Rhythms over routine.
Jazz over classical.
Flexibility over static.
When we are looking to make a change or instate a habit, I like to call it a rhythm, not a routine.
It gives us more room to adapt and change.
In my day-to-day, I’m looking for more jazz-like improvisation structure rather than the classical-like rigid structure.
What attribute should I develop?
What skill gap should I train?
What box am I not checking off?
Which competency am I low on?
What habit can I form to grow?
All these above questions are not nearly illustrative for the future of work and the future of self development.
It won’t matter that you can check off the boxes or show well rounded nature.
Habits are the development plan of yesterday. (Not that they can’t be a start but they definitely are not enough on their own)
What is the development plan of tomorrow?
It is bound to carry with it vagueness.
The boxes are being blown up. We don’t need more checklists, we need innovation. We need resilience. We need ownership.
I am not searching for the habits to build nor teach but what am I searching for? I’m not sure yet.
