August 3rd, 2021

I’m in the midst of my sixth week of sabbatical. It has been filled with walks and video games and reading and cooking and a general existential unclenching.

I published an article just as I was embarking on my sabbatical and I’ve written two biweekly retrospectives, if that’s interesting to you. I’ve also managed to send out a new issue of The Deliberate.

On my mind: do I have a book in me (and if I do, do I have what it takes to find it?)? what professional seeds should I be planting right now? do I have what it takes to fundamentally change my physical health (and do I even want to)? how have nearly six weeks of sabbatical already gone by? how do I still have nearly 10 weeks remaining?
