Now

Updated on 2025-03-28 Friday from Tokyo, Japan

Here’s a selection of March’s NOW moments..

Finished reading Alastair Gray’s “Poor Things”. I’d watched the movie adaptation on a flight from London to Tokyo while in an unplanned monk mode state i.e. I couldn’t get my headset to work.

My practice with Douglas Harding’s Headless Way exercises continues, and they’re giving me much food for thought e.g. where’s the food going if I have no head?

On account of the WIBBOW test, I closed my monthly email newsletter and also my web3 activities on paragraph.xyx and on Warpcast (by Farcaster). Both paragraph.xyz and Warpcast are innovative products but I’m probably too early because their crypto enthusiasts are probably not my audience - at least for now.

I figured out a way to link my interests in “Time Surfing” (by Paul Loomans) with “tracking” specific goals and their supporting habits aka productivity pr0n. See the screenshot image below from a recent day as recorded in my Hobonichi Techo diary. Explaining this will require a short post of its own, and I’ll link to that in a future NOW entry.

Well, that’s it for this month.

The next NOW entry will be published on or about Monday 28 April.

And here’s my “Now” bio page - inspired by Derek Sivers and too many others to mention.

Some more about me and my life journey so far.
