. I wanted to capture my current thoughts on AI and how we should approach it for personal productivity. It’s not about replacing people, but about expanding what we can do with the right tools. | productivityplustech.com/p/ai-work… - ift.tt/50clHfM

. In life and work, resist two traps: ⚠️ Don’t take one moment and make it a universal truth. ⚠️ Don’t treat universal truths like they apply without exception. Wisdom lives between the general and the specific. That’s where agency begins. - ift.tt/NbfKJvt

From Minimalism to Optimalism: Rethinking the Pursuit of Less: posts.rsidneysmith.com/2025/10/30/fro…

This retrospective awareness of data collection abuse by technology companies means we all need to do better at stopping collection at the source: us. Learn how to stop this for yourself, family, friends and colleagues (e.g., eff.org/deeplinks/2025…)
