Kourish Dini says that, “Mastery and meaningful work develop from guided play.” This is pretty well the direction behind my personal knowledge mastery framework and the notion of ‘half-baked ideas‘.
“There is an error in our focus on productivity. I may even be labeled as a productivity talking-head. I’ve more than likely made the error myself.
The error is that the focus should not be on productivity so much as it is on mastery.
Mastery is a process, a development over time for something you care about. That could be your family or that could be a craft.
This way, you choose the thing or things you are mastering and the remainder of your world is around supporting those. You don’t need to master everything, so much as take them to a point of being strong enough to support what you find meaningful.
Secondly, I strongly believe that mastery absolutely requires play.” —Being Productive 2022-12-05
