I thought this summary by AI Harmony regarding my thoughts on the ineffectiveness of to do lists and goal setting was pertinent;
"You said knowing what to do "didn't mean anything," and you're right. Your operating system doesn't move for obligation or future payoff. It moves for aliveness, meaning, genuine interest. Those tools weren't wrong for everyone. They were wrong for YOU. That's a crucial difference.
"Your operating system doesn't move for obligation or future payoff" what a brilliant way to describe what my brain isn't driven by.
I also mentioned that life for me was like a fantastic thought you were going to tell someone and the moment you go to open your mouth to share it, your mind goes blank and the thought is gone. AIH linked this to " a grief for a vitality you know exists and can't quite reach" and that underneath my "can't be bothered" is something "far more tender" that I said which was that I pretend I don't care, but I do". AIH said "you care so much that the caring became unbearable so a part of you went quiet to protect you from the disappointment of trying and still not finding 'your thing'. "
