starting the day with @andy_matuschak 's article on "Cultivating depth and stillness in research" was exactly what I needed to remind myself to move more slowly and deliberately this year.

Leading to a lovely day of printing words and marking them up over tea - feels like the best work is created with a blend of frenzied creating and slow marinating

which, I just realized, is a bit ironic because in his article, Andy makes a point of not reading the internet in the morning to prevent from having "anyone else’s thoughts in my head before I start thinking my own" 😂

@wattenberger @andy_matuschak My favourite part of this is:

“Visualize close friends; notice that our relationships don’t seem even slightly contingent on the status of my work. Notice that less-close relationships which *do* seem contingent don’t feel terribly precious; notice that I don’t fear losing them.”
