They told us productivity would set us free. So we organized and optimized and checked all the boxes. We became very good at being very busy. But in the quiet moments between tasks, I felt something missing. Not the missing of empty inboxes or completed lists. The missing of wonder. Of discovery. Of the slow, sacred act of paying attention. So I built a temple for the things that metrics can't measure. For the fragments of beauty too strange to categorize. For the kind of productivity that doesn't produce anything except a deeper way of seeing. This is Sublime.

That's what I do now. I collect resonance. Not information - we're drowning in that - but the stuff that makes my soul hum at a different

Now I’m trying really hard to slow down. Pay complete attention. Lately I’ve internalized there’s something so sacred about focus, rather than constantly deliberating between monitor screens and plans and side hustles. Depth rather than breadth. In a world that is increasingly accelerating — social media eyeballs and immediate gratification and a p

The Search for Stillness in a Mad, Mad World

Peco pilgrimsinthemachine.substack.com

I’m drawn to the idea of an art of living much more so than to the compulsive search for life hacks, regimens of self-improvement, or self-optimization schemes.
