Hi!

Newsletter #2 comin' atcha!

✏️ Latest post from Jeremy

What do habits have to do with social change work?

Habits and the broader category of “time management” aren’t about being more productive. They’re about one of the most important questions we can be asking ourselves right now, as the world is in great crisis and transformation: 🕑 How am I spending my time? ...

☀️ Quotes/Inspiration

Two quotes from Atomic Habits by James Clear:

  • "You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems."
  • "Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become."

And one quote from Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver Burkeman:

  • "Embracing your limits means giving up hope that with the right techniques, and a bit more effort, you’d be able to meet other people’s limitless demands, realize your every ambition, excel in every role, or give every good cause or humanitarian crisis the attention it seems like it deserves. It means giving up hope of ever feeling totally in control, or certain that acutely painful experiences aren’t coming your way. And it means giving up, as far as possible, the master hope that lurks beneath all this, the hope that somehow this isn’t really it—that this is just a dress rehearsal, and that one day you’ll feel truly confident that you have what it takes."

📕 What I’ve been reading/listening to

  • 📕 My Grandmother's Hands by Resmaa Menakem - I've been in a practice group with a couple close friends for the last few months working our way slowly through the somatic practices in this book. Most of you have probably already encountered this book. But if you haven't, it's full of really powerful methods to examine how racism shows up in our bodies rather than just in our minds.

Fun: 🤖 Curious what your thoughts are on AI. I've been playing with ChatGPT a lot this week and have been feeling pretty 🤯 so far about it.

Big hugs,
Jeremy

PS - Know anyone who is looking to have better life systems and improve their nourishing habits? My habits coaching group for changemakers starts April 5. I'd be grateful if you passed it on to changemakers who might wanna check it out.
