A few words on motivation, fulfilment, and process...

Of all the dumb things I have attempted to do in my life, I think writing a Substack piece with the word “motivation” in the title on the hottest day of the year so far, with my allergies flaring up, is probably one of the dumbest.

And yet…

The process of avoiding writing this (I have been avoiding it with a rare focus for the past few hours - I even cleaned out the garage) has yielded some interesting ideas…

OK, so where to start… I think I have painted myself into a corner on Substack because I’m new at this, and I’m stupid. I had the idea of creating a writing course (I still think that’s a good idea, despite managing to sum up pretty much everything I know in one piece earlier in the week), and I immediately set out my version of a curriculum; an order of topics, an order of elements within those topics. A course, in other words. This isn’t rocket science.
