## Notes
### System x Practice = Mindfulness
- It is "A **mindfulness practice** disguised as a productivity system."
- "On the one hand is the **system**. On the other hand, we have the **practice**."
- The system helps us with our productivity. The practice helps us with our mindfulness.
- The practice involves us intentionally reflecting on why certain tasks are important, how they will contribute to a larger, more meaningful goal.
- The practice of mindfulness helps us articulate the why. Why are you doing something? And why is this thing important to you?
- "The system helps us make the most effective use of both our time and our energy. And that's really what **guides our actions**."
- "Mindfulness helps us **surface** and **clarify ideas**."
### Interplay of thinking and doing
- It is the [[Flow state|interplay]] between thinking and doing - of ideation and realization.
- The seamless intervals between a [[Sense of play]] and a [[Sense of flow]].
- Working for work's sake results in action without fulfillment, a directionless rowing towards some unknown horizon.
- The combination of productivity and mindfulness allows us to take our **insights** and turn them into **action**.
### Discovering your "why"
- "[[The system helps us organize our 'what' the practice helps us clarify our 'why']]".
- [[The alignment of action and belief results in the practice of intentionality]].
- [[Intentionality drives momentum, powering progression through purpose]].
- "[[Take the things that are meaningful in your life and put them into action]]".
- It's okay if you don't know what is meaningful to you right now.
- The practice of productivity and mindfulness will help you discover what it is that matters most and the things that you can strive towards one day achieving.
- [[It is not a problem to solve. It is a process to manage.]]
- [[The act of discovering what is meaningful is a practice of discovering yourself]].
