Why Awareness isn't What You Think It Is...

The concept of awareness as a net good has been going around the personal development world for what feels like forever, and I absolutely agree that it's a fantastic thing, but just not as it's actually taught.

Join me for the etymology boogie into what awareness actually means and how you can use it in a way to actually get what you want instead of secretly perpetuating an adversarial relationship with yourself.

A Note On Transcriptions - In the interest of simplicity, I'm using Descript* to make podcast publishing as easy as possible.

Everyone talks about Simplicity as the WAY to do things. If you do less things, you think about less things, and therefore you can use your time more effectively. But doing less things doesn’t always feel like an option, and sometimes it doesn’t need to be an option.

Simplicity isn’t the thing you need to do first, it’s the result of knowing how you work.

You can have multiple projects and still plan other things you’re excited about!!

I help over-thinkers like you actually do shit without making you feel bad about all your projects and ideas.

I run a business, whilst running 6 D&D campaigns, looking after two disabled children (with my partner who works full time), and I’m always wanting to do more.
