  • #72- From Sourcebook to Daily Journaling
    Laurie & Matt use this episode to explain how they followed up the writing of their Sourcebook (which continues to be grown) with a daily journaling practice that puts the ideas crafted and stored there into practice.
    Developing a routine that finds middle ground between the sometimes anxiety producing blank page and the overly restrictive fill-in-the-blank journals du jour, their practice is structured but flexible. It's a process that grows self-awareness through daily reflection, reminds us to live our virtues everyday, challenges us to grow the positive and remove the negative, and still leaves room for the daily tasks of life.

  • #71- Writing Your Manual in Pursuit of a Good Life
    For the last 10 weeks, Laurie & Matt have been sharing the lists they've curated in their Sourcebook, a journal of ideas, concepts, and information that defines who they are and what their life stands for. We each have a Sourcebook, and you either write and live your own, or allow it to be written for you.
    This week they do a recap of the entire process, briefly going over each list and how to set up your own Sourcebook, emphasizing the value of this process in not only taking ownership of the direction your life is going, but as a necessary component in the pursuit of a Good Life.
