Let’s step into a fresh start. Let’s turn the page. Not with vague optimism that things will be better because surely we’ve endured enough, but with the inner strength to find agency in what we can make better, day in and day out. And if small improvements are hard to sustain, a couple of drastic interventions on our environment isn’t a bad idea.

This is a weeknote published on a Friday morning (Jan 1st) to carve out three days to calibrate my inner dialogue before Week 1, 2021. Time is a story we tell ourselves, and I’m determined that 2021 isn’t a dumb continuation of the mushy and bland and stretchy and depressing and confusing blah of last year.
