꩜ Spiral learning

Any important area of life has many (perhaps, unlimited) layers of understanding and application. This is certainly true with Joyful Productivity. Each time you return to one of the lessons, consider these 4 steps: Choose one concept, tool, or exercise from the Lesson that you're most interested to apply right now. All other ideas, put on the "back burner" for future consideration. It'll always be available to you to revisit. Choosing to apply one idea at a time will make your real-life learning more sustainable. Experiment as you apply it into your life or business. This means you're open to making "mistakes" as you try implementing the idea. Reflect on your real-life learning and implementation: add a comment underneath that particular lesson. Share your experience with the class. Ask any questions. Netcare by reading a few other comments and replying underneath them. Perhaps even reach out privately to someone to appreciate their reflection. By using these 4 steps again and again, you will spiral deeper (or higher) into your skillfulness with Joyful Productivity 👏🏽

@Helen Giles I so resonate with your message. Before finding this community, it seemed I was like a deer in headlights always trying to figure which way to go or who to listen to.  Now, I have curiosity, and a peaceful approach.  Treating mis-takes as lessons and not a way to beat myself up.

@Liz Underhill I love this Liz, and definitely resonate in my own self. "A peaceful approach" feels so much better and, honestly, eye-opening. Former me didn't even know that was an option.

For my own self, experimentation has been so much FUN. That was unexpected. I used to have an inner authoritarian that would push me to do all the things and beat up on me, constantly saying I wasn't doing enough or what I was doing wasn't good. As I've sat with the part of me that hated me and the fear and pain underneath the self-abuse, I've been able to come at taking action from a whole new perspective. Action is so much lighter and freer now. There's so much more curiosity and experimentation and play. Like putting together a puzzle that never actually ends. When I play and try things out and learn "ooo I don't like that" or "oh yes, that felt great" it's so joyous. Who knew schedule experimenting, productivity, and building habits could be so THRILLING?!?!?!
