LET IT OUT14 Jan 2022

Richness in Ruts & Paradox of Choice with Madeleine Dore, Author of "I Didn't Do The Thing Today" 🌞

Today’s guest is Madeleine Dore, a Melbourne-based writer and interviewer exploring how we can broaden the definition of a day well spent. For the past five years, Madeleine has been asking people about how they navigate their day on her popular site Extraordinary Routines and podcast Routines & Ruts. Most recently, she’s written a book called I Didn’t Do The Thing Today, out this week. I flew through an early copy and bring up some of my favorite insights from the book in this conversation. We also talk about finding richness in ruts, the paradox of choice and “infinite browsing mode", leaving space for surprise in our days, two kinds of perfectionism, the difference between standards and expectations, cringing at old work, and more. I loved speaking with her and I’m excited to hear your thoughts on finding richness in routines.
