Lifestyle

This section grew out of questions people kept asking — about how I approach things, not just what I grow. I work in change leadership for a living, and somewhere along the way I noticed I was quietly using that same thinking on my own life: what's worth keeping, what needs redesigning, what can stay simple enough to actually sustain. This isn't advice from an expert, just what's genuinely helped me — written down because enough people asked.

Sunk Cost vs. Worth Nurturing

In progress

A short guide — and a workbook — for telling apart what's worth actively maintaining from what you're only keeping because of what it already cost you. Built from twenty years of watching organisations make this same mistake, turned on ordinary life instead: a cottage wall, a piece of clothing, a project that outlived its purpose.

Choosing Your Cognitive Load

In progress

Not minimalism, and not an aesthetic — a plainer question: does this thing earn its place, does it have a home, could one object do the job of three? Every item you keep is something to track, tidy and decide about again and again. This guide is about getting deliberate about that cost.
