  1. Trying again… Please help resolve my indecision - boosts for reach welcome, especially given short duration of the poll, which I forgot to say originally!

    I’m probably going to finish Stephen Moss’ “Wild Kingdom” today.
    Quick poll -
    What should I follow it with?

    I’m redoing this as when I first posted it there was a typo, when I fixed the typo it changed the duration without telling me; when I noticed that an hour later and fixed the duration it wiped all the responses. Which is, quite simply, bloody stupid and quite annoying.

  2. Diez días

    Hace diez días que volví al mundo de los vivos y empecé a trabajar. Diez. Y ni siquiera puedo decir que hasta ahora no he tenido tiempo de pasarme por aquí para contarlo, porque sería mentira.

    Lo cierto es que en realidad no sé a qué mundo he vuelto. Y, peor todavía, tampoco tengo claro dónde quiero estar.

    Digo más, tampoco sé, ahora que he regresado, quién quiero ser.

    ¿Quiero ser esa mujer que escribe de todo y de nada en su blog, como si una parte de mí se hubiera quedado en los 2000? ¿Quiero escribir esa novela —o la otra, o la de más allá— que guardo en el cajón? ¿Quiero ir a ese festival de cine del próximo mes a intentar vender mi guion? ¿O lo mando directamente a las productoras afines? ¿O lo escondo en el cajón, junto a las mil novelas de las que me avergüenzo para que, igual que ellas, venga por las noches a torturarme con pesadillas de éxito y sueños de página en blanco?

    Tal vez, solo tal vez, resulta que ya no quiero escribir, sino solo trabajar, hacer deporte, salir con amigos los fines de semana, y, por una vez en mi vida, ser normal.

    Quizá, solo quizá, prefiero ocuparme de mi casa, hacer algo decente con ella y convertirla en algo más que el refugio de caos ordenado en el que me cobijo.

    Puede que quiera habitar mi vida sin pretender que sea nada más de lo que ya es. Sin proyecto, sin presión, sin ficción, ni metáfora, ni alegoría.

    Pero aquí estoy, tecleando a deshoras, sobre quién soy y quién quiero ser, con este gesto que me ancla en los 2000, porque es posible, solo posible, que nunca haya habido elección.

    O, por qué no, tal vez no se trata de elegir sino de asumir que soy la suma de todas y cada una de esas versiones, incluida esa que guarda en cajones historias de las que se avergüenza.

    Puede que mañana por la mañana vuelva al papel y al boli, como he hecho los últimos días, porque dejar de escribir nunca ha sido una opción. O puede que siga con los guiones. O con las novelas. O con el blog.

    _________
    PS: Acabo de darme cuenta de que aquí, en esta nueva realidad, quizá, el blog sea un animal nocturno, como lo era, qué curioso, curiosísimo, allá en los 2000.

  5. Self hosting can be a pain sometimes. Do I go with option A or option B. Repeat both options to myself over and over and over. Try each option simultaneously for a while and not reach a valid conclusion either way. Why not both! 😂

  6. The #Finch app said I should "doodle a quick self-portrait" today.

    I don't like looking at my face, and I suck at drawing human faces.

    So I did... Depictions instead.

  12. A quotation from Montaigne

    Deliberation, even about the slightest things, annoys me; and I feel my mind harder put to it to endure the various shocks and ups and downs of doubt and deliberation, than to settle down and accept any course whatever, after the die is cast. Few passions have troubled my sleep; but as for deliberations, the slightest one troubles it.
     
    [Le deliberer, voire és choses plus legeres, m’importune. Et sens mon esprit plus empesché à souffrir le bransle, & les secousses diverses du doute, & de la consultation, qu’à se rassoir & resoudre à quelque party que ce soit, apres que la chance est livree. Peu de passions m’ont troublé le sommeil ; mais des deliberations, la moindre me le trouble.]

    Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist
    Essays, Book 2, ch. 17 (2.17), “Of Presumption [De la Presomption]” (1578) [tr. Frame (1943)]

  14. A quotation from Hannah Arendt

    The sad truth of the matter is that most evil is done by people who never made up their minds to be or do either evil or good.

    Life of the Mind, Vol. 1 “Thinking,” Part 3, ch. 18 “The two-in-one” (1977)

  17. "Choose velocity over certainty." - Futurist Jim Carroll

    Now is not the time to slow down.

    Here's why - all things I've written about before.

    The Indecision Tax: Many leaders lose their edge during change, not because they made "bad" choices, but because they waited too long to make any choice at all. Indecision is a tax that drains your competitive advantage while others move ahead.

