When You Are Tired of Reinventing Yourself

There is always another version of you available for purchase.

More disciplined. More attractive. More productive. More healed. Better organized. Better hydrated. Better at mornings.

Improvement can be satisfying.

But constant self-optimization contains a quiet insult: the present version of you is treated as temporary housing.

Choose a few things worth changing.

Then allow other things simply to be characteristics.

You may never become a person who enjoys networking events. You may always need more time after a crowded week. Your desk may become untidy while you are doing interesting work.

Not every imperfection is a project.

Build a life that fits the person who actually lives in it.

You are not a software release.
