Now
What I’m doing at this point in my life. Updated when it changes.
Writing the book
Chapters four through six are drafted and terrible, which I’m told is normal. The goal is a full first draft by winter. I write from about six to ten, then stop even when it’s going well.
On sabbatical
No clients, no launches, no calendar before noon. The business runs quietly in the background. I check in on it once a week and am learning to be fine with that.
Being bad at something
Each month, I pick one thing to be a beginner at. This month is fly fishing. Last month was bread. The bread went better.
Drinking
Working through small breweries one taproom at a time. Current favorite: anything hazy from a place with a dog in it.
Not doing
Advising, investing, speaking, or filling the calendar. I’m leaving room to notice what comes next.
