Now

What I'm focused on right now. Last updated July 2026.

• Rereading The Shallows, slowly, with a pencil.
• Writing a longer piece on why “focus mode” in most apps solves the wrong problem.
• Keeping notifications off by default — three months in, and not missing them.
• Learning to leave the last hour of the day unplanned.
• Hiking once a week, on Sundays. Mostly Hong Kong Trail section five lately — quiet, and you can see water.

This is a /now page — a snapshot of the present rather than an archive. The idea comes from Derek Sivers.
