Join 📚 Josh Beckman's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Josh's read, .
If, as on most days, no such event is obvious, I just dedicate the day (daydicate) anyway, with a name or motto, basically a headline to this one day's task list. I always have a to-do list for each day. This adds a fitting headline to the list, and is an excellent frame in which I promote or expand tasks that fit the theme of the day, and reduce or postpone ones that don't. "Recovery Day", "Day of Updates", "Orderly Thursday" - whatever seems suitable as an emotional and behavioral carrier wave for just that one day in particular.

The ultimate goal of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is to help us move closer to what we care about in life.
From an ACT perspective, the main thing that gets in the way of this is when our behavior becomes primarily about avoidance. When we’re focused on avoiding difficult thoughts and feelings, we’re not focused on moving toward what we care about.

For me, ICEWATCH is a deeply spiritual practice: I want to build reverence and fear for the power of the Lake, understand its changes more intimately, and pay my respects to the entity that gives life to all of Chicago. ICEWATCH is an attempt to grow closer to the Lake’s cycles.
