There is Only one Task in Life

Find the structure.

The word “find” means this is something you must discover, inside challenging situations with enough complexity to reveal the emergent arrangement of patterns that work.

It applies to all situations.

Find the structure your mind needs to be at peace.

Find the structure your tasks need to be remembered, communicated, executed.

Structure is truth. Structure is discipline. Structure is utility. Structure is contentment.

But it only works in one direction. Structure is not a blueprint. It must emerge.

Do not borrow. Do not replicate. Find.

Your structures must always be open to update. They don’t have to be right, they have to be tight. Simple, clean, arranged abstractions that are as robust as possible to the vagaries of life.

Meta structures, that continually comment on themselves, and create better abstract arrangements that stand for truth and facilitate your creative force.

There is only one task in life. Only one obligation at any given time.

Find the structure.
