Lesson #54: Consume less, Create more

Writing these lessons each day really helps me. I get to feel a sense of satisfaction and progress, as well as heightened clarity and consciousness, by thinking about and writing a lesson for each day.

Stop scrolling

I started writing this lesson earlier .. and just now I’ve been mindlessly scrolling, in a state of tiredness, wasting precious life time it must be said.

Finding balance

As a type 5 (enneagram) I’ve had a lifelong desire to learn and know more. There has likely been no time in my life when I haven’t been actively seeking information and wanting to learn. As far as information goes, I’ve done a LOT of consuming. So I’m seeking to balance that out, finally, by sharing some of the lessons I’ve learned.

Thanks to the internet, we now have access to an overwhelm of information — from podcasts to courses to videos to websites to social media platforms. It only takes one question and you can end up down rabbit holes for hours. And this can be fun and enlightening .. but ultimately, it is not really satisfying.

The satisfaction of creation

There is so much inspiration and content available for consumption .. but if you want to feel better, I recommend aiming for less consumption and more creation.

Reminder to self!

Consume less. Create more.

Or perhaps I might be more specific and say:

Creation > Consumption

Gonna catch myself with the scrolling

Whatcha gonna create? Let me know :)
