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.

the topics
For the past decade I've been grouping everything I'm interested in the following categories:
healthy
- sleep
- food
- exercise
the base for everything else really.
wealthy
- I look at wealth as personal connections, investments of and gains of time and energy
wise
- 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.
the format
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.
obvious basics
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.
"A wealth of information creates a poverty of attention and a need to allocate that attention efficiently among the overabundance of information sources that might consume it.” ― Herbert A. Simon
