A guide to getting off autopilot and being happy in a high anxiety time.
I made a thing, and I want you to download it for free.
Share it.
I don’t want anything in return.
I hope you read it.
I know. Lol. Read. Hah…but seriously.
We live in a time where we have technology that has far outpaced our biological ability to adapt to it both as individuals and as a society.
For every gift that social media and technology like AI brings, there are side affects and anxieties that it breeds as well.
The news is ever-divided and social media would have you believe that everything is terrible as it is designed to feed off of that which agitates you.
It will make you feel like everyone else has it all figured out and you don’t.
It will make you feel hopeless.
And for us creatives and professionals, the advent of AI and the deluge of material created by it that threatens to replace the very things that bring us joy (and income).
As a direct response to all of these things, I leaned hard into the manual process.
I do not want my tools to control me.
I want to control my tools.
In order to do that, I’m opting for doing a lot of things by hand.
Going the long way.
Making it about the work, not the outcome.
The trip, and not the journey.
And so far, it’s helped.
So here you go.
Rather than AI-created hogwash.
Here’s my 100% by-hand hogwash…about 125 pages of it, in fact.
I’m a parent of three kids.
My oldest is special needs.
I’m a veteran with all the issues of being deployed several times.
I’m a former COO who has lived in the grind of manufacturing before switching to marketing.
I’m saying this because I know anxiety. I know uncertainty.
My ideal life would be one where I just write fiction and help people.
This guide is not fiction.
If this guide helps alleviate any anxiety during this weird time we’re all in or helps with any uncertainty you have about yourself, that is more than enough payment for me.
Thanks.
