I used to call it the coffee pot principle:
Anything in life is going to require a container to hold it.
But others have said the same thing by emphasizing the importance of systems.
In the coffeepot analogy, systems would refer to the importance of processes like cleaning and maintaining the pot, the equipment and the workspace, and repurposing your waste.
And although I like the simplicity of the coffee pot analogy, (bring a big pot if you want big things) it are in fact always the processes (and rarely the hardware) that kills your buzz, your business, your friendships and your dreams.
Even if you would have all the skills to run your coffee pot like a champ, your time is still limited, on a good day.
And plummeting to zero the moment Life happens!
Even if you have a completely regulated life, we still share that experience of suddenly, or chronically, having something else demanding our attention.
One by one our systems collapse, and chaos takes over.
The first 2 weeks of this year, my life was taken over trying to tackle mice.
They had entered in December, but it was the loose holiday schedule from our waste collection service, and a stone marten that left, that was quickly turning them from winter guests into permanent residents.
And they were using my kitchen.
Yet aside from a few cracks, which were sealed, there was nothing wrong with my “coffeepot”, the house.
What had failed was my process of maintaining it.
Which is now so strict we can setup open heart surgery in my kitchen.
What we have built requires our constant attention or it returns to its native state of chaos. The 3D world in particular, is extremely fragile.
It requires us, you, to be in it.

about this series
That ONE Book is the book I always think I own, until I realize it has not been written yet. So in December 2025 I started writing it myself.
I’m going for writing 365 chapters over the course of 9 years, and then bring it to print.
