How could you not like a plan like this: On Thursday evenings I will write posts for Friday through Monday, that way I have the weekend to think about other things and can get a good start to the week. On Mondays, I’ll write posts for Tuesday through Thursday, so I’m basically covering the whole week in two writing sessions.
But that’s not how it works. Nor is AI going to solve any of this, unless the writing is for the vanity of having written rather than what you discover by actually doing so.
That’s not replaceable, no matter how good it will get at matching what you would have written. Let the AI fill out forms, file status reports and write the endless “I hope this email finds you well” emails. But the work of figuring out what you are thinking by trying to communicate it to another is not going anywhere.
And the results are often surprising.
All of this is a long winded way to say that my plan for the coming week is not to plan.
Rather, I just want to see what happens when I relinquish the impulse to direct.
Last Word.
Control can only get you so far.
Till next time,
