Relinquishing (some) control

My obsession with being “in control” of as much as possible is waning.

I don’t want to manage everything. I don’t feel like worrying about it. So far this is more a feeling than anything, but it’s a pretty strong feeling.

A couple of examples:

  • I’m typing this in WordPress. Letting WordPress deal with images, content, stats, etc. is something I am in the mood for. SSGs are great, and probably the right answer, but hooboy I get tired of thinking about all of it
  • I’m typing this on my Mac Mini, not Linux. Apple may have gotten wildly off-course lately, but even off-course, most things are nicer, and easier than with Linux. And, if I just let go of my desire for complete control, I can just use my computer and not deal with the underlying idea that “it’s all mine, but I’m also responsible for everything.”

So that’s my mood today. Stay tuned to find out where else this feeling leads me.
