One of the things I try to show my students is that historical grounding does not exclude being contemporary. The future is not the opposite of the past.

I’ve learned that letting go is an active, continuous process. The default assumption is that we want to be interrupted: notifications are enabled, ringers aren’t silenced, and reminders are set. To get rid of that stuff, you have to take a stand. —

Commit iPhone app, by Legend.

Very simple concept, and simple execution: setup something you want to improve by doing it daily, and confirm you’ve done it each day. Over time you build a chain of reinforcement.
