Keeping a small notebook
A pocket notebook does not need to be tidy. Writing a line or two each day, even a half-formed thought, makes it easier to notice what you actually care about.
Notes on a quiet morning
Coffee, a window, and no screen for the first twenty minutes. It sounds trivial, but it changes how the rest of the day feels.
Three books I keep returning to
Rereading is underrated. Each time the same pages say something slightly different, mostly because the reader has changed.
Simple tools, simple workflow
Plain text files, a folder structure that fits on one screen, and a weekly review. Most of what I need fits in that.