    Inaction is a Decision: When things get volatile, many people freeze and hope for more information. What if there is none? You must realize that standing still is actually a choice. And in a fast-moving world, it is almost always the most expensive risk you can take.

    Move Beyond "Pilot Purgatory": Organizations often get stuck in a loop of small, safe tests. Survival requires the speed to move instantly from a small experiment to a massive rollout before the window of opportunity closes.

    Strategic Humility Over Pride: To move fast, you must trade the pride of "knowing everything" for the speed of learning new things. What worked yesterday is often a heavy anchor that holds you back from tomorrow's solutions.

    Radical Subtraction for Speed: To increase velocity, focus on removing complexity rather than adding more process. Layers of approval and bureaucracy are the primary enemies of speed; you must lean out to accelerate.

    Developing Anticipatory Intelligence: The most valuable commodity in a fast world is time. By seeing trends early, you gain a head start to act with velocity before the rest of the market falls into a panic.

    The Velocity of Reinvention: Your goal isn't to build a fortress that resists change, but a culture that constantly reinvents itself. Resilience is found in the speed of your transformation, not the strength of your defenses.

    Actionable Clarity: Dream, Prove, Win: Innovation follows a simple rhythm: think big enough to dream, start small enough to prove it works, and move fast enough to win. This keeps you moving even when the long-term view is blurry.

    The "OODA Loop" on Steroids: Winners are those who observe and act the fastest. By collapsing the time between a decision and an act, you brute-force your way to the right answer through rapid real-world testing.

    Escape Velocity: To launch a new idea, you must apply overwhelming force to overcome the pull of "how we've always done it." If you don't pick up the pace, the gravity of the past will eventually pull you down.

    Stop waiting for clarity that won't come.

    Get moving.

  18. A quotation from W. H. Auden

    Those who will not reason
    Perish in the act:
    Those who will not act
    Perish for that reason.

    W. H. Auden (1907-1973) Anglo-American poet [Wystan Hugh Auden]
    “Shorts,” No. 7 (c. 1930), Collected Poems, Part 2 “1927-1932” (1976 ed.) [ed. Mendelson]

  19. @craige @dgar @electric_gumball @stormygleason @fc

    Good question. The last #FortnightFridayMusic prompt was #Indecision (23 Jan).

    <strike>Might I suggest the first J word that comes to mind: #juvenile - songs that have to do with youth and/or childishness.</strike>

    @fc says it's #purple so we'll go with that.

  20. A late entry for the #FortnightFridayMusic theme of #Indecision.

  21. Today's #FortnightFridayMusic theme is #Indecision. It took me a while to decide which song to pick (there were lots of good candidates!), but I finally ended up with this soul classic:

    Tyrone Davis: Can I Change My Mind (1968)

    Fiona Apple - On The Bound
    youtube.com/watch?v=7c6OVI7MUvs

    I don't know what I'm doing, don't know, should I change my mind?
    I can't decide, there's too many variations to consider
    No thing I do don't do no thing but bring me more to do
    It's true, I do imbue my blue unto myself, I make it bitter....

    ....Baby, say that it's all gonna be alright
    I believe that it isn't

    You're all I need...
    You're all I need, and maybe some faith would do me good

  23. So, I guess today is a Fortnight Friday Music day. Today I learned about this new (to me) music hashtag.

    The them is "Indecision."

    This week we’re caught in #Indecision

    James Taylor, “Don’t Let Me Be Lonely Tonight” from One Man Dog (1972)

    Lyric:
    Go away then, damn you, go on and do as you please
    You ain't gonna see me gettin' down on my knees
    I'm undecided, and your heart's been divided
    You've been turnin' my world upside down

    ( #MisheardLyrics side note: For years I heard that as “Go away then, Daniel” - and there was this Daniel, see…💔)

    The whole “One Man Dog” album is kind of quirky, with short passages gluing the more conventional songs together, giving it a herky-jerky quality that keeps it from feeling like just another gentle #LaurelCanyon #SingerSongwriter outing.

    Those song fragments don’t stand on their own, so this album is best listened to all the way through, but "Don’t Let Me Be Lonely Tonight" is a beautiful ballad filled with longing, slipping into your ears with Taylor’s smooth voice, complete with sax solo. Cliché? Maybe, but another word for cliché might be “standard,” and songs become standards for a reason - and to me this song is as lovely and timeless as any standard in the so-called Great American Songbook.

  25. Warring musical hastags! Well, #FortnightFridayMusic 's theme is
    #Indecision , and I've always liked this bittersweet song by Death Cab For Cutie, not a band I'm a huge fan of, but they got a couple I don't hate. This is one of them. Crooked Teeth. youtu.be/ar1_tEg4Nxs
