To non-action

Yesterday I had one interesting idea how to achieve non-action .

As you know, non-doing is when everything happens as it should, and you do nothing at the same time.

In the Chinese tradition, it is believed that the wisest king is not the one who fusses and tries to control everything personally, but the one who has so tuned everything that the state machine works fine without him, but he himself, meanwhile, is in non-action .

This is what the Tao Te Ching (§ 37) says about the inaction of Lao Tzu:

Tao constantly performs non-action, but there is nothing
such that whatever it does. If you know, and sovereigns will
to observe it, all beings will change by themselves.

The non-action formula is successfully confirmed by modern management, which recommends delegating various non-core activities, especially turnover, as much as possible, so that there is time for strategic affairs.

So the insight was this: if you want to achieve non-doing, then

Complete more tasks than start!

So how to deal with new projects? Is it really a 100% harmful thing?
Fortunately, there is a way to make this craving work!

I like to start a lot of new projects. And now, as always, I want to start another one. This time I use the craving for a new project as a motivation to complete 3 old projects. I decided that I would start a new project only when I completed 3 old ones.

  Excellent free video, which explains why and how bad unfinished business. I will give just one of the ideas of this remarkable video: unfinished business takes place in the brain and forms complexes. I recommend everyone to watch. Download: part 1 , part 2 .
  Recently I watched Yuri Moroz ’s excellent disc “Thinking” . There I was touched by one strong thought, namely: " The project must be one! ". Indeed, the fascination with several projects sprays forces and repeatedly reduces the result. The result is a complete project. Each open new project hinders the completion of the old, and, accordingly, prevents the achievement of real results.
