Two Percent with Michael Easter
Find Joy in Any Job: Lessons from a Top Doctor and a Vagabond

And so a lot of people have basically placed the weight of the world upon their shoulders.

Two Percent with Michael Easter

They're trying to save the planet, save humanity, solve climate change.

Two Percent with Michael Easter
Find Joy in Any Job: Lessons from a Top Doctor and a Vagabond

And that's that never ending.

There's no accomplishment of a goal anymore.

Two Percent with Michael Easter
Find Joy in Any Job: Lessons from a Top Doctor and a Vagabond

But what I do instead is I work on things that I can have a clear goal for, like maybe it's to plant 200 community fruit trees this year.

And we know that by planting those 200 community fruit trees that we are contributing towards the reduction of climate change and that we're improving people's quality of life.

And we have tangible goals.

Two Percent with Michael Easter

So one of the biggest mistakes that I see in especially young change makers who are very enthusiastic is they set these huge goals and they base their organizations, their companies, their work around having to accomplish these huge goals before they've even gotten started.

A pot, definitely.

I use my pot a lot.

That's a very beneficial thing.

Two Percent with Michael Easter

It's very multi-purpose, drinking, cooking, to-go container for food, and so on.

It's also a vessel for harvesting rainwater, trapping fish potentially.

There's so many things that can be done with a pot.

I would say some clothes, you know, and if I could only have one item of clothing, it would probably be like a big warm wool shawl or something that would cover my whole body.

And then honestly, I'm going to go with my computer right now because my objective is to reach millions and millions of people and create

the ripple that I can in the world.

Two Percent with Michael Easter
Find Joy in Any Job: Lessons from a Top Doctor and a Vagabond

And I can do that without the computer.

Two Percent with Michael Easter
Find Joy in Any Job: Lessons from a Top Doctor and a Vagabond

I've experimented.

I've not owned a computer.
