congratulations Cana!!! I cannot wait to read the article. i am so drawn to your description of ‘meaningful mucking’ as an umbrella for pastimes I’ve been trying to hone myself: activities that rejuvenate or recharge, largely screen-free. drawing and dancing are my current go-tos. And I’m hoping to join your thirty minute writing club this month; I share the fluttering feeling that this season could be one of free-flowing creation. onward✨

Ooh! I love this. Congrats on getting the article published and for almost finishing your other paper! Sending you good productivity vibes for getting the rest done :)

I also love the brownies, the creation > consumption (I also had a very patchy relationship with Cal Newport's Slow Productivity and found it a drag to get through, but I was happy I read it!), and the "What can I do to make my tomorrow self proud?"

I'm keen to hear how you get on with divvying up the days into dissertation and novel/substack writing sessions, too! It's a great idea. Good luck with the visa stuff, too, the stress of that is so real. I hope everything gets sorted soon! Xx
