ā³Ā A room of one’s own for writers, a la Virginia Woolf – I love this idea. LINK

šŸ¬Ā The origins of the phrase Hurry Slowly. As a teenager, I lived on the outskirts of a ‘Slow Living’ village, a physical ode to mindfulness, so this resonates. Perhaps more now than it did then! LINK

šŸ§ Ā 12 things everyone should understand about tech. LINK

šŸ’®Ā The Lotus Blossom technique for creative idea generation. LINK

šŸ§ Ā Mental models – an almost complete guide. LINK

šŸ•°Ā Everything is timing. Being awake to temporal forces can help us work smarter and live better. LINK

ā›µĀ These Women Circumnavigated The Earth But Came Back To The Same Sexist Attitudes. An amazing story of perseverance, ocean life and the retrograde bullshit of the Indian Navy. LINK

ā˜ Ā The Corpse Project. What is the most eco-friendly way to shuffle off this mortal coil? LINK

šŸ‘¾Ā Discovering a name for it. The impĀ of the perverse ā€“Ā aĀ metaphorĀ for the urge to do exactly the wrong thing in a given situation for the sole reason that it is possible for wrong to be done. LINK

šŸ’˜Ā Esther Perel on the different language men and womenĀ use when we ask for what we want in relationships, and the permissions we are granted by society. LINK

šŸ”®Ā The tarotĀ cards of tech. LINK

āŒØĀ There is no place for Garamond on the web, with reference to graffiti from Pompeii. LINK

This week I am also thinking about:

  • ResilienceĀ in the workplace, and whether resilientĀ people are the key to adaptable companies.
  • Jessica Lanyadoo’s horoscopes and how they serve as really on-point life advice stars aside. “Growth requires you to change and to risk outgrowing things or people that youā€™re invested in. Follow the organic flow of your life to see where it takes you this week, Scorpio. Youā€™re ready to embody more of yourself in your relationships, even if that means going through a period of discomfort or uncertainty with others. When you show up with more of yourself, things get more real, and if that makes things worse, then itā€™s just a matter of time anyways. Show up all the way.”
  • I’ve started a full-time contract at Canary Wharf ā€“ it feels very back to the future, it was the first area in London I worked, circa 2011. Get your nails done on demand. Amazon Lockers in the canteen. Self-scan & pay machines at the pharmacy. Conveyor belt food options. The design on convenience for an (upper-middle class segment) office worker is insane.
  • Reading Esther Perel’s The State Of Affairs: Rethinking InfidelityĀ ā€“ a book for anyone who has ever loved. (And wondering how I can look as good as the author at 60.)

This lead me down a sitar rabbit hole.
