Favorited “In so many ways a friend with a boat is better than owning a boat.” by Peter Rukavina

I’ve been thinking about what to keep, what to revert back to ‘normal’ (for whatever value for normal we end up with whenever ‘after the pandemic’ begins). This one posted by my friend Peter, about keeping things more calm sounds like one for the list. On the keep side.

Kevin Kelly: When you get an invitation to do something in the future, ask yourself: would you accept this if it was scheduled for tomorrow? Not too many promises will pass that immediacy filter.

Peter: That last one is particularly useful as we “ease back” to some semblance of a normal life: having experienced The Great Silence, I am hoping to be much more selective in what noise I take on.
