Religio is the term I use for “one’s personal religion,” borrowing the Latin word from the 1643 “Religio Medici”… everyone has some core orientation to the universe and their place in it. But I typically write it as “Philosophy” for lay audiences that don’t want new technical terms. I’ll use philosophy and religio largely interchangably — it’s slightly less technically correct, but easier to understand what it means quickly.
I find it powerful just to be aware of what things I do and don’t have operations in place for. I’ve got solid operations to make sure my school work gets done during the hours I want it to get done. I’ve got okay ish operations to ensure that misc tasks get done. I don’t have operations in place to eat healthy. I just recently realized that despite what I thought, I don’t have operations to ensure I make all my appointments
Great stuff. One of the dominant paradigms for “making stuff happen” over the last couple decades was very willpower-based; I think thinking in terms of operations is more useful. We can only pay attention to so much stuff; offloading decisionmaking to ops and taking the time to design things so that everything happens correctly is rather useful and powerful.
Great summation and reflection.
Couple thoughts —
Smart. I like to think about it that way too.
I typically write this,
“Philosophy → Strategy → Tactics → Operations → Strategy → Etc”
