[15/100] days of productivity

Did research for some articles for my Substack, wrote one, and read a lot while enjoying a delicious afternoon snack.

[20/100] days of productivity

Worked on my Substack, started reading White Nights by Fëdor Dostoevskij and listened to Aly and Aj's new album.

[2/100] days of productivity

“Still, the sun was hot. Still, one got over things. Still, life had a way of adding day to day.”
