I really like "bending the line back into circles," or at least an ellipse? My biggest struggle though has always been planning long-term. I think I have an inherent, very profound belief that I'm not in control of anything in life so therefore I should not even attempt to think about a point of time in the future. The monthly and yearly section of my planners are usually unused, while I passionately scribble notes and tasks and to-do's in the "weekly."
I'd love to hear any tips you have for the shift of perception or habits required for this!!
Also thank you so much for mentioning my essay, I'm really happy that it could spark thoughts!!
Thank you for your comment. When you are young, work and commitments create those loops automatically. Only after one retires, when one suddenly faces a straight line ahead, then one needs to try and bend the line and define new loops. I really do not have any tips other than saying "Be brave enough to have ambitious goals but also be prepared to call it quits when some do not work". Other than that, you have try and see.
