A changing collection of what I’m reading, carrying, questioning, reflecting on, and practicing.
Reading
Exploring Renaissance and Enlightenment history, art, and culture ahead of a spring trip to London.
Following an emerging European History & Culture reading thread across the people, ideas, art, and places we’ll encounter.
Carrying
“Make room for life.”
— Drew Barontini, Simplify
Appreciate what we have, release what we no longer need, and choose experiences over things.
Questioning
Exploring how relationships, incentives, constraints, context, and feedback shape behavior—and where to intervene.
Reflecting
Looking beyond isolated parts to understand the relationships and principles that shape how systems behave.
System Reasoning: components reveal capabilities, relationships reveal interactions, and principles govern behavior.
Practicing
Creating clearer ownership, better coordination, and more space for human judgment.
