Do it once with no camera and see if you still want to. That’s how you learn which goals are actually yours.

STILLNESS

WHAT THIS MEANS

Removing the audience separates a thing from the picture of the thing. A goal that only works when it is documented is partly a goal about being seen doing it, which is human and worth knowing, because those are the ones that collapse on days when nobody is watching. Doing it once privately is a cheap test. If it is still good with no record, it belongs to you.

Pick something you have been meaning to start and do the first session with your phone left behind. Tell nobody beforehand and nobody afterwards. Then check whether you want to go again, because that answer beats any amount of planning.

A QUESTION TO SIT WITH

Would you still chase that goal with nobody filming it?
