How does one deal with chaos? Easy Answer ................ you sometimes can not.

Right now is a chaotic time of technological growth and achievements that are happening so rapidly it is impossible to keep BUT chaos does tend to organize into order given enough time.
Time itself seems bent but maybe I'll toss back some vino one night and write about that in the future. Anyhow, us humans are being tossed about with the whims of markets, weather, other humans etc..... how do we cope?

Chaos is intrinsic to the human experience. The great void or whirling miasma gives rise to the counterforce of organization and hopefully, progression and evolution. Sometimes just embracing the cray-cray lets you look back to see exactly how far you have come with constant chaos and noise "attacking" your personal goals.

A lot of smart people are on here and it's often common to get a bit anxious or overwhelmed because we are constantly pinged or a new shiny comes out that distracts us. I deal with chaos by trying to remind myself that you can only do so much and to keep it simple.

I can not work in clutter and chaos and usually like an almost spartan environment that would please most minimalists. (keeping it zen helps deal with chaos imho)
Taking time to get your proverbial s*** together really helps keep the avalanche of noise under control.

Thank you for reading and here are some other mental droppings I have going at the moment. Images off the interwebs, Giphy rocks and remember that when life tosses you chaos it can be the start of a totally new road in life.
