🍄 This isn't a productivity hack

Hi Reader,

It’s Easter weekend.

A time that holds its own strange, spacious kind of energy—part reflection, part renewal.

And whether you’re spending it solo, with family, in ritual, or half-asleep under a tree, here’s a reminder for you and I:

Not everything has to be productive.
Not everything has to move the needle.
Not everything has to become something.

Sometimes you can just do a thing… because it brings you back to yourself.

I love working on meaningful things. I love making progress. But I don’t want to be a machine. And I don’t want to build a life that worships output more than the presence of a moment for its own sake, or the feeling of being alive in the moment, without thinking ahead.

Psychedelics have shown me that in their own strange, beautiful ways.

There’s a whole inner world that blooms when you slow down, soften, and stop trying to extract from every moment.

So this weekend…

Write something no one will read.
Make a voice note just for future you.
Lie on the floor and let your thoughts unspool.
Take a walk without your phone.

Paint badly. Sing weirdly. Let the parts of you that don’t deal with spreadsheets come out and play.

This isn’t a productivity hack.

It’s a gentle rebellion.
A remembering.
A microdose of magic.

Try it. See what opens.

And if you do, hit reply and tell me what you did just for you.

Have a wonderful Easter weekend!
