Manualness

Automation makes things faster. But the manual moments — the ones that make you stop and choose — are what keep you present, aware, and in control.

Manualness

Misc

Every system needs a shadow side. The messy drawer, the temp folder, the “misc.” That’s not failure — that’s how your order stays alive.

Knolling

Lay it out. Group what’s alike. Align the edges. Remove what doesn’t belong. Step back. Look again. Clarity from cleaning.

Dupe it

Dupe it and go. Not to be messy, but to move. To explore, iterate, and uncover the thing that sings — faster than polishing ever could.

Later

You’ll always have a Later — but the Now is yours to choose. Mark it. Move. The rest will meet you when it’s ready. Or when you are.

Maker

Momentum doesn’t come from planning. It comes from motion. Ten minutes. One scrap. A tiny step toward proof that it’s possible.

Overworld

The path isn’t always clear. But once you can see the world — even roughly — you can navigate it. Explore it. Refine it. Bring it to life.

Any skill feels clumsy. Then scripted. But eventually — automatic. That’s when the punch is just a punch again.

Spaghetti

Don’t fear the splatter. Fear the spotless kitchen with nothing to eat. Progress is messy. And progress is the point.

TDD

Green checkmarks don’t guarantee progress. It’s not about the badge or the acronym. It’s about whether you solved the problem that really matters.

Hot Shot

A note to my younger self: stay stubborn, stay strange, and write it all down. You’ll need it more than you think.

Spelunky Sunday

Sunday’s adventure? Spelunking my own notes. Wandering deep, finding hidden connections, surfacing with insights I didn’t expect.

Lines (Part 3)

Back again with another Lines post — this time pulling from Wind, Break, Post-it, Try, and Noise. Five lines, five stories, and the little sparks hiding inside them.

Way

We search for “the way.” The secret system, the perfect method. But the only one that matters? Your way. Built from practice, not theory.
