A list of my prior writing on work

Deep work, Tech memento mori, Caffeine and more

This newsletter is just kicking off so I thought I would add a list of other pieces of writing that I’ve done that can give a feeling for what I’m going to be writing about in the future:

First, here is my most popular piece from a few years ago on Silent Meetings (on Medium)

Second, here are a bunch of posts I wrote on my other newsletter (before forking over to Birddog). (I’ve bolded the ones that were most popular in case that’s helpful :)

• Lessons from "Borgen": on working with politicians

• Reflecting on Software: Education in the age of AI

• Tech Memento Mori: Reflecting on tech days past

• GTD

• The Secret of our Success (as humans): Reflections on Joseph Henrich's book & its implications

• On the Three Deaths of good ideas: with some reflections on TikTok & "Need for Cognition"

• Humans + Caffeine = magic: Reflections on the role of coffee in history, why cyclists drink espresso, and why tea can be better than coffee

• On lists & checkboxes

• On making progress

• On asking questions & tools for thinking

• Embracing Deep Work

And with that, I’ll sign off.

Thanks for reading!
