Field Notes – Lived Signal, Not Theory

Short, scene‑based vignettes (dock, marsh, train, rooftop, etc.) that translate experience into a principle. Use them to feel the concept before you systemize it; they’re great openers for workshops, newsletters, or social posts when you want resonance over instruction.

Compass & Coordinates Volume I: The Lighter I Move, The Deeper I Think

FIELD NOTES: Pulse Between Peaks I hiked switchbacks that alternated grind and overlook—push, pause, perspective. The map didn’t show the breathing spaces; the trail did. WAYMARK: “Progress needs plateaus. ”Reflection Prompt: Where in your work do you climb without stopping long enough to see what the climb is giving you? Coordinate Prompt: Mark three “overlook points” in your next project (dates or milestones) to stop, scan results, and reset pace. Why it matters: Without planned plateaus, effort feels endless and data goes unnoticed. Brief, intentional vista-moments convert exertion into direction.

WAYMARK: “Airflow is a productivity tool. ”Reflection Prompt: Which recurring block on your calendar leaves you depleted because it has no margin before or after? Coordinate Prompt: Insert a 5–10 minute transition ritual (walk, water, breath) before the heaviest block for the next five workdays; observe the impact.Why it matters: Micro‑buffers reduce cognitive residue between contexts, improving creative output and emotional regulation across the day.

Compass & Coordinates Volume III: Grounded in Motion

FIELD NOTES: Carryable Home Kit At a midnight terminal, I unpacked the same three grounding objects—tea tin, pen, small cloth—instantly turning transit into a tiny home base. WAYMARK: “Home travels lighter than you think. ”Reflection Prompt: What 1–3 sensory anchors (scent, texture, sound) make any space feel like yours? Coordinate Prompt: Build a “carryable home kit” you can pack in under 60 seconds; schedule using it at tomorrow’s first remote work block. Why it matters: Portable rituals stabilize nervous systems in shifting environments, preserving focus and emotional bandwidth when routines change.
