Why I'm Starting This

There's a Greek word that doesn't translate cleanly into English: arete (ἀρετή).


To the Greeks, it's the quality of fulfilling your function at the highest level.
For a person, it means becoming the fullest version of what you're capable of being.

The idea that you want to pursue becoming more is very appealing to me, and I wanted to write about it here.


What I want to write about

Business and work / what I'm learning, what I'm building, the systems that work, and what works.

Life & Philosophy / How to live well, think clearly, and spend time on the things that matter.

Productivity / things and stuff I learn about doing meaningful work.

Games, Hobbies, etc.


Why I'm writing it

Honestly, I think language is beautiful and the way you use words has an influence on your mind and those of others.

I think this would be a great way for me to keep myself accountable, develop my writing & thoughts, and figure out what I want to do next and what I've done.

I also want a collection, or library, of my thoughts and learnings that can help demonstrate and add meaning to my life.

Ideally, it becomes something that I would've wanted to read as my younger self.


If you're interested in what I might be doing or thinking about, I'd be happy to keep sharing.
