Unlearn

As I enter a new space, I realize there’s so much to learn. But I’ve been also been thinking about the inverse: what I have to unlearn.

Before, it was curious to me why you would want to go “backward” to discard and forget things. Now, I realize how necessary it is to reassess behaviors and mindsets that aren’t serving us anymore. You can’t add tea to a full cup.

A few questions that I liked from Tim Ferris on this process:

  • What if I did the opposite for 48 hours?

  • What if I could only subtract to solve problems?

  • What would this look like if it were easy?

Perhaps, the old way isn’t the best way. What things are you unlearning?
