About this mind

I jump. One week it's which mushrooms you can eat, the next it's how many milliseconds a piano app is allowed to lag, then a quiz about managers that exists on three napkins and no screens. I learn a bit, try a bit, and move on before anything is done. For most of my life that looked like a problem.

Two things changed. First, I stopped fighting it. The jumping is the point: every topic I touch leaves something behind, a note, a half-built thing, an opinion I will defend at dinner. Second, AI arrived and gave me a way to pick those pieces up again. I can hand it a folder of scattered notes and get back a summary, a plan, sometimes a finished page. Things that only ever passed through my mind can now come out the other side.

So this is the drawer. Hundreds of ideas, thousands of opinions, a few things actually finished. When I go deep on something, and I do go deep, it ends up here: filed, numbered, searchable. Nothing is organized. Everything is filed.

How the drawer works

Every topic is a card. A card gets a number when it enters the drawer and keeps it forever, whether it grows into a guide, an app, a quiz, an essay, a podcast, or stays a single line. The home page pulls a card at random each time you open it, because that is roughly how my attention works, and because the thing you didn't search for is usually the interesting one.

A card is in one of four states:

open

There is something to read or use.

building

I'm on it.

parked

I moved on. I might come back.

idea

Just the title, honestly.

Some cards are whole websites of their own. They all end the same way: a small line that says by UOM and brings you back here.

Felix, in Amsterdam. Curious about most things, finished with few of them, working on the ratio. The drawer opens soon. Until then, write to [email protected].
