More Or Less Unblocked Link -

These are elegantly dressed forms of staying blocked. They mistake the absence of friction for the presence of motion. Here’s what the “more or less” state teaches you: you are stronger than your own resistance.

More or less unblocked.

Some of my best writing came from days when I felt “half-blocked.” I couldn’t access the grand vision, so I wrote around it. I wrote sideways. I wrote the boring parts first. And in that detour, I found something I would have missed on the open highway. more or less unblocked

But decks are never fully clear. There is always another email. Another ache. Another doubt. The pursuit of total clearance becomes a procrastination masquerading as preparation. These are elegantly dressed forms of staying blocked

Let me explain. We imagine the unblocked life as a straight highway at 3 AM—no traffic, no construction, no speed limits. Just you and the horizon. I wrote the boring parts first

And yet—here I am. Writing. Sending this out.

But have you ever actually driven that road for more than an hour? It becomes hypnotic. Then boring. Then terrifying. Without resistance, without the small friction of a curve or a slowdown, the mind wanders into dangerous blankness. You stop paying attention. You stop feeling the wheel.
