I am blogging everyday (or nearly everyday) on The Daily Stoic.

Friday - Keep It Simple

Keeping it simple is something I struggle with. I tend to overthink work because I want it to be efficient and the right things to work on. That doesn’t always happen when there are other factors outside of my control. It can make work very difficult.

Saturday - You Don’t Have To Stay On Top Of Everything

This is something I’ve worked on at work. It still tends to rear it’s ugly head because of this or that. I’m learning to let go of needing to be on top of everything. The problem comes in when things start impacting me or even worse my team. I then feel obligated that I need to step in because it will be the most efficient route to a solution.

Yesterday - Philosophy As Medicine Of The Soul

This is an interesting one because I’ve used these as a daily reminder of stoicism. I’m not sure that’s enough for me because I’ve had some frustrating months for the last several months. I try to remember the stoic teachings. I often fail at putting them into practice. I lose site of things. I’m going to try and read more to see if that is sufficient in helping me remember certain things. Or at the very least get back to these teachings.

Today - For The Hot-Headed Man

This is something I definitely need to work on at work. I’ve made a lot of practice with controlling my temper. It seems to have boiled up though. It’s not ended well for me and something I need get more control over. I like the idea of remaining calm cool and collected.
