Today I decided to go for a short walk around noon. After 10 deep breaths to clear my head, and a few minutes gazing into nature I headed back to my house. Like I said, a short walk.
On my way back I decided I needed some first principles to work off of. I often have way too many side projects and ideas, coupled with a somewhat busy life my wife, kids and our farmhouse, I am often busy.
I don’t mind being busy, but I often feel like I get lost in it all. My focus goes haywire and I need better patterns to fall back on. Hence, the first principles.
I realized on my way back that I had just created one. A daily walk in nature to clear the mind is a great first principle. It required nothing from me, and will almost guarantee that I come back with a clearer mind, ready to focus on the right things.
Do you have any first principles? Perhaps you should. I think 1 is more than plenty to get started.
