Famous Emilie Wapnick Quotes

“We all need a sense of meaning in our lives. The feeling that we're doing good in the world--that we're making a difference in some way--is essential. Not everything we do needs to evoke a deep sense of meaning. That would be exhausting! Multipotentialites are usually involved in a number of different projects. Some of these are naturally more meaningful than others (just as some are more profitable than others). What matters isn't that everything we do is deeply meaningful, but that we have enough overall meaning to make us feel good about how we're spending our time on this earth.”

“Some multipotentialites like to create a regular schedule to use every day. One fun way to do this is to use Barbara Sher's "School Day Life Design Model." In this model, you structure your day the way a student might, going to different classes at different times - only each "class" is a different project. For example: 9 A.M.-11 A.M.: Writing YA novel 11 A.M.-3 P.M.: Building consulting business 3 P.M.-3:40 P.M.: Tinkering time Evenings: Learning Japanese Feel free to play with the length of your "periods," as well as the number of projects you include in your schedule. Finally! A school schedule that is totally on your terms.”
