Hi everyone, I wanted to let you know that I’ll be closing this Skool community and moving everything over to Substack, where I’ll be posting content and discussions going forward. Substack is easier for me to manage right now, and I genuinely feel it offers more value for sharing research, writing, and ideas in one place. This move will help me stay consistent and go deeper with the work. You can find me, and the community, here: https://noteswnat.substack.com I’ll also be opening up Substack’s chat feature soon, so we’ll still be able to talk and discuss things together there. Thank you so much for being part of this space. I really appreciate you all and hope to see you on Substack. 📝 — Nat

Feynman believed attention was the root of understanding — Rubin says it’s the root of creation. How often do we truly notice what’s around us anymore?

^^ Came across this quote today by Herbert A. Simon. Where do you think most of your attention gets spent? And is the return worth it? Personally I love how we have access to so much information, but it can be hard to focus on one thing without getting distracted. Sometimes it feels like we’re drowning in ideas, planning, organizing, learning, but never actually doing. That’s the trap of shallow work. Thoughts??

What’s something small you’ve noticed recently that most people would overlook?? Do you think curiosity is something we’re born with, or something we can train back into our lives? Based on “The Creative Act: A Way of Being” by Rick Rubin — Everyone is a creator, the act of creation beings with noticing.
