So, if you want something big and fuzzy in your life, but getting there feels like being lost in a pristine jungle with only the sun and stars for guidance, this is my modest contribution: never slide out of the day. The act of thinking earnestly about my life and my future, which used to make me feel queasy every day, instead makes me feel very good during my retro trips. By making retro trips a routine exercise, I unwittingly freed myself from having to think about those scary goal hierarchies all the time. My Obsidian vault has a motto in a big font on its landing page: Never Slide Out of the Day. If there is a need to course-correct, if I'm doing something wrong or wasteful or misguided, I will eventually find out during my next retrospective trip.
