Perry Marshall Minute: Paul’s Dry-uary Clarity

Mel, A few years ago, my friend Paul was going a little bonkers. Fighting with his girlfriend constantly. Fired from his job for a minor infraction. Mid 30s and feeling like he had made no progress in a decade. Crashing at John's place because he had nowhere else to go. This was late December of 2016. Have you heard of something called "Dry-uary"? I never had. I guess it's a fairly common practice, post-holidays. You don't drink alcohol in January. Paul decided that was a good idea to try. Well, the clarity he got from a few weeks of not imbibing…and the decision to get out of cold, miserable Chicago and visit his brother in sunny Los Angeles…made him think. "Maybe I should stick with this detox thing." Paul is in recovery now. I'm not saying Paul's life is perfect or that he's not had his problems since sobering up…he has. But I do wonder what would have happened to him if he had not detoxed and decluttered his life enough to get that clarity he needed. When we stay in the toxicity, in the clutter, in the day-to-day, in the distractions…we never see the magical mystical forest for all the gnarly trees. And this applies to any clutter. Any toxicity. Any distraction. The greatest distraction of all time is the device that you are very likely reading this message on right now. There have never been more distractions, clutter, and toxicity to deal with than right now, 2022. And there is no reason to think it will get any calmer or clearer any time soon. It will almost certainly get worse. Much worse.
