Your attention is the product.
Every notification, ad, and algorithm is designed to capture it.
Not by accident, but by design.

Our attention is being shaped before we notice it.
Not by accident, but by design.

I wrote a new piece for The Speed of Slow about why it works so well, & what changes when we simply become aware of it.

This writing is mostly free. Slow, honest, and unfinished on purpose.

It’s about coming back to ourselves in a distracted world.

[Mark Myles @markmyles]

I had a dream about technology that actually served human connection instead of draining it.

That dream turned into a question I can’t shake — and now a Substack where I’m writing a book in public.

The most valuable lesson I’ve learned as a journalist is that everybody is interesting if you ask the right questions. If someone is dull or uninteresting, it’s on you.

"There is no need to fear any problem you are working on. If you are working on it, then you are influencing the outcome.

It's the problems you don't address that should concern you."

Get out of your head and take action."

In BC, if you want to build your own house, you need #OwnerBuilder Authorization from @bchousing. So, that’s what I did. It’s a cost to & a challenge but a worthy investment. I’m responsible for all the #contracting, @worksafebc & warranty.

Funnest part so far! Bajillions of plans & finding the perfect one for our preference, practical AND to fit inside the setbacks was hard. We settled on this 21’ x 22’ beauty.
