I’ve been getting up each weekday morning at 5:45 so I can spend an hour in deep work. I log my work each morning in a Midori notebook so I can see how many hours I worked that week and what I worked on. It’s a simple practice but honestly, I look forward to it and it’s often my favorite part of the day.

Up this morning, working on editing the last section of a short story I’m writing: dystopian fiction about a Mobile AI Unit that starts attending a Quaker meeting and what happens when the people there start to rely on it too much.
