Hello there. We meet again for this week's edition of 2x2. As always, I've got a couple of resources, tools, diversions, books, tools, toys, or other types of recommendations for you to check out; and then, secondly, are a couple of ideas, stories, or tips from me. Check this out
1: [Great Fellow Kettle](
This collab between Stagg and Great Fellow for a limited edition EKG kettle is super cool. I have Fellow's standard-issue, matte black version of the EKG and it's fantastic. But I love the look of this limited edition one. ([via T&T]() 2: [Why Pieter Levels is unreachable and maybe you should be too](
Not because he's busy, but because he's [intentional](. Something to think about
1: Focus Requires Tradeoffs
Last week when I wrote about how you can only juggle 3 bowling balls at a time (if you're the world record holder), it reminded me of [this quote from James Clear](: "Highly focused people do not leave their options open. They make choices. If you commit to nothing, youâll be distracted by everything." 2: The Two Types of Focus
There are two primary expressions of focus in our life. One as a noun and the other as a verb. - There is the attainment of focus in the form of a clear vision and priorities.
- There is the skill of focus in the form of our ability to direct our attention on to that which matters. The former, big-picture, high-level clarity comes when we know who we are and what we value. There is also the daily skill of being able to focus on the task at hand and give our attention to that which is happening in the moment for us. From dinner with friends, a conversation with a loved one, an evening reading a book, or a morning spent doing research for our job. The power of living a focused life is when the two expressions of focus merge: when you have clarity about what it is that is deeply important and you are able to consistently spend your time each day on those things. * * *
