Slow and steady

Two MacBooks and an iPad in front of an Apple Store
Took two 2015 MacBooks and an iPad to the Apple Store yesterday to recycle.

Shedding anything, thoughts, ideas, possessions, is a slow and steady process for me.

Why?

Comfort. Doubt. Fear. What if? Etc.

The more i shed, the easier it becomes.

Why?

Because like anything else in life, doing the reps gets you good at the thing you are doing the reps with.

Flashback to Dec 12, 2025’s posts on shedding 101.

Progress from the reps

9-second video: Returning from a six-mile mid-afternoon walk.

Pushing to get highest priority tasks and responsibilities done.

Why?

Context: There was a small pile of 2024 unfinished, important tasks. Higher-than-normal motivation to complete them before 2025 tasks start piling up.

Mental progress

Walt Disney with Mickey Mouse dolls
Amy and Alonzo from Disney University asked if i saw what was unusual about this photo. Have seen this photo hundreds of times and never noticed anything unusual. But as i kept looking, i spotted the second Mickey Mouse from the bottom right. Freaked me out for a few seconds.
18-second video: Grateful for not accidentally stepping on this magnificent creature. Chapin noticed it as we walked.

The longer you shed something, the harder it gets to continue shedding.

Why?

Because the easy-to-shed stuff has been gone for a long time. Plus, with each cycle of shedding, the things you kept are kept because they appear at that moment to be valuable.

So it’s a phenomenon of having fewer things with each perceived to contain high value to you.

Value categories include: memories, future use, future gift, future sale, guilt, etc.

Making reinvigorated mental progress in shedding old, outdated and inefficient ideas and beliefs.

Feels amazing.

Ps. It always does.

Seeing clearly is rare

Three days ago. While waiting for Dr. Shuumski to perform the YAG Laser Procedure in my left eye, i looked around the rather small procedure room. This caught my right eye.

What’s that saying…

We don’t know what we have until it’s gone.

Note: In the procedure room, below the Right-Eye Model (photo above), there’s a plastic, softball-sized model of the photo. You can hold it and examine it three-dimensionally.

After all is said and done, more is said than done.

Don’t tell me what you’re gonna do. Tell me what you’ve done.
