What I'm working on this week.
Inspired by Derek Sivers' /now page convention. A snapshot of the work in motion. Updated as the season changes.
April 25, 2026
In the queue.
Drafting essay 08 on permission and momentum.
The follow-up to The Universe Doesn't Conspire. On the moment the rewrite becomes irreversible — and what permission has to do with it.
Editing a longer-form piece on the architecture of belief.
A piece that grew beyond a Tuesday essay's length. Not yet sure what shape it ends up taking — possibly a multi-part series.
In the studio.
Editing the next batch of The Second Draft Podcast episodes.
The weekly essay performed for the drives home and the late nights. New episodes drop the same day as the newsletter.
Booking the spring season of Habits of the Few guests.
Reverse-engineering the psychology of people who created the lives others only imagine.
With clients.
Mid-engagement on a narrative-strategy project with a SaaS founder.
Helping a category-defining product find the language to match the work.
Speaking calendar for Q3 starting to fill.
Looking for two more keynote slots in the right rooms. Details on speaking →
On the desk.
The User Illusion (re-read)
Second time through. Surfaced citations for essay 7. The full working library lives at /reading-list.
The rest.
Walking, reading, training. The discipline of doing the boring things on time so the interesting things have somewhere to land.
