Quality of thought is a matter of input vs. output

atomic

I was once told that I have high quality thoughts 1.

It’s not an innate talent. I did have quite a wide imagination as a child, and I still do, but I don’t attribute this person’s observations to my rich inner world.

It’s about intention.

I am intentional about the inputs and outputs of my life.

The inputs include:

  • Movies I watch
  • Books I read
  • Podcasts I listen to
  • Lectures I hear, etc.

The outputs include:

  • Podcasts I create
  • Blog posts
  • These notes
  • Conversations
  • Lesson Plans
  • Coaching resources
  • etc.

The in-between step is creating structures to think about the inputs (like creativity as gardening), and templates to create the outputs.
