Hi, I'm Cso,
this is where I store my ideas, learnings and share reflections.
I'm a designer, maker, curious about life in general, but also a bit of a "graphomaniac, meaning I love to take notes. It helps me think and understand.
I thought I'd share some of these writings, hoping they will provide some
- clarity
- inspiration
- and spark curiosity
for myself and for you too.
On the topic of movement and exercise to start with:
What happens if you read about "misogi" and start listening to Goggins.
2024 was the year I decided to see how long I can keep the workout streak up.
TLDR - life force boost, mental health benefits and overall building resilience.
More about the topics next, the whys and hows:
For the past decade I've been grouping everything I'm interested in the following categories:
- sleep
- food
- exercise
the base for everything else really.
- I look at wealth as personal connections, investments of and gains of time and energy
- learning and reflection, through theory, experiences and practice
I'm starting with health, emphasis on exercise, and will touch on the rest too as we go.
I'm thinking of these notes as a database of important things I find, learn, want to remember, or do, something like a shared but personal library I can return to.
I would not put so much effort into capturing these ideas for myself only, so thank You?
I’m publishing half written articles too, drafts, as outlines / placeholders as part of "sketching out" the full picture and then will keep refining them.
A lot of what I write will likely seem obvious, and that is my goal, to establish a base level of "obviousness", going towards common sense. Then "compress" all the information into some applicable principles, while showing the depth of the "research".
Easier said than done.
I also want to advertise or remind about highly underrated, but often obvious ideas and try to get to the most important thoughts in each key area. The whole 80/20 thing.
With all the content noise nowadays I felt a craving to get a clear idea of the basics and repeat the most important things.
