now

I like the idea of Derek Sivers' now page (and other related ideas and implementations). It is an invaluable tool to organize myself and to put past and current goals in perspective. It should reflect how I spend most of my time, and help in figuring out what I'd like to do next. And I have done other things in the past, too.

🌍 where?

I just arrived in Denmark...and I think I'll be here for a while. πŸ’Œ

πŸ–₯️ coding Ankigarden

Before the upcoming move, I thought it would be good to assess my situation and tie some loose ends regarding some pending projects. Anki scripting had long been on the horizon, and I bit the bullet at the start of the week. It's not yet done β€” much yet to come β€” but a small, almost MVP is ready and I'm excited to see where it will be at next week.

✍️ (still) happily pursuing τα Ελληνικά, men jeg forstΓ₯r allerede lidt dansk

I would like not to lose my progress with the Greek language πŸ‡¬πŸ‡· (which is probably at medium-A2 level), and so I try to practice it daily. Simultaneously, I am delving into Danish πŸ‡©πŸ‡°, which is comparatively much easier (if only in writing!).

Given the intentionality of these processes, a tentative language learning page is sprouting, with some thoughts and resources (Anki, Language Transfer, etc.)

πŸ“š on my bookshelf:

This big language-learning streak put me in touch with some interesting books (exhibit 1 & exhibit 2), some well-being (exhibit 3) and philosophy (exhibit 4)...and more, much more β€” they are all around me, and all over the place.

🀸 and there's more, but...

...I have been a bit disorganised! I have picked up sketching and drawing, possibly inspired by the incessant curiosity of Richard Feynman; there's an intention to spend less time on the Internet (even though the computer is a very necessary tool!); and I seem to be, well, quite comfortable with where I am at. So that's nice!
