Now

Reading through nownownow motivated me to create one of my own, so here goes...

Call it a "nerd's corner" for finding other nerds - I'm up for it!

Many of the books I'm reading seem to be mentioning the relevance of expanding awareness, expanding the space between stimuli and response, as a way of leading a meaningful life without distress.

Early experience seems to be filled with the challenge to focus and pay attention to my breath without influencing it, but consistency seems to be doing its magic.

Time will tell if this habit sticks or falls off.

For starters, I would recommend Headspace.

What started as a simple suggestion from a friend turned into a surprisingly fun learning experience.

They recommended Sanity, a tool that lets me manage the text on this website (including the words you’re reading right now) separately from the code that makes the site work.

As I started maintaining a /Now page, this approach made even more sense. When content needs to stay fresh and easy to update, having a proper content system really helps.

And of course, learning something new today is very different from before. With AI tools around, getting started is much faster—maybe not always deeper, but definitely easier 🙂
