Lean into your source of guilt and shame.
What a way to start this week’s letter to you.
My guilt or shame hovers around music and creative work.
It’s this voice that says “I shouldn’t be doing this right now”.
I am far from being a capitalist, but this is one area where I feel like it’s important to recognize the fucking grind, the god damn meat grinder that we put ourselves through sometimes.
I am worried that if I figured out “the system”, a new one would just come right in and take its place.
So as you can see, I have to give this some space and work on my relationship to the self and where I sit in this universe of constant movement and shifting around.
Ok this is the most exciting thing to share this week. I have a little jam track that you can use to get your day started. The link below has everything you need to get going.
The idea is the night before you set yourself up to jam to this track first thing the following morning.
Sound Checks: Happy Place
I made this backing track for myself to give me something to warm up against. No classical music, no jazz, just something light and easy like a crispy beer on a summer afternoon.
On Difficult Things
The work has to get done sooner or later. The question is how much pain are you willing to inflict on yourself using avoidance, denial or distraction? Take a moment on that one…
3-in-1 Dustbuster: It’s a Hit
By the image, this product looks like a futuristic penis enlarger.
But when I started using it, I realized that it’s a miniature knock-off of the Dyson 😄.
I ordered a generic chi-fi dustbuster for my parents about two years ago and it has held up with positive reviews. But this thing is not only way more powerful, it can shoot compressed air for dust removal and balloon inflation (but not bike tires from what i can tell so far).
That’s what the other two uses are in the 3-in-1 description: Suck, Shoot and Blow
There is a carrying case, and it even has a little carpet attachment. USB-C means it can plug into your car, but I would only do that while it’s running.

Alright best of luck out there this week…
Microdose on taking in the news, but macrodose on the work that matters.
