## What Jamie wrote

A good system isn't measured by how much you get done.

> What would happen if we decided not to play that game? If we could set aside for a moment the fears that drive us, the hope that we’ll ever finish everything, the hope that we’ll somehow get a feeling of being good enough if we are good at getting things done?

It is measured by the calmness you can experience when you have confidence about what is out there. Then you can explore.
