Happy Sunday! I like to write a few some thoughts by hand, which feels more intentional and grounded. Writing lyrics by hand, though, can be tricky – my mind jumps around too much, and it’s easier to follow my thoughts when I type. For simple goals or random reflections, though, handwriting feels just right. Of course, all of this goes better with a coffee!

Nachdem ich die Katze versorgt habe, genoss ich nun in den letzten 45 Minuten die Stille mit einem guten Kaffee und habe meinen Jahresrückblick 2025 festgehalten. Ich orientiere mich dabei an den „40 Questions“ von Steph Ango (kepano), wobei ich mir vor Jahren die für mich 15 wichtigsten Fragen aussortiert habe:

Dazu kommt noch ein vereinfachtes „Wheel of Life“ nach Meyer:

Alles natürlich von Hand mit Tinte in einem Notizbuch, welches ich nur dazu verwende. Bevor ich anfange, kann ich so in den vergangenen Jahren blättern.

Ich wünsche euch allen ein gelungenes 2026!

“Some of my happiest hours are spent writing in my #notebooks. If I flip through one after a session and find that I’ve filled several pages, I’m happy; the more the merrier.“

“If we have any chance of preserving the human voice against the chatbot — of rejecting not just artificial intelligence as the supreme writer, but also refusing to have our own writing contribute to training A.I. — it’s going to be through the pen and humble notebook. It’s going to be, for most of us, through diaries.“
