The MAAP.  Attitude and its Architecture, making a project of it, for ME.

Thinking this morning about the week ahead, and how I’m frustrated with SELF and some of my consistencies.  Watching a blogger I follow and his new running project turns me into a drawing board of my own.

9:20 AM.  Stop thinking, I tell myself.  Then I tell myself to stop telling myself anything and just act.  Produce.  The light downstairs, taking a quick picture of it.  Not sure why.  To capture that instant, the me getting ready for the day and pausing for no particular reason.

I’m learning about ME… this Mike Madigan still going through the process of divorce, and not by my fucking choice, if I can be utterly candid and sharp in this morning’s inner mediation and meditation.

Why do we overthink and self-doubt, and question and wonder like “Oh shit, SHOULD I do that..?”

Drives me crazy and honestly the older I get I’m like a mean lecturer at myself wondering “Seriously Mike, why the fuck do you let yourself go there?”

This week, the Curriculum revolves around no thinking, just doing.  No censorship or checking or double-checking, or pausing, wondering… just ACT.

Write it, post it… be BOLD as they so vocally urge and suggest, cement and lament at the Company.

So here I am… going into the week.  Like I’m my own Chat GPT.  No need for assistance or some starter sentence.

Finishing all Curriculum assignments at work.  Keeping them simple, like one-sheets or quick handouts… not belaboring.

Why do WE create work for ourselves?

Why do WE spend more fucking time thinking than threading?

Attracted to poison over possibility.  Nope, not anymore.

Too often WE draft, we over-draft, we scribble until the idea collapses under its own weight. Enough.
