    Hey! How’s it going?Happy New Year! I mean I know it’s been 11 days by now, but just because the calendar flipped doesn’t mean my procrastination habits suddenly disappeared.I did feel a motivation boost for the first 4 days of the year (which were, coincidentally, mostly weekends). And I didn’t even have any resolutions or…

  • My Brain has a Word Limit

    For the past couple of weeks I’ve taken note of how long it takes me to get bored of an activity that involves reading. 1000 words. That’s my personal cutoff. 1000 words of a book. 1000 words of a blog post (or two). Even when I’m reading twitter, I’ll get bored after around 1000 words…

    We’re out here on month 6 of lockdown and it’s the worst it’s been (for me) in terms of how I feel, how my body feels, how much I’m struggling to get things done. I’ve been a night owl my whole life, going to bed at 2AM or later. But the past couple of weeks…

  • I Miss Paris

    Two things. Watching this video made me miss Paris. It’s not like it even shows any of the places that I like or any particular activities I enjoy, but it has the “vibe” and I really miss that vibe. Seeing people, without masks, nonchalantly take the subway is weird. I caught myself feeling low-key panicked…

  • Stay Home &/ Wear a F*cking Mask

    The thing with this thing is that at any given moment you’re either preaching to the choir or talking to someone that’s so thick, so dumb, and so ignorant that you just have to move on knowing that their nose sticking out above their mask is a problem that’s going to take care of itself.But…

  • The List

    Last Saturday I got really bored and decided to make a list of things that I remember being interested in from my teens up until now. I’ve always been the type of person who darts between hobbies several times a week, and so I have hundreds of interests that I never got good at, didn’t…

    I’m in between being an Evernote user and a Notion user, and I’m trying to figure out how to take notes and how to store reference material. Im not working on a specific #project right now, I’m mostly just hoarding quotes and articles and images. If this was for a specific project I’d have much…

  • Summer So Far

    The last thing I remember was taking the subway home from the office and being astounded by a woman eating popcorn out of a bag with her bare hands, occasionally holding onto the railing, as everyone around her (including me) was wearing a face mask. That was in the middle of March, before cases skyrocketed…

  • The Plan

    I hate writing about my plans online. I love doing it, but I hate the way it feels. This blog alone (and this is what, my 10th-ish blog?) has had at least three “I’m getting back to blogging” posts. Sometimes it’s just the only thing I can muster. I have the ambition to do something,…

    I’m not enjoying the fact that this is the highlight of my day, but I’m at Inbox Zero and if feels like a huge load has been taken off my shoulders. For a person who hates working from their Inbox, I do it all the time. So, to not have to do that anymore (even…
