Welcome to another Friday Philosophy episode where we consider a different mental model, investigate our favorite frameworks, and muse on the creative habits and rituals of people we admire.
Today we’re digging into an esoteric philosophy called, Via Negativa.
We'll be looking at this framework and sharing how we use it to improve our relationship with time, how we discern our highest priorities, and how to avoid burn out.
Key take aways:
How to use the theory of Via Negativa to abate burn out, overwhelm, and discern our most pressing priorities

How to conserve your energy by asking better questions like, “what's blocking my current perspective that I might be able to subtract?”
How this mental model can help reduce “grasping energy”
