Practice

Friction weeding️

Systematically identify and weed out points of pain, stress and friction in your life.

Why it matters

Over time, small stressors, inefficiencies, and recurring annoyances can accumulate and quietly drain your energy, focus, and well-being.

Without friction weeding, these subtle burdens often go unexamined — tolerated as part of the background noise of life. But they add up. They slow you down, sap your motivation, and create unnecessary tension in your daily experience.

Friction weeding is a way of reclaiming your energy and making your life more livable. By deliberately identifying and addressing sources of resistance — whether practical, emotional, relational, or structural — you reduce unnecessary suffering and restore a sense of flow.

Neglecting this practice can lead to chronic stress, resentment, and avoidable burnout. Practicing it helps you live with greater ease, clarity, and capacity.
