🌱 July 2023 (Retro and Planning)

Hey there 👋

I have a big sign on my door that reads like this:

a door reading with a sign saying "passion"
The Door To My Flat

It’s a reminder to spend my days wisely – to turn “Oh no, I got to…” into “Hell yeah, I get to…”

During the last two weeks, I felt the effect of passion on my motivation. I started arranging a beautiful song for a choir, and this gave me so much joy that it’s almost effortless to work on it (well, at least most of the time).

I’m wondering – why don’t we spend more time on projects like this, so-called passion projects? I’m sure there are a lot of activities that would give us such a boost of motivation and joy (and replace the more discouraging activities). Maybe we just need to allocate some time for them to grow?
