@sonsofthethreshold: if perfectionism has made your hobbies feel like another job, this is for you. the sketchbook you’re saving for when you’re better at drawing. the guitar you used to play before you started apologising for it. the walk that now requires a watch and evidence. sometimes what you miss is an afternoon without a standard to meet. in the zhuangzi, an old daoist text, a carpenter dismisses a tree as useless. the tree has a rather different opinion. its story gives us a way to think about creativity, slow living and the things we stopped enjoying when every interest started needing a result. finding your way back to an old hobby doesn’t have to mean getting good, making money or becoming a more interesting person. you can make a drawing nobody needs to see. you can enjoy something without turning it into another improvement project. the questions on the last slide are worth keeping for a free afternoon. what’s the hobby you still think about going back to? #hobbies #perfectionism #creativity #slowliving #philosophy
