What am I doing now?

The mental model behind Derek Sivers’ now page movement aligns with me closely, as I indeed have friends who only come together once a year when I travel back to my hometown. A frequent subject will be “what’s up? what are the interesting things you’re doing now?“. Besides, I think it complements nicely with my kihon, which is more like a general strategy, whereas this /now page holds up-to-date on-the-ground tactics.

• Resume daily photography by blogging as a replacement of Instagram
• Using my role models as northstar: to learn, refine, and express eloquently

What’s out

• phasing out hiking gradually as snow season is getting in for most of the trails I’ve enjoyed. Thank you PNW nature for granting me a memorable, beautiful and sweaty hiking season this year!
