 When shopping for groceries, I need a system, simple or complex. I need to pick the day when I'm gonna do it, most likely a time frame also if I'm going to drive or walk and if I pick either one, I will have to pay attention to what am I going to buy based on the volume I can carry. And if I say it like this, you might say that is quite a lot. People simply don't think about this, they just do it, it has become a default. You don't need to create a mental map of what needs to be done, as you've probably done it a dozen times already. But how often do you make mistakes when running on this autopilot mode? You know what type of cheese you like, what type of wine. You storm through the marketplace eliminating what is mindful and focusing on getting things done. But you're also letting small errors accumulate. And in this case the errors consist in you not allowing yourself room to explore additional offerings that might improve your life. And there's this idea of nature of disaster in complex systems. Essentially letting small errors accumulate comes in hand in hand with failing to set rules in place to update your systems. Your thinking becomes reactive instead of active. You blink before you think. You buy the same products, the same brands, you follow the same path when walking to the store and even inside the store. You then become part of a stream of defaults and you drift away into this disastrous trap of ignorance. The task at hand became so trivial and you don't think about how you can improve it anymore. You prevent yourself from stumbling upon unplanned fortunate discoveries. You're technically not planning but you're allowing intuition to play its role, which is great. But even your intuition engine can often run on its default settings. Default preferences that plan and pick for you instead. And you might be the type of person who doesn't care about the most mindful and high utility shopping experience, which I understand. It is totally reasonable and you are not looking to scratch that edge. But consider taking this trivial shopping experience example and apply it to something else instead. What else are you doing that you're not updating? What errors are you letting in? Deciding not to keep your cables under control might lead you to frustration when trying to find that specific USB. Frustration that can lead you to screwing something else up during your day. Not spending time to build a simple system to track your expenses might lead you into bankruptcy. If you do care about updating other systems in your life, systems that might not seem that complex at first, you might want to think about the tiny beaten pieces of errors that you think don't bother you that much when, say, storming through the day. But if those continue to accumulate, it can eventually lead you to something inconvenient. If you think about senior citizens like your grandparents or parents who are not that well versed in using technology, that might be because at some point when mobile phones got into the mainstream, say, 10 or 15 years ago, they kind of verbally decided that they are not a tech person and don't want to use such advice. And that decision, that default they set for themselves at that particular point in time, led them to being somehow behind now, with updates slowly and gradually accumulating in the background. And they are now kind of feeling overwhelmed and unwilling to update their systems as there is quite a lot to process. They kind of have layers and layers of updates they need to perform. We have solutions to problems people have, but the same people are not aware of these solutions as they haven't kept themselves up to date in small increments. They haven't built systems to allow themselves to be open to exploration. And I do understand that you are throwing that specific brand of cheese in your cart not necessarily because you're a big fan, but mostly because you know what to expect. And I'm not only talking about the possibility of you finding that new specific type of cheese that would possibly improve your life, but about being able and open to explore new ways to perform an actual activity. Ways that could be more enjoyable in the end. Because if I'm satisfied with how my decision worked out last time, I'm most likely going to follow the same pattern, the same path the next time I'm going to have to make a similar decision. I'm not going to update it and that can turn into a problem in the long run. And we are not updating these decisions either because we are lazy and don't want to learn something new, or we simply think that it is not our area of expertise and we are satisfied with the good enough. But what happens when the good enough becomes obsolete? What happens if you cannot use a DVD because technology has evolved to remove the slots? And yes, mundane ordinary tasks one needs to perform every day are most of the time neglected and fall prey to the unconscious decisions we've already taken and established for ourselves a long time ago. And I think that spending some time to create, update or maintain your current systems that will eventually allow you more room to explore can be a good experiment you can try. But to do that you need to have some structure in place. The entropy surrounding you slows down as a result of the work done by natural selection. Leaving systems are more organized, so look around you and allow your specific brand of natural selection to get rid of what slows you down. What would you like to change? What would you like to do and what stops you from doing it? Is there something you would like to start doing? A new hobby? Do you have systems in place that will allow you to start and explore a new hobby so that even if you fail and don't like it, other things surrounding you won't be left behind. And the last thing I want to say is that maybe you want to start identifying your blind spots and put systems in place that will allow you to go with the flow when needed.
