Hello there friend! đ
Good to talk with you again.
Itâs been a while.
Iâve tried to comeback for the past 2 weeks but itâs like with anything, itâs harder to break the status quo than to keep doing what you already have.
But this time Iâm changing it, restarting the momentum, and revving up the engines.
Letâs go!
Main quest đĄ
To recap what weâve been going throughâŚ
Weâve seen how not to get stuck when starting a new project or taking on a challenge.
How to know when to keep pushing and when to pivot to something different.
How to close the gap between the âknowingâ and the âdoingâ.
How to accelerate our progress by teaming up.
How to face the 2 most common enemies of every creative & knowledge worker: Perfectionism & Impostorâs Syndrome.
And we also started going through a practical exercise where you took stock of the different talents/interests/skills you have even if they are quirky but useless.
Next step was taking that list and giving it some structure by creating 3 columns where to place every item in.
So the pieces are there, the raw material is avaliable for use.
What we now need is, not just use it, but get some whimsy and âcreative messâ going.
Itâs sort of like any other art form, music, painting, filmmaking, etc.
Thereâs an element of sampling, remixing, copying, or mashing things together.
We will be doing that the items on your 3 columns.
Thatâs the next step. Thatâs what will help you see your own skill stack coming together and taking shape.
And with it you can not only deploy it in your work, current or future projects, but also enhance it, expand it, boost it with the current technology that we now have available.
The idea is that you can recognize whatâs unmistakably yours and take it to next level.
Develop the skills that will complement the work you already doing or create a new line of work where youâre playing to your strenghts instead of competing in a race to the bottom with others.
Far from the tyranny of the current workplace that has forced us to specialize in just one thing at the expense of our other talents and abilities.
So this is a checkpoint along the way. Itâs a pit stop (to keep using the race metaphor from the start đ)
Next time we talk weâll continue doing the work. Mixing items, matching patterns, and creating something valuable from what you already have. Before we turbo boost it with other tools at our disposal.
To consider đ¤
Take the time this new week to come up with that list of skills/talents and then the 3 columns (or dust if off if you already got itđ)
And we will put it to good use with next weekendâs activity.
Thatâs about it for this time.
A short and sweet edition to break the inertia and start moving forward once more.
Enjoy your Sunday and get some rest for the new week starting.
Weâll talk again next weekend. đ
Cheers,
Juan.




Welcome back, Juan! Always love reading your musings about better thinking, and this is such a key process.
Getting crystal clear on skills, passions, experience we often shrug off or never realise we have some level of mastery over can be so incredibly useful.
