Writing

Short pieces under my own name.

Leave a note.Leave a short trail for the next person. Before the inbox.Guard the first hour. What not to build.Leave some work off the list. Close the loop.Finish the open thread. Stay reachable.Answer when it matters. A second read.Look twice, then send. Two clocks.Operating time and health time. Packing light.Work that fits in a bag. Lists, not launches.Ordinary weeks, written down. Quiet weeks.Most of the work is ordinary. Operators and health.Two kinds of work. Ordinary tools.Keep the stack boring. Here’s the work.How I spend my time, and why. Still close to the rails.Distribution beats clever products. Attention and care.Habits that travel with you. Steady work.Ordinary days fund curiosity. In public since 2007.Why this site exists. Time zones.Latin America, the US, and the rest.
