- finding these inspirational, re writing process / Tech for removing friction for writing
- call with Andrew Schreiber re his FocusBase app
- M > two ways of holding
- counteractive - whether logging or not, ignoring original intention etc
- transformational - hold resistance and original intention, do what makes sense
- A > I've been thinking of it more as like, a sales process
- and so a flinch is like sticker shock, or doubt that it's worth it
- logging, then...
- what motivates you to push through, or reduces the sticker shock
- M > potential of A bringing his React experience to overhauling the Complice coworking rooms
- A > maybe start with some pair programming, to get started
- you do a screenshare, we explore getting react integrated
- A > also I just started this YC Build Sprint thing
- goal of it is to hit some major milestone by March 14
- so for the next month I'm crazy busy
- but I'd love to work on this with you
- A > I work with this guy, who basically all that he does is pair-programming front-end web stuff (incl React)
- and he charges $40/h for pair-programming, and $100 if you want him to just code stuff for you
- M > I really want to influence you towards grokking the coherence therapy stuff more
- because I think that's how you get ahead of the curve on the kinds of apps people are going to want
- A > for me, if I've gotten distracted, it's pretty scary to consider looking at why
- like there's a lot of avoidant stuff there
- so thinking like
- instead of open-endedly asking how people are doing
- M > also check out Michael Ashcroft's Alexander Technique content
- A > aiming more for swing-for-the-fence venture-backed
- I want to solve the shit out of this problem
- mmm feels fun to be typing here with incline towards in my Intend UI
- like why hasn't he gone all the way?
- various hypotheses for this:
- he doesn't believe it's possible, somehow?
- like his implicit model of how how far you can go doesn't include that
- he thinks it would be bad
- eg that it's important to retain some amount of triggerableness to be more able to relate with his patients/clients/etc
- panic is probably for infants and IFS doesn't go back far enough
- this is where something like Ideal Parent Figure Protocol would be necessary
- or something else to get at ~18 month old attachment stuff
- this is probably my main hypothesis for what's going on
- which is fascinating when I consider I literally wouldn't have had this hypothesis a month ago - what else am I missing?
- was really helpful to hear Tim go through a whole IFS arc
- no individual pieces there were new, really, though some I'd forgotten about
- I don't think I've ever gotten through a full session
- #TwitterDayOff is feeling quite liberating. more space to ask what I really want to do
