Old Fashioned On Purpose

S18: E10: Competence, Not Cosplay: How to Keep What Works, Drop the Rest


Listen Later

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about what old-fashioned living might look like for me in the coming year and beyond. I’ve been considering which skills and rhythms I want to embrace, and which ones I need to release.

In this podcast episode, I’m sharing that thought process with you. My hope is that it helps you take stock of your own life and figure out which parts of the old-fashioned lifestyle you truly love, and which parts you may be holding onto simply because you think you should.

Podcast Episode Highlights:

  • Current homesteading issues & how it affects us
  • Why 'all or nothing' is ridiculous
  • Tool vs. cage
  • Figuring out what drives you
  • Filter #1: does this skill give me agency?
  • Filter #2: does this skill give me peace or cost me peace?
  • Filter #3: is this a keystone skill?
  • Filter #4: what season am I in?
  • Filter #5: is this thing rooted in fear or love?
  • Motive #1: does this skill bring me joy?
  • Motive #2: does this feel obligatory?
  • Motive #3: are you doing this out of comparison?
  • The three buckets for figuring things out
  • Final thoughts
