**Connections and Patterns:**
- There's a focus on both personal well-being and financial planning, suggesting a holistic approach to life management.
- The notes emphasize the importance of balance: between action (daily practices) and inaction (in investing), between personal and professional relationships, and between different types of activities for well-being.
**Broader Pattern:**
- These notes seem to be part of a larger reflection on personal development, financial planning, and understanding complex systems (from personal habits to global economics).
**Dissonance:**
- While the notes emphasize daily actions for well-being, they also highlight the importance of inaction in investing. This apparent contradiction might reflect the need for different strategies in different aspects of life.
