It’s good to feel free to move around between rooms or interstate knowing that everything is well organised and quick to access. An explorer pod helps when travelling light.
Thanks to Josh Spector’s For The Interested newsletter, I’ve learned a new term for a phenomenon I’ve been aware of for years. Habit Fields are the behavioural associations we make with the things and places around us.
Great suggestion: don’t relax with social media in your work chair! Instead, deliberately get up and move to a designated down-time spot. This way you’ll be more successful at training yourself to stay focused when at your work station.
This somewhat obliquely reminds me of the time travel trick I use to help me get things done when I’m having trouble being motivated: rephrase the task as if it was already done.
I recently wrote about how I’m writing my morning pages in Nebo on my iPad (because I can’t justify the expense of a reMarkable 2), then exporting them to Drafts and from thence to my daily note. These daily notes do currently reside in an Obsidian vault, but I’ve changed my mindset to view them as independent files rather than Obsidian files.
Since purchasing a small cross-body bag as my every day carry (I call it my Explorer Pod), I’ve started using the pocket sized Moleskine cahier as an on-the-go notebook. Really liking the constraints of the smaller size so far.
Also in this pouch is my minimalist wallet, keys, lip balm, pen, bandaids, tiny bottle of lavender oil (great first aid for mild burns), comb, glasses, hand cleaning sachet, and phone.
My trusty A5 Paper Saver recycled paper notebook is still going strong, living full time now in what I fondly refer to as The Mothership (my new portable office convertible backpack), alongside my 12 inch iPad Pro, 16 inch MacBook Pro, cable bag, double glasses case, and inflatable pillow.
