On Possibilities

"So one thing I sometimes do, rather than making a to-do list, is I make a list of things that are possible. And this can be anything from a practical thing of go for a walk to wildly impractical, buy a train ticket, buy a plane ticket, fly somewhere remote. And The Story Spine is actually a great way to combine these two things. So the reason why I make a Possible List is that it's very easy to forget both in a rather mundane way what's possible with all the choices that we have available to us, even though sometimes it might not feel like we have choices. And then also those wild things that we might not ever get, but kind of help that aspirational heart or that possible heart stay alive...So making that list of possibility is a way to keep that spirit alive and then coupling that with The Story Spine. So you take something from your possible list and then you go through once upon a time and every day, but one day. And because of that, and because of that, and because of that, until finally and ever since then, and you can write a little story about what would happen if this possibility became an actuality."

On 11 Minutes to Mars



"It's amazing how much and how little can be accomplished in just 11 minutes. But one of more interesting things that I've accomplished in 11 minutes is I've made an entire painting of an owl. So I did about a three foot, actually, yeah, about a two foot by three foot painting of an owl. I was on an owl kick for a while. I have sent emails that I have been putting off, sending for years, and finally just decided that this is the time that I'm going to do it. I have worked on writing chapters of a book that I'm working on. I've just decided that I want to send nice messages to a few friends and just say, Hey, I'm super happy that you're in my life. I appreciate you. I have also done absolutely nothing where I've taken 11 minutes and just decided that I'm not doing anything. And it's wonderful - and it's horrible. And it's also, I found when I have a list that feels overwhelming in the things that I need to do, that taking that 11 minutes just to pause and just to say, I can stop this. Maybe not forever because that's not practical, but I can just take a pause and I cannot fill it with action.
