In this episode of our series on crafting a Stoic daily routine, we focus on how to build effective work rituals. These rituals are designed to help you find deeper meaning and purpose in whatever form of work you do—whether it’s a formal job, creative endeavor, or a personal project like martial arts. Here are the key highlights from the episode:
Episode Notes:
1. Broadening the Definition of Work

  • Work doesn’t have to be limited to a traditional career. We explore how to recognize anything you spend time on and take seriously as your “work”—whether it's drawing, studying martial arts, or any passion project.

2. Pre-Work Ritual: Six Key Points

  • Inspired by John Yates' "The Mind Illuminated," we dive into a six-step preparation ritual that helps set the stage for a successful work session.
  • Key elements include defining your motivation, setting specific goals, acknowledging expectations, committing to diligence, addressing potential distractions, and preparing your work environment.

3. Finding Enjoyment in Your Work

  • We discuss the importance of enjoying the process rather than seeing work as a box to tick off your list. Finding ways to enjoy your work not only makes it more sustainable but also enriches the entire experience.

4. The Power of a Performance Statement

  • Develop a performance statement as an affirmation to keep you on track. For example: “Every time I get distracted, I will make a note of the distraction and return to the task.” This simple tool helps reinforce positive behavior and mindfulness during work.

5. Work as Meditation

  • Applying a meditative mindset to work helps you stay present and focused. Just like mindfulness meditation, when you lose focus, gently redirecting yourself back to the task at hand can transform your productivity and mindset.

6. Post-Work Reflection

  • Reflecting on what went well after each work session is crucial. Focus on three positive outcomes to reinforce growth and keep yourself motivated.

7. Working with Others: The EAR Acronym

  • Good communication during collaboration can be broken down into Empathy, Assertiveness, and Respect (EAR). This simple framework helps improve how you navigate work relationships and difficult dynamics.

8. Premeditation of Adversity

  • Inspired by Marcus Aurelius, we explore the Stoic practice of **premeditating potential obstacles** to remain calm and composed during challenging moments at work. It’s not about being negative but about being prepared
