Routines & Systems
These are tools and rhythms I use to keep long-term research sustainable.
🧰 Core Tools — Structure
— Habitica: Gamified habit tracker. Low-friction scaffolding for rhythm without coercion.
— Toggl: Time tracking for sprints. Reveals temporal drift and hidden effort.
— Obsidian + Tagging System: Zettelkasten-inspired. Linked notes trace long-range ideas and semantic arcs.
— Feature Phone + Timed Lockbox: Ritualized disconnection. Defends deep work through bounded environments.
— LLM Customization: Recursive profile tuning and prompt architecture. A cognitive prosthetic without dependency.
🌿 Supporting Practices — Rhythm
— Walking: Daily, device-free movement. Restores internal tempo and metabolizes thought.
— Aesthetic intake: Reading mirrors of contemporary sense-making, training perception to read the world.
— Cultural probes: Fiction, media, and interaction as laboratories of alternative systems.
