I’m not completely sold on this idea, but I’m going to try it anyway. The problem I’m trying to solve is the feeling of not having enough time. At work I use time blocking and that has had a significant positive effect […]
My latest newsletter is in part about why I don’t look up much when I’m outside. Which is true. I find it more comforting to watch the ground and check in front of me. It’s just a habit. I’m not trying to […]
There’s a determined sabatoge-y feeling running grinning savagely under whatever your priorities are. The train to the key meeting is delayed.

Because I’m a great starter and a shitty finisher of personal projects, I’m documenting this process as I go. I’m writing in the framework of David Kadavy’s 100words a day project. It’s money-free, but costs time and attention and I think it will help exercise my writing muscle.
Hey, I got to 90!
So, this is the idea: up, do my ablutions, write my 100 words, research and write my newsletter, plan the art I’ll create for the newsletter, do all the things that are necessary to promote the newsletter, work on my artshop, etc etc. No, I won’t be able to do all of this in a 1 hour block in the morning. Yes, I have to schedule this so I get an hour of Japanese study, plus exercise. No, I’m not sure yet how I’ll do it.
But it’s so much fun to try!
