WordPress will remain my only form of public social communication from here on out because it’s non-intrusive, and I can check it on my own schedule without getting bombarded with comment notifications. I’ve enabled blog comments again–some of you have left comments on my About page, and that’s not a spot I usually check for messages, so feel free to comment on the individual posts. But don’t get upset if I don’t reply right away because I only check WordPress a few times a week at best.
And nobody send me any email to screw up my Inbox Zero zen right now, or I’ll subscribe you to all kinds of interesting email lists.

Which email client is that? Spark?
Yes, that’s Spark. I use it on macOS and iOS.
If you really want Zen, switch to a flip phone, and turn off the TV.
My happiest, and most adjusted few months (other things going on as well), were when I spent all day either working or reading books, or in-town, with friends.
(Admittedly, working on a porch, by a creek, with a cigar, does make it more pleasant.)
We haven’t had a cable or satellite subscription since 2007. And I am damn tempted to go to a flip phone next, to be honest.
It’s so goshdarn fucking liberating to do this, ain’t it? I went through my inbox a few weeks back and got down to ZERO and it was amazing. Right now there’s 2 emails in there to remind me to get back to their authors but that’s it. And those will be gone in hours. My new rule is no more than 10 emails max and it must be cleared end of day.
