The journey to becoming a full-fledged Eventualist a long one. Mind you, it’s also rewarding – but it is long. That’s the nature of anything eventual. Directness is not a quality it possesses or even has. Every word you read on this site takes you further along the path – or if you live in a urban area, the sidewalk. Actually, if you live in Atlantic City it really takes more down a boardwalk than anything else. It’s all relative, really.
Eventualism explores different parts of yourself and what you eventually intend to do and then actually do in an eventual manner. Not unlike a very popular musical supergroup that has finally come of age. No, I’m not talking about Coverdale/Page. I’m talking about John, Paul, Ringo and Eric Clapton’s ex-wife’s ex-husband. I’m talking about The Beatles.
The Beatles transcend music, much like Eventualists transcend productivity. Here are some examples of how these two very different things are so very similar in my own mind:
- The Beatles were not only involved in music, but were also involved in movies. Eventualists have also been involved in movies, in that they are strongly encouraged to watch a lot of them.
- The Beatles explored different musical styles, embraced them and integrated them into their work. Eventualists explore different styles of productivity, dismiss them and delegate their work.
- The Beatles are made up of four people. Eventualists are simply made up.
- The Beatles have their own Yoko Ono who got them off track, possibly with her crazy singing. Eventualists have their own Apolo Anton Ohno who helped them get off track with his crazy dancing.
- The Beatles live in a Yellow Submarine. So do Eventualists, because we all live in a Yellow Submarine.
So play your Rock Band and download from iTunes to your heart’s content. At the end of the long and eventual road you won’t say you want a revolution: you’ll want a Reventolution.
