43. Build and lose
Denya Lesnoy built a little house in the taiga for a long time. Put a lot of effort into it. A hot summer, fires, the house burned down.

The tasks were:
Finish building the bathhouse - NOT done
I didn't put the final point, but I already steamed about twenty times. After I laid the floor and it became possible to steam normally, the motivation disappeared. Besides the bathhouse, I built a fence from the new neighbor - it added a lot of comfort to bath procedures and is generally good.
Man's main enemy is his egoism.
How do you check whether you consider egoism your first sin?
Think about the phrase "a person sheds any tears only about himself". Do you agree with this unconditional truth or not? If not, then you haven't yet been born into adulthood. Egoism is still rocking you, hiding, encrypting itself, substituting itself for you. It says that it doesn't exist, that only you exist. What egoism? I'm like everyone else. No worse than many. There! Caught you, dear.
So, meet - the Ego. Egoism. Self-love. Personality.
To distract yourself from problems, fatigue and fears you need to get to the ISS and look at the Earth from there. There it is, our dear. It spins. Light and sunny. Lots of clouds and blue water. And your shadow runs fast-fast across the continents. Strange people.

Labor is simply Action. Not fussy idleness, but action. Movement caused by an act of will.
And the whole religion of Labor can be reduced to one word "Act!"
Planning, budgeting, tracking, highlighting the main thing - that is secondary, at the core lies action.
Any action: spontaneous, instantaneous, in sorrow, in triumph, in dullness, in fear - any, but only Action.
Many small adjusting actions, one big one, advancing, retreating, correcting. Any Action.
A long time ago, relaxing in nature, "forever young, forever drunk", I spotted an old man herding goats in the nearest field.
The old man is great: with a big gray beard, clean, respectable. I was irresistibly drawn to talk to him. I gathered my courage and with the mental phrase "whatever will be, will be" moved in his direction. I struck up a conversation.
Surprisingly easily, mom handed dad 15 thousand rubles for the purchase of the first computer, the "BK0010-01". For our family and for 1991 that was serious money.
There was no doubt, no resistance, not even a discussion. Dad asked, they took the money, went and bought it. All in one day. Like in a dream. Incredible. As if someone had hypnotized the parents.
Or maybe I don't get something about their makeup?
Using LaborGit inside companies can only be welcomed, provided the 4th principle of the Manifesto (http://laborgit.ru/ru/about) is not violated - "4. Freedom. A person is free to decide the degree of publicity of their Labor".
Nina Berberova in her autobiography brilliantly described how she chose her profession and what it means to have YOUR OWN CRAFT. I don't want to retell it - just read the original at this link - https://mir-knig.com/read_187744-4#.
Berberova made her painfully conscious choice at the age of 10, while my similar consciousness woke up at 39, during yet another reorganization at my current workplace.
I love traveling through Google Maps. It breaks the boundaries of consciousness. Refreshing.
Today I grabbed myself by the scruff of the neck and threw myself into the Greek city of Patras.
You walk the streets, noticing details: manhole covers, mailboxes, some graffiti here, signs in Greek, no English at all, windows with curtains and lots of Greek flags. What does it tell you?
