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]]. ## Original ![[What is the bullet journal method?-1.jpg]] ![[What is the bullet journal method?-2.jpg]]
