what I'm doing now

Updated: 2026-05-12

trying to end and enjoy unemployment

Being unemployed sucks. I want it to end badly. Having time and energy to focus on other things is great. I know I will miss it once it's gone. My daily life is heavily influenced with this dichotomy: I hate my situation, yet know I should appreciate it more. I try, and at times do.

So, yeah, lot of applications, interviews, second places, high hopes, long falls, and struggles to remain optimistic. But also time to focus on things like exercising, reading, sleep, side projects, being available to help out people.

reading more, writing (posting) less

I had a nice run of consistent posting at the end of last year, but I started to feel like I was running out of things to write. It makes sense, too, since I wasn't able to read and take in new ideas at the same rate I was posting. That's why I've been focusing more on my input. Hopefully, this will provide me with new and improved perspectives, which I can share with you via my notes soon.

I would love to write useful and valuable posts all the time, but in the end, I would much rather optimize my notes for quality and value than volume or daily traffic. I still write here and there, but not as frequently or regularly.

If you want to know what I've been reading, I created a separate reads page.

NOTE

• The idea for a now page came from Derek Sivers.
