Hi, this time was so dense and full of insights! And fruitful. Being ... just 10 days late, I finished my Monteverdi essay and was acknowledged for it. I must say, with exhaustion but no regrets. Now back to normal work, little concert tour this week-end full of ikigai with nice companions and no more lested with that heavy stone. Now I'll cultivate regularity, be that teacher again for one more year but better knowing where I'm heading to. I hope all of you will find your good outcomes, those you aimed for and the surprising ones, and I won’t doubt it. We are with an extraordinary person who even uses AI for good, feeding it with his own insights. And Jim, you did well stepping back for a moment after that 5th day, because all this must have been quite close to overwhelming for you as well. Take care of yourself, you know how, and I see you now with a worthy cohort evolving in ikigai mode. Have a wonderful journey together!

Hey everyone, You may have seen a free AI workshop on today’s calendar. We scheduled this a little too ambitiously and need more time to prepare a great session for you. The last two weeks have also been quite taxing, and I need to take some time to rest and recharge so I can show up fully for our Cohort 4 kick-off next week. Thanks for understanding. For members of the paid cohort: your Harmony AI Prompt Workshop is still going ahead as planned!

Biggest takeaway: I'm far more a strategist with my own destiny than I thought, and already got some territory prepared. My 20 minutes task / loophole not to fix today: Copy and translate a key quotation of Monteverdi's opera Orfeo.

Turns out the reason I never run out of toilet paper, napkins, cat food, giftwrapping paper is not that I'm organised. Never running out means never having to ask anyone for anything. Fifty years of thinking I lacked discipline and it was the setup all along.

Disappearing at home, overachieving at school, avoid being judged by getting into nature alone for resourcing which I still do. Perfectionism too, which stops my projects. It’s visibly here I interiorized the judgements I was avoiding. The loophole to writing, my tiny step: copying the text I want to translate.
