Hey,

Welcome to the Life Notes Newsletter - a newsletter filled with actionable notes on life.

Here's...

🍃 Something to think on in your week:

• What state do you need to be in? How can you create that state?

✨ Two quotes to support your thinking:

• “Things are not difficult to make; what is difficult is putting ourselves in the state of mind to make them.” — Constantin Brancusi
• "Sometimes, something simply needs to get done now. In these cases, you can ask yourself, What mood would be most conducive to doing this work? Then, ask yourself, When was the last time I felt that way? Finally, see if you can replicate the conditions that put you in that mood." (David Kadavy, Mind Management, Not Time Management)

💃 Action steps to consider:

• Write a list of all of the “states” that you need to enter regularly in your work / personal life. (For example: Creative, Analytical, Thoughtful, Open-minded, Relaxed).
• Write a list of deliberate actions that you can take to bring about those states of mind. You may want to think back to times in the past when you’ve embraced each state. You might often feel inspired after being in open nature spaces. You might feel most creatively energised after catching up with friends. You could tend to feel most thoughtful after you’ve been reading a certain type of book. Learn to bring about the states of mind that best support the activities that you’re doing.

Appreciate you,

Michelle
