Now

Last updated - March 2nd, 2026

What I'm focused on:

Writing slowly. Finishing a long essay on the relationship between attention and craftsmanship that has been sitting in my notebook for months. Letting it take the time it needs rather than forcing it into a deadline.

What I'm reading:

• Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver Burkeman - a book about time management that is really about accepting our finitude.
  
  

• The Poetics of Space by Gaston Bachelard - phenomenology of intimate spaces, read in small doses before sleep.
  
  

• Dept. of Speculation by Jenny Offill - rereading for the third time. Each read reveals different cracks.

What I'm practicing:

Morning walks without a phone. Ten minutes of sitting with nothing each afternoon. Cooking one meal a day from scratch with no recipe - just intuition and whatever the kitchen offers. Saying no to things that are merely interesting in favor of things that are genuinely important.

What I'm thinking about:

The difference between productivity and creativity. How digital tools shape the way we think - and whether it's possible to use them without being used by them. The idea that boredom is not the opposite of engagement but its prerequisite. What it means to live at the right pace rather than the fastest one.

What I'm not doing:

Social media. Metrics. Optimizing. Anything that requires me to think of this writing as a product rather than a practice. The blog has no analytics on purpose - I'd rather write for the void than for an algorithm.
