What I'm Doing Now
Updated April 15, 2026
Learning
- Working through They Say / I Say by Graff & Birkenstein. Built a 90-day writing roadmap to go deeper, not just collect notes. Writers I want to write like: James Clear, Paul Graham, Derek Sivers.
- English practice every day: Speak app, fast writing sessions (10-15 min, no stopping to edit), dictation. Slow progress, but consistent.
Reading
- Babel by R.F. Kuang
- They Say / I Say by Graff & Birkenstein (active practice, not just reading)
Projects
- Building a personal AI workflow: Claude Code for work context, Pi agent with Telegram bot for on-the-go capture (voice memos, images, quick notes to my local vault).
- The blog. Still going. Writing is thinking, and I need more practice thinking.
Life
Here's what I want to focus on in 2026:
- 1️⃣ Use smart tools (AI or anything useful) to make life and work easier, while staying thoughtful and independent.
- 2️⃣ Apply my mental models to handle both everyday challenges and unexpected situations.
- 3️⃣ Be a better dad, a better husband, and keep growing as a man.
