Day 7: Why can't I just make a to do list?

So, I've embraced a season of big life transitions.
I've gotten bold enough to step up and explore a new life and a new call in this season.

So... now what?

Tackling life is usually a matter of execution.
Figuring out the things that need to get done and doing them.
I'm good at that.

But this... this is different.

I was having a conversation today about "deep work."

Deep work is the work we do way down in.
The type that can't be measured in to do items or checkboxes or calendars.
Deepwork is the taking in of new ideas and processing them and churning and churning until eventually something is born.

Art. Work. Vocation.

We all have our deep work but life does little to create space for or honor this important work. We don't usually have anything really to show for it. And so, it feels unproductive.

I really hate being unproductive.

So, this is Lent. Me doing deep work. I have nothing to show for it.
