The internet is filled with things. Here is one of them.
High Agency2025 Apr 30
Salt grains required. This guy called George Mack created this website about an idea he's rapt with: the idea of people being "high agency" or "low agency." He claims the term is hard to define even if he knows it when he sees it, yet it doesn't seem that difficult to me: a 'high agency' person is someone who gets things done. He then goes on to expand and expound on this concept, touching on some motivating ideas along the way, such as how to avoid quagmires and other "low agency traps."
It's basically the modern version of a self-help book, and so long as you avoid the paradox of self-help (never thinking you're good enough because you're viewing the world only through the lens of self-improvement) then maybe it'll be useful to you. It helped me clean out my inbox, at least.
My grandfather always appreciated a pun and a gag, so he created these round paper discs with printed on them the word "Tuit". If someone was procrastinating, saying they'll get something done "when I get around to it," well then, he'd be able to hand them a round tuit.
