It’s nice to think that we do our best work irrespective of time, place, location and habit. That we produce what we produce regardless of the setup.
But we also know that it’s just as much the other way around.
With repetition, you, in a certain location at a certain time of day, produce a certain kind of work that has a certain quality. This might be work that you produce alone, with one other person, or with a team.
“This is what we do here at this time in this way.”
The production of great work is, as much as anything else, a learned behavior in response to our environment. Writers know this. Athletes know this. Artists know this.
That’s why that empty chair is calling out to you.
“Come here, today, and sit. I know it doesn’t feel like it, but if you do, we’ll do great things together.”
As always, very thought provoking . . . thank you Sasha for waking up our brains form a weekend of Tryptophan.
From my chair to yours, Sasha! It’s been a very productive day. Rain helps.
