Thoughts & Meditations – Scott Hughes
https://sctthghs.com/category/thoughts-meditations
Category Archives: Thoughts and Meditations. Books I’ve Read. Posted in Thoughts and Meditations. A Tom Sachs Primer. Every once in a while you find an artist who makes you jump up and down with excitement. If you’re like me, you get obsessive– first you consume their art of course. All of it. But I’ve done this enough now to know that it’s just something to push through. A temporary flash of self-doubt that can be overcome with persistence. In the end, I always emerge at the other si...Scuplptor Tom Sac...

The Situation – Scott Hughes
https://sctthghs.com/2015/05/22/the-situation
Someone did you wrong and put you in an awkward position. This feels uncomfortable, but it is an opportunity in disguise. Confront the problem head-on. Think of all the things you can use this to practice: empathy, acceptance, peristance, courage. Notice I didn’t say confront. Head-on. There is a difference. Place your emotions and your preferences firmly on the bedrock of WHAT YOU CAN CONTROL. Does it make sense yet? Remember that he and you both will be dead soon. None of this will matter. Neit...You a...

https://sctthghs.com/author/waxpapervitamins-2
Author Archives: scott.h. Books I’ve Read. Posted in Thoughts and Meditations. Book Summary: Where Men Win Glory. This is a book about doing what is right at all costs, and about putting your money where your mouth is. It’s about taking action rather than just talking about it, and about being virtuous in a corrupt world. Tillman is killed in action fighting in Afghanistan and his death is shamelessly used as a public relations opportunity by the Bush Administration to cast the failing war in a positive ...

Hustling – Scott Hughes
https://sctthghs.com/2015/08/10/hustling
Hustling can seem like frenzy. But it’s not. Like not sleeping, working late, moving like a hurricane. So many people seem to hold this as the ideal. Like sleeping only 4 hours a night is a point of pride. But in most cases it’s not. It usually just means you lack focus, and the discipline to say “no” to wasteful actions. Why is he letting his ego run the show? Then you swiftly, calculatedly move on to the next one. Keep your desk clean, literally and metaphorically. A rifle, not a shotgun.

I’m Making a Product. I thought since I’m bringing a product to market that I ought to record what I’m doing. I’m starting late, so here’s a summary of what I’ve done so far. In short, I see some problems with the way music is taught is all wrong. I assume there are other people who feel the same way. So I think there’s an opportunity to help.

Deprivation – Scott Hughes
https://sctthghs.com/2015/05/20/deprivation
I went into an isolation tank this weekend. It’s a coffin-sized enclosure filled with a few inches of saltwater. You go in and you float on the water for 90 minutes or so. You are completely in the dark, no sounds except for your own breath and your heartbeat. Total nothingness. When people talk about information overload, they’re usually talking about digital stimuli. Mass media, social media, email. The isolation tank helps with this. Limit your consumption of literal information, media, messages, but ...

Stop Procrastinating – Scott Hughes
https://sctthghs.com/2015/06/08/stop-procrastinating
Some people never procrastinate. I am not one of them, and I don’t understand them. Instead, I struggle every day against the tendency to sit around, waste time on the internet, and generally sabatoge the opportunities that I work hard to expose myself to. But no matter how hard I try, it’s effectiveness inevitably fades. As Emerson says, “each will bear an emphasis of attention once, which it cannot retain, though we fain would continue to be pleased in that manner.”. The opposite of #1, but equally eff...
